Zhaodi gong, md/pHD

  • Eager to learn more about chronic pain management, Dr. Gong moved to California in 2014 and started her fellowship in Clinical Pain Medicine at Stanford Pain Management Center. Through the fellowship training, she not only mastered a variety of interventional pain procedures, but also learned in depth about multidisciplinary pain management approach emphasizing integration of multimodal medical management, mind and body, pain psychology and physical therapy.
  • During her fellowship training, Dr. Gong was also very excited at the novel application of PRP and stem cell therapy in pain management. She believes that regenerative therapy will help some pain patients in a better and longer-lasting way. 
  • Since the opening of her private practice in 2017,  Dr. Gong has helped numerous chronic pain patients manage their pain through PRP and stem cell therapy without surgery.
  • Dr. Gong also has special interest and passion in chornic pain management of patients with Lyme disease and alternative treatment of Lyme disease and its co-infections with acupunctuer and herbal medications.
