About Blue Waters Acupuncture Center

My name is Michael Carruth and I received my MD degree from the University of Florida College of Medicine and completed an Internal Medicine Residency Program at the Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, NC. I later received my master’s degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (ranked by thebestschools.org in Sept 2012 and Sept 2015 as the best Acupuncture school in the nation). And I am licensed as a Diplomat of Oriental Medicine (i.e., board certified by the NCCAOM in both Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine). I have chosen not to become licensed to practice medicine under the MD degree in the state of WA because these are two full medical disciplines and I have refocused my efforts on Chinese Medicine. I feel that is where I can best serve people, but given my educational background, knowledge, and prior experience as an MD, I often serve as a bridge for those who trust in conventional Western Medicine but also have a genuine interest in Chinese Medicine. I am honored to serve our patients in Yelm, Roy, McKenna, Tenino, Olympia, Lacey, Lakewood, Shelton and other nearby communities.
