Yousef Zarbalian, MD

"Dr. Zarbalian or "Dr. Z" chose medicine as a profession because of his innate empathy for human suffering, as well as his passion for life-long learning. These two impulses found their home first in internal medicine, followed by rheumatology subspecialty training. After three years of experience in a rheumatology clinic and expanding his expertise in holistic medical care, Dr. Zarbalian made his next step in his evolution as a healer: provide an environment where his unique skillset in immunology, western pharmacology and herbalism, and medical acupuncture could be offered to his community. East-West Rheumatology opened its doors December 2019."
