Born and raised in Silicon Valley before it was called Silicon Valley Brian has grown up alongside the computer industry – ground zero for all computer related pains and strains. As a certified Functional Integrative Medicine Practitioner with a masters degree in Health Psychology from Stanford University Brian understands the mind/body connection and has worked in operating rooms as an Anesthesia Technician as well as multiple physical therapy clinics, private practices and hospitals. Brian then went on to receive his masters and doctorate in Oriental Medicine and Pain Management from Five Branches University; armed with this unique skill set Brian offers his patients the best of both worlds by integrating western and eastern treatment protocols into his specialized integrative approach to occupational and orthopedic medicine. Brian is also the Clinical Director of Two Worlds Clinic in Mountain View, Ca offering pain management, orthopedics and internal medicine to those suffering with chronic health challenges unmoved by conventional medicine. Brian’s first academic love is biomechanics and after receiving his undergraduate degree in Kinesiology/Biomechanics he continues to deepen his understanding of functional movement through the works of Howard Nemerov, Moshe Feldenkrais, F.M Alexander, Joseph Pilates and others. Growing up in his dad’s veterinarian clinic and loving animals he knew he would one day be a doctor. He just never expected it would be two legged creatures instead of four legged ones.
