EastWestMD, also known as East-West Rheumatology, is an in-person medical clinic located in Vienna, Virginia, USA. Its core focus is “rheumatology/immunology + internal medicine + integrative medicine.” Its medical director, Dr. Yousef Zarbalian, has a background in internal medicine and rheumatology, as well as training in acupuncture and herbal medicine. The website clearly states that its content is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical advice.
The clinic primarily serves patients with autoimmune conditions, rheumatologic and immune-related diseases, chronic pain, musculoskeletal issues, metabolic health concerns, chronic fatigue, stress-related problems, and similar conditions. Its treatment model combines conventional Western medical evaluation, immune-related lab testing, prescription medication management, Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, tuina, qigong/meditation, nutrition, and lifestyle interventions. The team also includes licensed acupuncturists and health coaches who provide mind-body regulation, trauma-informed coaching, and lifestyle support for chronic illness.
Pricing is relatively transparent: an initial rheumatology consultation is around $500-700, follow-up visits are $250-500 or billed at $500/hour; an initial acupuncture and mind-body medicine evaluation is $200; an initial health coaching session is $125, with a three-follow-up package at $300; and a 2-month intensive rheumatology program is $1200. Aside from Medicare, the clinic mainly operates on a Direct Pay basis. It can provide patients with superbills to submit to private insurers for out-of-network reimbursement.
The strengths are its specialized positioning, clearly stated physician credentials, longer consultation times, and ability to combine a Western rheumatology/immunology framework with acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle medicine—an appealing model for patients with complex chronic conditions. Pricing, address, phone number, business hours, and booking links are also fairly complete. The downsides are the high out-of-pocket cost, making it less suitable for patients who rely on low-cost care within an insurance network. The effectiveness of integrative therapies varies by individual, so evidence and risks should still be evaluated carefully. The website also contains some repeated content, and certain statistics appear to be placeholders; its professional presentation could be further improved.
It is better suited to patients on the U.S. East Coast, especially in Virginia and nearby areas, who want high-touch, personalized rheumatology and chronic disease management with fewer insurance-related constraints. Chinese users may find it useful as an informational reference, but actual care requires an in-person visit in the United States. The website itself is generally accessible directly from China.
