Jason K. Vuong, M.D.

I agree with the World Health Organization (WHO) regarding their definition of good health as a "state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." It is my firm belief that our environment, social circumstances, mindset, food choices, level of physical activity, and health literacy play a major role in affecting our total state of health. I hope to treat you and your loved ones as a whole person, in the context of your lives, and not just as an isolated health problem. I enjoy discussing non-pharmacologic strategies such as nutrition and exercise before committing my patients to lifelong prescription medications. I rarely prescribe narcotics for chronic pain and I also avoid their use short-term. Additionally, I also try to avoid psychiatric medicines that have additive potential that does not treat underlying psychological or psychiatric conditions. I enjoy taking care of entire families in order to understand patterns and trends. I look forward to being your doctor, and more importantly, a champion of your health throughout the years to come.

Outside of Medicine, I grew up in the south bay area where I enjoy our beautiful valley surrounded by sunbaked mountains. I enjoy the outdoors and like hiking local bay area trails. I hope to visit every national park. I also enjoy trying new cuisines because food adds so much flavor to life.
