Acupuncture to Dr. Tam Khai Thai is as natural as his second skin. He learned the essentials of ACUPUNTURE from a family tradition that had been passed-on from generations to generation. At a tender age of nine, his first teacher was his paternal grandmother, who practiced Oriental Medicine in Vietnam. He then had four other teachers/mentors, who refined his skills not just in acupuncture but also in martial arts.

He was one of the few pioneer acupuncturists licensed in Texas. When the American College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (“ACAOM”) opened in Houston, Dr. Tam Khai Thai was one of the original professors. Aside from being a current board member, he had been a former board member and treasurer of TAAOM in its formative years. Nationally, he is also a concurrent active member of the American Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (AAAOM).

Today he operates two clinics: one located in Brenham and another in Conroe. These clinics had been established since 1985. All these years, his specialty also covers acupuncture treatment for horses with his ardent partner Dr. James Brown, DVM in Brenham, TX.
