Give yourself the enduring gift of vitality
Discover an individualized, holistic approach to medical care that looks for the root causes of illness so you can enjoy lasting health
Dr. Bernice Wong, M.D., Wu Wei Vitality, Newton, MA
Hi! I’m Dr. Bernice Wong
As a doctor trained at Tufts Medical School in the Greater Boston area, I’ve spent the last 20 years specializing in geriatric health and wellness. I started Wu Wei Vitality to enhance my traditional medical background with additional ways of offering personalized healing and wellness that are unique to each person.
I look for the root causes of conditions that may be affecting your ability to enjoy your life. By adjusting lifestyle and nutrition choices, while also using traditional medicine solutions when needed, my goal is to help you embrace each year of getting older and wiser, feeling your best and enjoying life to the fullest.
Dr. Bernice Wong talks about her practice with Wu Wei, functional medicine, and acupuncture.
Functional medicine services
At Wu Wei Vitality, I specialize in cognitive health, prevention, and reversal of cognitive decline and dementias.
Functional medicine looks at lifestyle, history, nutrition, and lab results to find the root causes for chronic illness, cognitive dysfunction, and mental health conditions.
Unlike traditional medicine, where each condition is seen as a separate issue, functional medicine uses a holistic approach to achieving wellness, personalized for each client.
Acupuncture services
To offer even more healing tools, I am also certified as an acupuncturist through the Structural Acupuncture for Physicians course at Harvard Medical School.
Acupuncture is an ancient healing method, known to reduce pain, decrease reliance on medications, help with weight loss, increase mobility and mental clarity.
I’m a member of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture.

What our clients are saying…
“I knew of Dr. Wong from her work as a geriatric clinician, and was eager to experience acupuncture for lingering musculoskeletal pain from a repetitive shoulder injury when I learned Dr. Wong was opening Wu Wei Vitality LLC. The shoulder is one difficult joint, I can tell you, and I had hit a plateau in healing and wanted to get back to lifting weights and carrying out even everyday tasks with greater ease. My acupuncture sessions were all about patient-centered care, as Dr. Wong always deeply listened to my thoughts, my words, and my body. I felt we participated in collaborative acupuncture treatment efforts, with Dr. Wong as the expert in acupuncture, and with me as the expert in, well, me. The sense was always one of deep caring and being cared for. Over the course of just a few sessions, the shoulder pain was drastically reduced and I was able to return to full functioning and more in terms of lifting weights again and doing other forms of exercise involving the shoulder and arm. During the time I was seeing Dr. Wong for acupuncture, I had a couple of additional concerns due to activity-related injuries, and these were addressed quite quickly to my great relief. I now continue to see Dr. Wong for prevention, health maintenance, and overall mind-body-spirit wellness.”

“I have been seeing Bernice for acupuncture for over 9 months. She has treated me for PMDD (hormonal balance), muscle strains, chronic muscle tightness, and a laceration on my foot. I have noticed significant improvements and accelerated healing in all the areas. When I am able to see her weekly, I notice my physical body and mental and emotional state are in harmony and relaxed. I am so grateful to have found her! I look forward to each session, where she takes such care and consideration for my needs. She truly takes care of you as a whole person. I recommend Bernice highly.”

“Dr. Bernice Wong has been a lifesaver for me. When I was lost and no conventional doctor would listen to — or process — my concerns, Dr. Wong heard every word. She validated my experience and made me feel that nothing was foolish or imagined. We worked through behaviors and habits, supplements, diet and blood tests to get to the bottom of some of the things that I was worried about. Her care went beyond our visits. It wasn’t unusual to get an email from her reminding me to take a walk or breathe deeply. I felt respected and cared for. I highly recommend Dr. Wong, and admire her outlook, education and thoughtfulness.”
