She is the heart and soul of the Center for Integrated Medicine (CIM). She has been in medical practice since 1994 and has been engaged in Traditional Chinese Medicine much earlier. Began as Far East Herbals Clinic and Apothecary in the early ’90s which later became Center for Integrated Medicine. She helped start a special brand of medicine offered in a very unique way to California South Valley.

Her philosophy is firmly rooted in the belief that illness is the cause of imbalances and disharmonies of the body. Wellness is achieved through correcting the imbalances usually by a combination of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) medical modalities. She has treated a broad spectrum of medical conditions and believes that there are no true healing without simultaneous involvement of body, mind, and spirit.

She is truly a modern-day medical practitioner and is an invaluable resource to her community since she can integrate the two health care systems. Dr. Kwong has clinical doctorate degrees in both Western allopathic medicine (Pharm.D.) and that of Oriental medicine (O.M.D.) as well as that of a Professor of integrative medicine and Clinical Preceptor to medical interns. Teaching is a big part of this Center and she continues to precept intern students from various universities.

Born in Hong Kong; speaks English and Chinese (Cantonese and Toisanese). Her background and training has provided her with a unique ability to be sensitive to the diverse background of the Central Valley. Walking into her clinic is very much like entering a natural medicine museum. One will notice the medical artifacts from Asia, particularly the medicinal items (now antiques) once used by her father and great uncle at their clinic in Hong Kong.

She is also the co-founder and president of ACS (Asian Cultural Society) and ASAO (Autism Spectrum/Asperger Organization of Tulare and Kings County). You will find her tending to her herb garden when she is not teaching, lecturing, writing or involved inpatient care.
