Philosophy
The key to one’s optimal health lies within taking preventive measures before the occurrence of disease.

Andrew Lin is a strong believer of treating the body as an integrated whole in order to restore one’s optimal health. He has a strong understanding of the human body to achieve homeostasis. Because everyone’s body is uniquely different, he will communicate and carefully learn the patient’s lifestyle in order to create the best and most effective treatment protocol.
