His professional interests include population health and care for the underserved, lifestyle and preventive care and sports and wilderness medicine. “My practice philosophy is that the human body is capable of doing many wonderful things to keep us functioning from day to day, including self-healing” Dr. Hoang said. “My vision of medicine is to help you live the life that you want to. I chose medicine as a way to give back to the many people who have helped me on this journey.”
