“I believe a good health practitioner is someone who can remain humble, curious, compassionate and maintain an open mind. After years of practice, I still uphold these values, maybe even more so! My treatment philosophy aligns with the fundamentals of Traditional Chinese Medicine – health is an ongoing process of maintaining balance within the body. Locate the root or underlying cause of your issue in order to construct lasting change – supporting your body’s ability to perform its natural functions optimally with minimal interventions. I believe taking the time to go over all the variables and individual needs is vital to each person’s journey, I never want a patient to feel unheard. Collaboration, consistency and understanding are fundamental in achieving positive results with Chinese Medicine. I love being a pivotal part of my patients’ healthcare team! To be able to build long-lasting relationships, and see my patients through all their stages! Come for acute or chronic conditions and then to maintain health and longevity! I love what Chinese medicine can do and after all these years I still find myself incredibly passionate and humbled by this job!” - Dr. Yip
