About
Dr. Paul Yang built Autobiography Health on a foundation shaped by both personal and professional experience. Growing up in an Asian household, he learned early that daily habits of nutrition, movement, and care form the bedrock of good health. He competed in high school basketball and collegiate soccer before a knee injury redirected his path toward medicine and long-term recovery.
He earned his medical degree from Loma Linda University School of Medicine in 2016. His PM&R residency concluded in 2020, and he served as Chief Resident during his final year. That role sharpened his skills in leadership, patient advocacy, and collaborative care. His clinical career spanned hospital inpatient rehabilitation, post-acute care facilities, and private outpatient clinics. In 2021, following the birth of his daughter, Dr. Yang envisioned a more refined model of care. He launched Autobiography Health in 2022 to deliver that vision. Today, he specializes in musculoskeletal disorders, regenerative medicine, neurological rehabilitation, sports injuries, chronic pain, and pre- and post-surgical care. He integrates PRP, shockwave therapy, stem cell-based therapies, prolotherapy, adipose-derived cell therapy, and BMAC therapy into individualized treatment plans. His expertise also extends to lifestyle and longevity optimization for patients focused on long-term function and wellness.
