I am a Licensed Acupuncturist and Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. I have been in practice since 1993 and founded Marin Optimal Health in 2015.
Marin Optimal Health provides comprehensive healthcare in a comfortable welcoming environment. I treat chronic and acute immune and autoimmune disorders, pain and inflammation, thyroid conditions, hormonal imbalances, digestive ailments, flus, colds and more. To do this, I integrate Oriental Medicine, Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine with Functional Medicine and nutritional supplements. If needed, I’ll recommend various laboratory tests, pharmaceutical grade herbal and nutritional supplements, and healthy dietary and lifestyle changes.
As a doctor, my healing focus is on the whole person. I’m committed to providing all my patients with a comprehensive healthcare experience that restores their health and improves their quality of life. I will listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and do my best to support you throughout the treatment process.

We have a professional herbal and nutritional pharmacy, representing Apex Energetics, Evergreen Herbs, Designs for Health, Health Concerns, Energetix, and Golden Flower Chinese Herbs. We can provide lab test requisitions for blood, saliva and stool with lab test kits from various U.S. laboratories such as Labcorp, Cyrex Labs, Mosaic Diagnostics, DiagnosTechs, Diagnostics Solutions, Quicksilver Scientific, and more.
An important note: There are things no doctor can do for you. Only part of what your healing requires happens in the doctor’s office. Practicing self-care through healthy lifestyle habits, and following recommended treatment protocols at home, will facilitate healing and increase the likelihood of a successful outcome.
At the front desk, the office manager answers the phone, schedules appointments, processes supplement and herb orders, takes payments, gives you receipts and invoices, electronically bills your insurance (when applicable), and manages the office pharmacy and inventory. This allows Dr. Gordon to focus on patients and their cases. This is how Marin Optimal Health runs smoothly. Our beautiful ground floor office suite is tucked in a tranquil hillside on the east side of Terra Linda in San Rafael, just off Hwy 101. Our office has electromagnetic frequency (EMF) remediation to ensure a minimal WIFI field.
Marin Optimal Health is a pay-at-time-of-service practice. We don’t accept payments directly from insurance carriers. If your insurance covers acupuncture and/or nutritional care, we may be able to submit claims electronically for you. For this, you’ll need to provide a copy of both sides of your insurance card. Our fees for services are listed on the Patient Agreements and General Office Policies page. Our first visit office forms and questionnaires are also on this link. On your first visit, and at the beginning of every cycle of treatment, you will receive a Good Faith Estimate.
