A registered dietitian for Garden Grove — virtually.

Garden Grove is one of the most culturally rich cities in Orange County — it forms the northern edge of Little Saigon, the largest Vietnamese community outside Vietnam, and is home to the county's first Koreatown along Garden Grove Boulevard, with Christ Cathedral and the decades-old Strawberry Festival as local landmarks.

That food culture is central to how care has to work here. A nutrition plan that ignores pho, banh mi, Korean BBQ or the way a family actually cooks isn't going to last — so the work is building around those foods, not replacing them.

Healthcare is also the city's largest employment sector, which means a lot of residents work shifts. Virtual care fits non-standard schedules — a video visit happens around your hours, from home, with no drive.

Between a deeply multicultural community and a large shift-working healthcare workforce, a fixed mid-day clinic appointment is hard to keep in Garden Grove. Telehealth meets you on your schedule, from wherever you are.

Each session is a video visit. We talk through symptoms, blood sugar and the foods you actually eat — Vietnamese, Korean, whatever's on your table — and you leave with a personalized, culturally-aware plan and resources I send right after.

I'm based in Orange County and virtual-first. Select in-person sessions in OC are available by request, but the practice is built around telehealth so care stays consistent.

A lot of Garden Grove clients come in for PCOS, hormone work and insulin resistance, plus gut health and IBS — work that lands best when the plan is built around the foods you and your family actually eat, not a generic template.

Diabetes and metabolic health are the other big bucket, and worth flagging: medical nutrition therapy for diabetes and prediabetes is often insurance-covered, which matters here. All of it is weight-inclusive and culturally-aware — progress is measured in labs, energy, cycles and symptoms, never the scale.
