North Bay Medical Arts

          North Bay Medical Arts was founded in 2008 with the intention to bring the safe and effective remedies of Chinese medicine to Western society.  Our goal is to work in collaboration with Western medical practitioners to bring fully integrative healthcare to the San Francisco Bay area. We specialize in women's and family healthcare, and plan to open a joint integrative medical practice with an Allopathic Doctor in 2010.  We are currently looking for an Allopathic Doctor to join our practice who shares our vision and passion for integrating Eastern and Western medical systems (ideally a female pediatrician and/or family medical doctor).  Please contact our director, Lindsey Hayes, at lindsey@northbaymedicalarts.com  if you are interested in joining our practice or investing in North Bay Medical Arts.
