Irvine Center of Integrative Medicine and Wellness Dr. Timothy Chiu

I found out about Dr. Chiu through word of mouth during one of the most difficult periods of my health journey. I had been diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis and Ulcerative Colitis, and despite following prescribed medication protocols, I wasn’t experiencing meaningful improvement. At my worst, I was in and out of the ER regularly with chronic, uncontrolled pain. It was physically exhausting and emotionally discouraging — not only for me, but for my family as well. After expensive medications failed to provide relief, I had very little hope left. Out of desperation, I made the decision to drive to see Dr. Chiu — even though driving is one of the most uncomfortable positions for me due to my condition. At that point, I felt I had nothing to lose. In addition to rib cage and lower back inflammation, I was experiencing crippling right upper quadrant pain, persistent gut inflammation, low energy, poor sleep, and bladder issues that my primary care doctor had not been able to resolve. I had also gained a significant amount of weight, attributed to prolonged steroid prescriptions used to manage my autoimmune conditions. Physically and emotionally, I felt depleted. From the beginning, Dr. Chiu took a thorough and individualized approach to my care. I always left his in-office treatments feeling better than when I came in. Through his in-office therapy, dietary guidance, and supplement support, I began noticing meaningful improvements across multiple areas of my health. There has been a significant change. My right upper quadrant pain has vastly improved. My gut symptoms are more manageable. My bladder issues have significantly reduced. My energy levels are higher, my sleep has improved, and I have been able to lose weight that I had struggled with for quite some time. Most importantly, I have been able to reduce my dependence on pain medication and physically keep up with my young son — something that once felt impossible. Even driving, which was once extremely uncomfortable, is now far more manageable. Without this care, I believe I would still be struggling with uncontrolled flare-ups and frequent emergency visits. Instead, I feel hopeful that I can return as close as possible to my old self. I would highly recommend Dr. Chiu to anyone seeking a thoughtful and patient-centered approach to complex health challenges. His professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to his patients truly set his practice apart.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Chiu. When I first came to see him, my hormones were very unbalanced and I truly didn’t feel like myself. Dr. Chiu took a holistic and thoughtful approach, helping me through nutrition guidance, supplements, oxygen therapy, red light therapy, and laser therapy. After each session, I felt noticeably better—more balanced, energized, and like myself again. I’m incredibly grateful for his care and support, and I’m happy to say that I am now 3.5 months pregnant and feeling great. I highly recommend Dr. Chiu to anyone looking for a holistic, whole-body approach to healing.

I’m so grateful for Dr. Chiu and want to share my experience. I came to him with a severe H. pylori infection that had been causing me so much discomfort and stress. Dr. Chiu took the time to listen carefully to all my symptoms, explained everything clearly, and guided me through the treatment with so much patience and care. His approach was professional, reassuring, and effective. Thanks to his expertise, I finally received the proper diagnosis and treatment I needed, and I’m feeling so much better now. It’s a huge relief after struggling for so long. Dr. Chiu explained everything clearly and guided me through a treatment plan that included herbal, natural supplements — and the best part is that I experienced no side effects. His approach was gentle, holistic, and still highly effective. Along with that, he provided a detailed food plan that supported my recovery and improved my overall digestion. What impressed me even more was the additional therapies he included in my treatment: • Laser therapy • Infrared therapy • Gentle nerve stimulation • Percussion therapy These treatments were gentle, effective, and worked together to reduce my symptoms and speed up healing. Thank you, Dr. Chiu, for your compassion and for truly caring about your patients. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated doctor.

I am extremely thankful for my holistic doctor and his incredible care. He helped me change my nutrition, regain my energy, and greatly improve my kidney problems. Before seeing him, I was constantly dealing with kidney infections and often ended up in the emergency room. Thanks to his treatments—laser therapy, oxygen, massage, and infrared light—I started noticing significant improvements in just two months. This experience has truly changed my quality of life, and I highly recommend his holistic approach.

My wife has been coming to see Dr. Chiu for treatment, and I would like to say how much my family and I appreciate the care She's received. Dr. Chiu is the nicest man I've ever met. He's taking the time to make my wife feel comfortable. Since starting the treatment, my wife is feeling a lot better. She has less pain on her fingers. We're thankful for the difference his treatment has made. I would definitely recommend 100% anyone who has arthritis pain should at least to see Dr. Chiu for consultation. He is an excellent doctor and a better person in my book.
