Whitewater University: Clinic Audit

Accessible Holistic Care & Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Jose

πŸ“½οΈ Whitewater University: Holistic & Accessible

Getting high-quality care at Whitewater University of California (WUC) is an excellent way to access Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) without the high price tag of private clinics. As a nonprofit university, they are deeply committed to community health and accessibility.

Auditor Insight: Ground Floor Convenience

Located in a modern business suite on Almaden Expressway, the entire university and medical center (Suite 111) are on the ground floor. No elevators or stairs are required, making it 100% scooter and wheelchair friendly from the sidewalk in.

πŸ₯ The Clinic Experience

Treatment rooms are private suites designed for comfort. While acupuncture tables are standard height, student interns and supervisors are trained to assist with transfers or can adapt treatment plans if you prefer to remain in your wheelchair for certain procedures.

πŸ…ΏοΈ Arrival & Parking Hacks

Several ADA-designated blue spaces are located directly in front of the building entrance at 3150 Almaden Expy. These offer the shortest possible "roll" to the front door. Pro-Tip: Call the clinic at (408) 822-9355 before your first visit to ensure your treatment room is prepped and clear of extra stools.

πŸ’° Incredible Community Value

WUC is famous for its affordable care. While treatments are often free or heavily discounted, there is typically a small $20 administrative fee. The front desk is positioned at a height that is easy to access from a seated position, ensuring a smooth check-in process for all.
