I'm an acupuncture physician too. I built Terrain Medical to be the medical practice I wished I could refer my own patients to.
A personal physician for your patients. An MD colleague you can reach.

I keep Terrain Medical to 150 memberships so I can give each patient time and attention throughout their care.
I review the records your patient sends before we meet. Their first membership appointment is 80 minutes, giving us time to discuss their history, what they've tried, and what matters most to them.
A medication question. A lab result. A change in how they feel. Your patient can message me directly for guidance from the physician who knows their history and care plan.
I become their primary care physician for everyday health needs, ongoing concerns, and staying well. I order testing and prescribe when appropriate, and coordinate in-person or specialty care when needed. I also review their medications. When one can safely be reduced or stopped, I guide that process.
We coordinate care for the active Terrain Medical patients we share, with their permission.
Ask about a medication, discuss a finding, or compare what we're noticing. Send a secure message anytime. I read messages morning and evening, seven days a week, and reply within a day, with rare exceptions.
I share relevant visit notes, lab results, and changes in what I recommend, so you can consider those findings alongside what you're seeing in your own practice.
What improves, what persists, and what changes between your visits can help guide what I investigate or adjust. I consider the treatment, herbs, and supplements your patient is receiving.
We each retain our independent clinical judgment, and my prescribing follows the standard of care. If our assessments differ, we talk directly. When I believe more acupuncture would help, I'll recommend it.
I practiced acupuncture for seventeen years before residency. Since 2007, I've taught more than three thousand practitioners.
My training includes an MD, a PhD in biomedical sciences, and a doctorate in acupuncture and Oriental medicine.
“I've been in clinical practice for twenty-eight years at Kaiser Permanente and in private practice. What I value about Dr. Steiner is that he understands the work I'm doing as an acupuncturist and knows how to connect it with the medical evaluation.”

Share the booking link with your patient. They can choose a time for a 30-Minute Practice Introduction Call with me.
You don't need to explain the membership. I'll walk them through how it works, answer their questions, and help them decide whether it fits.
The introduction call is informational. It isn't a medical visit.
You're also welcome to meet me first. Book a 30-Minute Practitioner Intro Call to ask the questions you'd want answered before recommending a physician.
Outside Florida? I'm licensed in Florida today, and expansion to more states is planned. You're welcome to book a practitioner call.
