Meet our resident physician
Michael Woo-Ming, MD, MPH has cared for thousands of Southern California patients since 1999. Trained at the Mayo Clinic Family Medicine residency, he built his career on closing the gap between allopathic medicine and evidence-based integrative care. He earned his MD from Wayne State University and a Master of Public Health from the University of Michigan, grounding his clinical approach in prevention, outcomes and real-world practicality.
His work has appeared in Physician’s Practice, Medscape and Medical Economics. He has been active with the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, the Age Management Medicine Group and the Obesity Medicine Association, and his leadership in integrative and wellness clinic development shows he understands both sides of modern medicine: what works in the exam room and what scales in the real world.
At SD Weight Loss Center, Dr. Woo-Ming leads programs in medically supervised weight management, hormone optimization for men and women, and regenerative therapies, pairing modern diagnostics and technologies with proven, natural strategies when they add value. The philosophy is simple: use the best available science, personalize every plan, measure what matters, and adjust quickly.

Local roots, no spin
Spring Valley isn’t LA glam or Silicon Valley grind. The team knows which taco stands call after soccer practice, which breweries debut a new release on Friday, and how the 125 clogs at dusk. Recommendations have to work in that reality, or they don’t make the plan.
