About Joann:
Joann is a licensed acupuncturist in San Diego. She comes from a
family of MDs 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 met
the high expectation and 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 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.
