Biography
A Practitioner Who Listens
Dr. He (Annie) Li is a California Licensed Acupuncturist and Doctor of Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine with more than two decades of healthcare experience. Her unique background combines extensive training in both Western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine, allowing her to provide comprehensive, patient-centered care that addresses the root causes of illness while supporting overall wellness.
"True health is not just about normal physical indicators — it's about the holistic balance of emotions, lifestyle, and the body working in harmony."
A Decade in OB/GYN Medicine
After earning her Bachelor of Science in Medicine from Dalian University, Dr. Li practiced as a physician at a leading OB/GYN hospital in China for over ten years. During that time, she specialized in women's health conditions including hormonal imbalances, gynecological disorders, and reproductive health concerns — developing a deep clinical expertise in the conditions that affect women throughout their lives.
Building a Career in the United States
Dr. Li later continued her medical career in the United States, becoming a highly credentialed ultrasound specialist. She currently serves as a Principal Ultrasound Technician at UCI Medical Center, where she brings her diagnostic expertise to one of Southern California's leading healthcare institutions.
The Turn Toward Holistic Medicine
Driven by her passion for holistic healing and a deep respect for the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Dr. Li pursued advanced studies in TCM — earning both a Master of Science in Traditional Asian Medicine and a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine from Alhambra Medical University.
Since becoming a licensed acupuncturist, she has helped patients find relief from a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, stress and anxiety, digestive disorders, infertility, women's health concerns, and overall wellness challenges.
Her Approach to Patient Care
Dr. Li believes that effective healthcare begins with listening. She takes the time to understand each patient's unique health history, lifestyle, and goals — creating personalized treatment plans that combine the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with her extensive clinical experience.
Rather than applying one-size-fits-all protocols, she examines how your emotions, diet, sleep, stress, and family dynamics all interact. Her treatment plans reflect this whole-person perspective, integrating acupuncture, herbal medicine, lifestyle guidance, and dietary recommendations into a cohesive, sustainable approach.
Her compassionate approach, attention to detail, and commitment to patient education have earned the trust of patients throughout Southern California.
Integrative Medicine Residency
From August 2024 to August 2025, Dr. Li completed an Integrative Medicine Residency at AHMC Medical Group — deepening her expertise in blending conventional Western medicine with evidence-based complementary and alternative therapies. This residency further strengthened her ability to treat complex cases by drawing on the full spectrum of both Eastern and Western clinical knowledge.
Language & Accessibility
Dr. Li offers consultations and treatment in both English and Mandarin Chinese, making her care accessible to a broader community. Whether patients are seeking pain relief, improved balance and vitality, support for fertility and women's health, or a natural approach to long-term wellness, Dr. Li is dedicated to helping them achieve lasting results and a healthier quality of life.
