Summary
- I am an integrative medicine specialist, board-certified family physician, and licensed acupuncturist who is dedicated to the health and well-being of people with cancer. By combining Eastern and Western approaches, I specialize in helping my patients manage symptoms that may arise from their treatments, including pain, fatigue, insomnia, hot flashes, anxiety, and depression. My research centers on investigating the mechanisms, effects, and integration of complementary and integrative health therapies such as acupuncture, yoga, tai chi, massage, and herbs for symptom management among cancer patients and survivors. I have received funding from the National Institutes of Health, the American Cancer Society, the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, and the Department of Defense. I have published over 150 peer-reviewed manuscripts in leading oncology journals such as Journal of Clinical Oncology, JAMA Oncology, and JNCI.
