Get to know Internist and Licensed Acupuncturist Dr. Kam Tareen, who serves patients in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania.

Dr. Tareen, a board-certified internist and a licensed acupuncturist, is the owner and operator of Advanced Physician Acupuncture in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania. He brings more than 25 years  experience in Western medicine together with Eastern treatment procedures to help patients with chronically painful conditions and chronic refractory ailments — those who resist standard treatment.

Providing holistic care to his patients, the doctor customizes each treatment by combining modern Japanese acupuncture techniques, French auricular acupuncture, and German micro-acupuncture approaches, as well as laser and electro-acupuncture. He does so for the following conditions: tinnitus, fibromyalgia, migraines, neuropathic pain, lymphedema, structural and orthopedic problems, osteoarthritis, autoimmune and autonomic disorders, mood disorders, scar treatments, OB-GYN problems including infertility, chronic musculoskeletal and myofascial conditions, chronic pain and fatigue, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, smoking cessation, and weight loss.

Back in 1983, Dr. Tareen earned his medical degree from DOW University of Health Sciences in Karachi, Pakistan. Upon relocating to the United States, he trained at the Harvard Medical School’s Structural Acupuncture Course specifically designed for physicians. He also studied French auricular acupuncture with Dr. Rafael Nogier, and German micro-acupuncture at the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich. Finally, he finished his training with a residency in internal medicine at the University of California, Irvine Medical Center in 1993.

With nearly four decades of experience in his field, Dr. Tareen is board-certified in internal medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world.

Internal medicine is the medical specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. Physicians specializing in internal medicine are called internists. They manage and prevent common and complex diseases by providing comprehensive care and promoting overall well-being.

Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine and a key component of Traditional Oriental Medicine. It is a technique in which thin needles are inserted into the body and in some cases electro-stimulation is applied to gently stimulate particular regions of the body. Acupuncture is also used to maintain general health and well-being. Acupuncturists treat a variety of physical and psychological issues, such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, pain, digestive disorders and infertility. 

Among his numerous accolades, Dr. Tareen is the recipient of Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016), On-Time Doctor Award (2014, 2015, 2016), and Patients’ Choice Award (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2014, 2015, 2016).
