alt="Dr Richard Saint Cyr" width="281" height="420" />About This Website</strong></p> <p>I am a U.S. board certified family medicine doctor, currently working in the USA near Seattle, at the Swedish Bainbridge Island Primary Care Clinic.</p> <p>I moved back to the USA in the summer of 2016, after working in Beijing since 2006. In Beijing I saw patients at <a href="https://beijing.ufh.com.cn/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beijing United Family Hospital</a><strong>.</strong> I was also the Group Director of Clinical Marketing and Communications for the United Family Hospital national chain of hospitals. I wrote a health column for the <a href="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/category/%e4%b8%ad%e6%96%87/%e7%ba%bd%e7%ba%a6%e6%97%b6%e6%8a%a5%e4%b8%ad%e6%96%87%e7%bd%91%e6%92%b0%e7%a8%bf/">New York Times</a> China edition and also had regular columns in <a href="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/category/resources/beijingkids/">Beijingkids</a> magazine and the popular Chinese parenting magazine<a href="https://www.myhealthbeijing.com/category/%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87/%E6%AF%8D%E5%AD%90%E5%81%A5%E5%BA%B7%E6%9D%82%E5%BF%97%E6%96%87%E7%AB%A0/">《母子健康》</a>. I created this blog in the summer of 2009 to fill what I’d seen as an internet information gap regarding health care issues for Beijingers. There are many blogs and websites about food, media, restaurants, etc — but precious little good information on health and wellness in China.</p> <p>My focus is on <em>preventive medicine and public health</em>. I use evidence-based medicine as much as possible, and quote only reputable organizations (such as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization, New England Journal of Medicine, New York Times, etc). This website, as of November 20, 2009 proudly passed peer-review certification by the Health on the Net Foundation until 2014, and complied with the HONcode standard for trustworthy health information. You can verify here</p> <p><strong>About Me</strong></p> <p>I moved to Beijing in 2006 from San Francisco, where I received my ABFP diploma in family medicine from UCSF Santa Rosa. I received my M.D. at Saint Louis University School of Medicine, and my bachelors degree in English literature from Columbia University. I have previously worked in rural community clinics, urgent care centers, and private clinics in California and Beijing. My main interests are adult primary care and chronic disease management, pediatric primary care, and diabetes. I have a Postbaccalaureate Diploma in Public Health from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. When I have a free moment, I like to work on <a href="https://500px.com/richardsaintcyr/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">my fine art photography</a>.</p> <p>Please send me feedback!

Also, all the information here is certainly approved by me but should not replace actual doctor visits or the invaluable benefits you get from developing one-on-one relationships with a doctor.</p> <p><strong>My Advertising Policy</strong></p> <p>I currently use Google Ads on each page for revenue, and also use affiliate links. I have had paid sponsors in the past but not at the moment. I always have complete editorial control over my posts, and none of my recommendations are due to advertising arrangements — all endorsements, criticisms and reviews are genuine.</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks for your support,<br /> Richard Saint Cyr MD DABFP<br /> Family medicine physician, Swedish Bainbridge Island Primary Care Clinic.</p> <div class='sharedaddy sd-block sd-like jetpack-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-post-wrapper-11794202-6419-6744dce92a5cd' data-src='https://widgets.wp.com/likes/?ver=14.0#blog_id=11794202&post_id=6419&origin=www.myhealthbeijing.com&obj_id=11794202-6419-6744dce92a5cd&n=1' data-name='like-post-frame-11794202-6419-6744dce92a5cd' data-title='Like or Reblog'><h3 class="sd-title">Like this:</h3><div class='likes-widget-placeholder post-likes-widget-placeholder' style='height: 55px;'><span class='button'><span>Like</span></span> <span class="loading">Loading...</span></div><span class='sd-text-color'></span><a class='sd-link-color'></a></div> </div> </article> <div id="comments" class="comments-area"> <h2 class="comments-title"> One thought on “About” </h2> <ol class="comment-list"> <li id="comment-47603" class="pingback even thread-even depth-1"> <div class="comment-body"> Pingback: <a href="https://theviscos.wordpress.com/2017/08/08/bad-air/" class="url" rel="ugc external nofollow">Bad air | The Viscos</a> </div> </li> </ol> <p class="no-comments">Comments are closed.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div id="content-sidebar" class="content-sidebar widget-area" role="complementary"> <aside id="block-6" class="widget widget_block"> <figure data-od-added-id id="embed-optimizer-e0b3078ef4661c8e63c3a7cac6b0726d" class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div data-od-xpath="/*[1][self::HTML]/*[2][self::BODY]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[3][self::DIV]/*[1][self::DIV]/*[2][self::DIV]/*[1][self::ASIDE]/*[1][self::FIGURE]/*[1][self::DIV]" class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe loading="lazy" title="My TEDx Talk: Living Healthy in China?
