Dr. Fei Tian, PhD and fourth-generation TCM practitioner
Dr. Tian is an acupuncturist in Gothenburg with more than 40 years of clinical experience. She qualified in medicine in China in 1985 and completed her PhD at the Sahlgrenska Academy in 2008.
A family tradition going back four generations
“Many patients needed another route to relief. That is where TCM could make a difference.”
For me, traditional Chinese medicine is more than a profession. It is a family tradition that has been handed down for four generations.
At 16 I chose to follow my family’s path and began studying medicine in China, covering both conventional medicine and TCM. In China this combination is called integrative medicine.
After qualifying in 1985, I worked as a doctor at university hospitals in China until 2000. There I treated patients with pain, stress, migraine, fertility problems and chronic illness. I also treated conditions caused by changes in the central nervous system, such as Parkinson’s disease and dementia.
Many of my patients had already sought help elsewhere in the health service and needed another route to relief. That is where TCM could make a difference.
In 2008 I completed my PhD in cardiovascular research at the Sahlgrenska Academy in Gothenburg. My research background lets me combine the rigour of science with the TCM view of body and mind as a whole.
Today I see patients at my practice in Eriksberg. Here you get safe, personal care that complements the treatment you already have. My aim is to help you find balance, relief and a path to better health.

How I work
- 1
I listen first
Every treatment starts with your story: your symptoms, sleep, digestion, habits and any medication you take. Then I examine your pulse and tongue.
- 2
I explain what I find
I explain what your diagnosis means, in terms of both TCM and Western medicine.

A complement to your care
Acupuncture does not replace your doctor or your medication. Continue with your regular treatment and keep me informed about it.
