Dr. Luh was born and raised in Longview, WA. His father (a retired family
physician) and mother (an enthusiastic dabbler in Chinese medicine) played
a large role in his decision to pursue education in both Western and Chinese
medicine. He obtained a BA in Biology at Pomona College in Claremont,
CA. Subsequently, over the course of four years, he received his Master
of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MAcOM) degree at Oregon College
of Oriental Medicine and his Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine
(DACM) degree at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine - studying Chinese
medicine modalities such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping,
and massage. Before starting medical school at Oregon Health & Science
University, Dr. Luh spent 2 months in rural Nepal providing primary care
services using both Chinese and Western medicine; this experience solidified
his passion for primary care and integrative medicine. He is dedicated
to incorporating evidence-based modalities to help patients, including
those that do not neatly fall under the umbrella of either paradigm. He
also believes that primary care is the perfect platform to discuss preventative
care and lifestyle medicine. Within family medicine, he is particularly
interested in integrative medicine, addiction medicine, geriatrics, and
palliative care. In his free time, Dr. Luh enjoys reading non-fiction
books, traveling, playing the piano, and watching horror movies.
