About Joann:
Joann is a licensed acupuncturist in San Diego. She comes from a
family of physicians and oriental medical doctors in Shanghai, China.
Growing up, she witnessed and benefited from Traditional Chinese
Medicine (TCM).
Her parents decided that their older son would study Western
Medicine and later become an orthopedic surgeon and she would
become a student in Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese
Medicine where her mother was a biochemistry professor. Joann
graduated top of her class from the prestigious Shanghai University of
TCM. She is one of the two recipient of "Li Yue Qing honor
scholarship". She practiced both Chinese Medicine, acupuncture and
Western Medicine as a physician in the teaching hospital affiliated with
the University and successfully treated thousands of patients. She
also taught medical students and visiting doctors.
She later came to the US and graduated with a Master's degree in
Pharmacology from University of Kansas Medical Center. She is a
member of The Endocrine Society due to her research in the bio-
pharmaceutical industry in the area of women’s reproductive health,
diabetes, etc. These experiences provided her with unique perspective
and understanding of how Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine
can work together and help patients.(click here for a list of her
publications) Joann was appointed as faculty member for Pacific
College of Oriental Medicine in 2011. She had also given lectures to
SDSU students.
Joann understands that many of today’s complex diseases require
delving into the root cause of the problem, not just treating the
symptoms. She also understands that the modern-day stressful life,
changing environment and Western diet require that we be extra
vigilant to maintain our health. That is why she is dedicated to
combining her experience from both her Chinese and Western
medicine background to help people achieve a balanced life.
Outside of the clinic, she is a soccer mom who enjoys walking and
reading.
