Li Li, MD, PhD
“I believe that
each patient deserves a personal commitment from the doctor to help
them live their life to its fullest. True wellness must include a
strategy for addressing all aspects of the mind, body, and soul. By
listening to the patient’s needs and educating them on their
condition and preventative care, I am able to build a relationship
that supports communication and better treatment of the whole
person. It is through these personal relationships with the whole
family and seeing progress in patients’ well-being where I have
found great joy”
Dr. Li has lived and
worked in various countries, including China, Belgium, Canada, and the
USA, which gives her insight into the needs of diverse cultures and
their people. With her additional background of traditional Chinese
medicine, she reviews the overall condition of the patient and develops
a personalized program. She lives near Ann Arbor with her husband and
enjoys playing violin, traveling, swimming, cooking, and calligraphy.
