About Dr. Katya Adachi Serrano
Dr. Adachi Serrano is a family doctor and integrative medicine specialist. After completing her undergraduate degree at UCLA and medical school at UCSF, she trained in Family Medicine at the UCSF-Affiliated Sutter Santa Rosa Family Medicine Residency program in Santa Rosa, California.
To honor her Native roots (she is Ho-Chunk and White Earth Ojibwe on her mother’s side and Japanese on her father’s side), Dr. Adachi Serrano pursued a fellowship in integrative medicine, attended herbalism school and became a clinical herbalist. She is also a practitioner of the hands-on bodywork practice of osteopathic manipulative medicine, including craniosacral therapy. She is the first medical doctor certified in strain-counterstrain by the Jones Institute.
Dr. Adachi Serrano draws upon her unique medicine and wellness training to practice the best of medicine, old and new. Her work is in service of others, and she strives for every patient she serves to experience dignity, respect, honor and support to find the wellness they deserve.
This event is co-sponsored by the Association of Native American Medical Students and Physicians at the David Geffen School of Medicine.
