About Stanford Primary Care in Santa Clara
Hung is an internal medicine doctor at Stanford's primary care clinic in Santa Clara, where she sees perimenopausal and menopausal patients in PeriWell, a clinic she runs inside the practice. She is the Director of Women's Health for Stanford's primary care department and co-directs the university's annual menopause conference for clinicians. Alongside menopause care she works on bone health and midlife weight gain, and she leads group visits every other month on preventing and treating osteoporosis. The clinic keeps a care coordinator in the room during each visit to take notes and handle referrals afterwards, and it has a dietitian, pharmacist, physical therapist and behavioral health clinician onsite. New patients can book a first appointment online, and video and phone visits are offered. She speaks Mandarin as well as English.
