Shiao-Ting Jing, L.Ac., O.M.D.

Shiao-Ting Jing comes from a family of several generations of traditional Chinese medicine. Her grandfather was a famous local doctor of gynecology in He Bei Province. Unfortunately, his valuable book was burned in the Chinese Cultural Revolution, and Dr. Jing’s mother did not have a chance to finish learning from him.

Dr. Jing loved medicine from a very young age. After completing eight years of medical school training in western and traditional Chinese practices, she decided to become an OB/Gyn. She studied at GanSu College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, under Professor Zhang Ren Yi, a seventh-generation OB/Gyn doctor of Chinese medicine. Dr. Zhang used traditional methods to train Dr. Jing, who observed and palpated pulse quality, practiced facial diagnosis, and mixed herbal formulas. She learned a great deal from this unique and valuable clinical experience, to treat patients with infertility, menopause, endometriosis, uterine myoma, PCOS, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, etc., having great success as a young doctor.

Unfortunately, Dr. Jing lost her cousin to an autoimmune condition, which resulted in kidney failure. She grieved for a long time following this incident, and sought a famous doctor to train her in treating this condition. In 1988, she went to a Beijing University affiliated hospital, DongZhiMen, to study with Professors Shang Xin Men and Lü Ren He, who were experts in auto-immune disorders, including kidney failure. She practiced as the primary intern, treating many patients under the guidance of these professors. She also played a key role in the research on the use of both types of medicine to prevent and treat kidney infection and failure, which won awards countrywide. As part of her training, Dr. Jing also taught and supervised graduating interns at the university.

After three years of work and study, Dr. Jing started working at Beijing Immunology Hospital as a chief physician. In 1992, she followed her husband in moving to Los Angeles , beginning to treat patients in 1993, and opening a busy private practice in 1994.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE: Currently on the faculty of both Yo San University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Los Angeles and Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine, Santa Monica; former Clinic Supervisor, Yo San University Clinic.

SPECIAL SKILLS: Expert in Chinese herbal formulas, acupuncture, nutrition, and integration of Chinese medicine with western medical treatments to care for all patients’ conditions; specialized focus on treatment of gynecological conditions such as infertility, menopause, endometriosis, dysmenorrhea; auto-immune diseases, pediatric conditions and general pain management.
