Testimonials

When I first came to Dr. Zhu, I had nerve damage, a hormonal deficiency, pain, and a host of mental problems. Today, just over a month later, my nerves are mostly healed, I have had improvements in my hormones, a great reduction in pain and back problems, and a massive improvement in my mental health. Dr. Zhu is hands down the best doctor I have ever been to. She truly cares about you and your health. She is a doctor with heart and a passion for healing. While some doctors treat the symptom, Dr. Zhu treats the problem at its core. All areas of health, including mental and physical, are investigated and treated under her care. With a great mind, and great experience to match, Dr. Zhu hones in on what is causing your ailment and helps correct it through acupuncture, recommendation or prescription of holistic medicine, changes to your self care and habits, and more! At 2 Dots Integrative Medicine, you receive excellent medical treatment that targets the problem from a doctor who truly cares about you. I have great faith in Dr. Zhu and I am confident she can help you, just like she has helped me.

Let me begin with my conclusion. Without reservation, I would urge you to consult with Dr. Zhu because she has the training and the empathetic nature to treat the entirety of you. Dr. Zhu embodies her practice. I admire her excellent training, her empathy and her calm, thoughtful approach. After each appointment, I leave feeling stronger, more hopeful and grounded. As far as I know, this is the best review I could write of a physician because she treats the whole person, and the mind is also a powerful tool for healing. Recently, I was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer. Chemotherapy had beat me down and I was left with side effects that affected my whole body. These included digestive issues, disturbed sleep patterns and peripheral neuropathy. I felt that I needed an integrated approach to all of these issues but my medical plan and my Oncologist primarily focused on surgical and chemotherapy solutions. These are important, don't get me wrong! I would probably already be dead without those surgical and chemotherapy interventions. However. A person is more than their specific disease. Dr. Lin Dan Zhu was recommended to me for several specific reasons. Besides her medical foundations in traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, she is also a graduate of BASTYR University, School of Naturopathic Medicine. Her internship included the specialty of Integrative Oncology. I had been reading several books by Andrew Weil and I sensed that I needed some of that "East meets West" integrated medicine, a blend of old knowledge with current research based on human clinical trials. In her practice, Dr. Zhu integrates both styles of medicine and the result for me has been reduced symptoms and a better prognosis for a healthier and longer life.

Dr. Zhu changed my life when she taught me how to breathe correctly. My breathing was interfering with daily activities, exercise, and causing me a lack of sleep. She helped me to realize I was breathing from my chest and not my stomach. With her very gentle ways she calmed my emotions and worked with me until I learned how to breathe through my stomach. She provided a free app and encouraged me to practice. I went from getting an average of 4-5 hours sleep to getting about 6.5 - 7 hours sleep each night. Also, my normal breathing has shifted and I use the breathing to calm myself whenever I feel uncomfortable. I loved Dr. Zhu's calm, gentle, kind, personality.

Dr. Lin Dan Zhu is the most thorough medical practitioner I've ever dealt with in both the allopathic medical system and the alternative medical system. She is professionally trained in multiple modalities, which enables her to holistically treat her clients with the most appropriate combination of treatments. She is incredibly thorough, and your first visit with her will be a very comprehensive assessment of your physical and emotional health. She holds a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine, has completed an accredited Naturopathic Residency Program as part of her Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine, is a Licensed Acupuncturist, is Diplomate of Oriental Medicine, and is completing her certification in Functional Medicine. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

Dr. Lin Dan Zhu is a brilliant naturopathic and functional medicine doctor and Chinese medicine practitioner who has genuine concern for her patients. Her vast and varied education informs her approach in finding and treating root causes of conditions. Her knowledge of diagnostic tests is more comprehensive than that of my PCP who has been in practice for at least 35 years! She does not throw a bunch of expensive supplements at an issue; rather she applies her wide ranging knowledge to it and comes up with a comprehensive and logical plan to minimize cost and maximize results. Dr. Zhu has an impressive arsenal of skills and techniques. She is easy to reach and generous with her time. From the moment I met her, it was obvious that she has a passion for her chosen field and truly cares about people and helping them regain or maintain health. I finally feel that I am in good and capable hands!

Dr. Zhu is a very gentle person with a wide breadth of knowledge in Chinese medicine. She was very thorough with me in taking history and explaining everything.

We are lucky to have her in Marin.

Dr. Lin Dan Zhu is a wonderful doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Along with consultation, I received acupuncture treatments and Ghua Sha for pain relief which was so effective. Dr. Zhu is a caring doctor who is passionate about healing and her patients. I highly recommend her to address any health concerns. Dr. Zhu was also helpful with recommending an herbal supplement; this however is not the center of her practice. She believes that food is medicine and advises on nutrition and overall wellness.
