Jason K. Vuong, M.D.

Dr. Vuong agrees with the World Health Organization’s definition of good health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. He firmly believes that a person’s environment, social circumstances, mindset, food choices, level of physical activity, and health literacy play a major role in their overall health. Dr. Vuong strives to treat his patients and their loved ones as whole people, within the context of their lives, rather than as isolated health problems. He enjoys discussing non-pharmacologic strategies, such as nutrition and exercise, before committing patients to lifelong prescription medications. He rarely prescribes narcotics for chronic pain and also avoids their short-term use. Additionally, he tries to avoid psychiatric medications with addictive potential that do not treat underlying psychological or psychiatric conditions. Dr. Vuong enjoys caring for entire families to better understand patterns and trends. He looks forward to developing long-term relationships with his patients and being a champion of their health throughout the years to come.

Outside of Medicine, Dr. Vuong enjoys the outdoors and hiking local Bay Area trails. Having grown up in the South Bay Area, he appreciates the beautiful valley surrounded by sunbaked mountains. He hopes to visit every national park and enjoys trying new cuisines because he believes food adds so much flavor to life.
