Lieu, DO, a highly skilled and compassionate physiatrist with specialized training in sports medicine and interventional pain management/spine care. Dr. Lieu is not just a new addition; he has been mentored and guided by two of our own, Dr. Moradian and Dr. Vartanian, since his residency days at Casa Colina in Pomona, CA. His journey with us has been years in the making, making his arrival feel more like a homecoming.

A Physician Who Feels Like Family

Dr. Lieu’s relationship with our practice goes far beyond his impressive credentials.
