Hello!
I am Dr. Andréa Fuzimoto
I am a clinician and researcher working with Holistic and Integrative Medicine (HIM) applied to chronic diseases for over 25 years. This approach allows me to do something that I LOVE! … Transform people’s health by evaluating dysfunctional systems and pathways, addressing the root problems, and by using natural, gentle, and effective tools to support health. Conditions that I often see include gastrointestinal, neurological, and immunological conditions. I have multiple official specialities and certifications such Functional Nutrigenomics, Herbal Medicine, Acupuncture, Neuro-Scalp Acupuncture, Multiple Sclerosis, and others. Apart from my private practice, I have worked and trained in centers of excellence such as the California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) at the Stroke Clinic and the Zhu Neuro-Acupuncture and Rehabilitation Center. As a researcher, I have trained and worked at Stanford University Medical School (Division of Pain Medicine) with NIH-funded clinical trials. I am a peer-reviewed published author and a Elsevier Certified Peer-Reviewer collaborating with several scientific journals providing specialized revision of manuscripts in Integrative Medicine.
Working with Traditional Medicine combined with Evidence-Based Medicine is my passion! Patients look for my careful health evaluation, strategic recovery planning, and compassionate care.
Tailored Integrative Functional Care
As a researcher, I love investigating the details and missing pieces of my patients’ cases so we can find solutions.
