A Unique Approach to Healing

Welcome! I’m Dr. Steve Chee, a quadruple board-certified MD and licensed acupuncturist, with a passion for blending Eastern and Western medicine to support holistic healing.

For nearly two decades, I’ve dedicated my career to exploring the mind-body-spirit connection, integrating the best of modern science with ancient healing wisdom.

Stephen Chee, MD, MPH, MA, MTOM, LAc

Trained and licensed as both an MD and acupuncturist, I’m one of the few in the nation to bridge these worlds—a rarity in medicine, and an honor I hold deeply. My journey in medicine is grounded in the belief that healing is a journey of reconnection—reconnecting with the wisdom of our bodies, the energy of our spirits, and the transformative power of compassion and community.

I invite you to join me in a space where healing isn’t just about relieving symptoms, but about rediscovering your whole self.

Why Work With Me?

Dual-Trained, Dual-Licensed

As both an MD and acupuncturist, I combine the rigor of Western medicine with the holistic insights of Oriental medicine. Less than 0.5% of acupuncturists are also MDs, making my perspective unique and offering you a rare blend of modalities that honor your entire being.

Quadruple Board-Certified

I’m board-certified in Family Medicine, Integrative Medicine, Medical Acupuncture, and Oriental Medicine. This diverse training allows me to offer an integrative approach that draws from the best of both worlds, tailored specifically to your needs.

Certified IFS Therapist

Alongside my medical practice, I’m a Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist, an evidence-based psychotherapeutic approach. IFS helps you explore the parts of yourself that may be holding onto pain or resistance, offering you a deeper path to self-understanding and healing.

My Approach: A Journey of Connection, Compassion, and Courage

Healing, for me, is not just about finding the right treatment but about creating a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered. Inspired by Rumi’s words, “Soul, a moving river; body, the riverbed,” I see the body as a vessel that holds the flow of the soul, guiding its path toward balance and alignment.

Together, we will explore both the measurable and intangible aspects of health, allowing true healing to unfold naturally from within. Whether you’re seeking to restore physical balance, make empowered choices for self-care, or embody your authentic Self, I am here to support you every step of the way.

My promise to you: I’m not a “two-minute doctor.” Our first session will be an hour, allowing us to build a relationship, explore your unique needs, and take this journey one step at a time.

Education & Expertise in Action

With over two decades of experience in the mind-body-spirit field, my journey has been marked by continuous learning, teaching, and presenting. I’ve been privileged to share my knowledge through various prestigious platforms and trainings, helping others discover the transformative power of integrative healing.

9 Fun and Interesting Facts About Dr. Chee

1.A Lifelong Learner In addition to my MD, I have a Master’s in Public Health from UCLA, a Master’s in Traditional Oriental Medicine, and a Master’s in Spiritual Psychology. Learning is a passion, and I strive to bring that curiosity to every patient relationship.

2.Inspired by “The Force” Watching Star Wars as a child fueled my fascination with the mind-body relationship. I’ve often thought of Eastern thought as a form of “the Force” that connects us all.

3.A Natural Teacher I love teaching and have served as faculty at the University of Santa Monica’s Spiritual Psychology program for over 10 years. My greatest joy is watching someone learn something new and make it their own.

4.A Heart for Service I’m honored to have received awards for my service in community health, working with underserved communities in Los Angeles. Giving back is an integral part of my journey.

5.A Personal Journey with Pain My own experiences with chronic pain have been my greatest teachers. They’ve taught me the value of safe, natural solutions, and I bring these insights to the care I provide.

6.Acupuncture Enthusiast I’ve needled myself thousands of times—my first instructor insisted that we master self-needling before treating others! This practice has taught me to choose the gentlest, least painful methods first.

7.A Year in Hong Kong I spent a year in Hong Kong between medical school years, working part-time and learning Oriental Medicine. It was inspiring to see traditional practices integrated into modern healthcare.

8.Passionate Gardener Gardening reminds me of medicine—it’s about finding the right environment for each plant (or person) to thrive. Light, water, nutrients—it’s all about nurturance and balance.

9.A Metaphorical Thinker I see science as sheet music—it gives us structure, but the experience of life is the real melody. My approach to medicine combines scientific rigor with an invitation to live with joy, meaning, and purpose.

"Steve is an incredible facilitator on all levels. With his incredible, warm, nourishing, heart he infuses his western medical expertise in his workshops. The workshop brought all the aspects of mind, body, and heart together. The idea of bringing the experience of unconditional loving in the body, and that I am in charge of that was beautiful. I love the idea of we are a soul with a physical body and we can experience love flowing throughout. Very powerful! Steve made me feel held, and safe and inspired me to try something new.

His Zen-like calmness conveys a message of trust and safety. Then what he does with your history is sheer genius. The frosting on these gifts is his perception beyond what things appear to be.
