Dr. Wagner dedicated 14 years to public healthcare.  He provided care to over 8,000 patients while working in public health and serving as Director of San Francisco's Walden House Acupuncture Clinic, Director of the Tom Waddell Pain Clinic, and as Executive Director of California Acupuncture Resources.

Dr. Wagner has been an academic and clinical acupuncture school faculty member, a speaker at acupuncture conferences nationwide, and the author of articles for a number of respected journals and magazines.
