Spence Pentland, Dr. TCM, persued undergraduate studies in botany, herbology, & horticulture, then went on to graduate with his doctor of TCM from the acclaimed International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Vancouver, BC. He completed his internship at Anhui Hospital of TCM, Hefei City, China. In 2008, he completed certification with the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine. Since 2004 he helped build one of Vancouver’s most successful Chinese medicine acupuncture clinics (as voted by the Georgia Straight), Acubalance Wellness Centre, and as of February 2011, Spence has now joined Qi Integrated Health Clinic,, where he continues to focus exclusively on treating reproductive health (infertility, endometriosis, PCOS, recurrent pregnancy loss), men’s sexual/andrological health issues (infertility, prostatitis, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation), stress & pain.

Dr. Pentland also is the founder of The IVF Acupuncture Group of Greater Vancouver, available 7 days/week for on site embryo transfer day acupuncture treatments at the Pacific Centre for Reproductive Medicine (PCRM). Please call to discuss availability for on site transfer day treatments at Genesis Fertility Centre.

Spence is well respected professionally by his peers, & his compassionate expertise is profoundly reflected in past patient testimonials.

As past president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association of British Columbia (TCMABC), past member of the provincial BC TCM quality assurance committee, founder of both West TCM Enterprises, a burgeoning resource for online health information websites and resources, & Medigogy wellness webinars, Spence is actively involved in educating healthcare colleagues and the public on the powerful healing benefits of Chinese medicine & acupuncture.

Healthcare practices run deep in his family. His father is a retired pharmacist, his mother a teacher and passionate practitioner of energetic healing, and his brother is a fitness trainer.

In his spare time Spence spends every spare second he has with his family, & continues his post-graduate studies writing, nature, and men's health.

Spence works daily on the integration of ancient Chinese medical Daoist wisdom into modern western life. "In Traditional Chinese medicine we treat the whole patient, considering the root causes affecting a patients’ health and their overall well-being. Chinese medicine gives me the tools to diagnosis each patients’ unique pattern of imbalance and to work with them to correct those imbalances and foster true healing of the mind, body and spirit. This is the essence of vibrant health and well-being."
