Dr. Yen Chou was born in Taipei, Taiwan.  She spent the first 12 years of her life in Taiwan until her family decided to immigrate to Torrance in Southern California.  For her undergraduate years she studied Biology at the University of California, Santa Cruz.  From there she continued her studies at College of Veterinary Medicine at Western University of Health Science and graduated in May of 2009.  Dr. Yen has a special interest in internal medicine, dentistry, acupuncture, Chinese food therapy, and herbal medicine.  She attended acupuncture and Chinese food therapy training at the Chi Institute in December of 2008 and May of 2009, respectively.  Dr. Yen is currently working towards a Masters Degree in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) through Chi Institute and China Southwest University, which will require her to be certified in Chinese herbology, food therapy, acupuncture, and tui-na, a Chinese medical massage and manipulation technique. 

In 2010, Dr. Yen was invited to join the Atrium family which she gladly accepted.  She subsequently moved from Southern California to Charlotte.  She is currently a member of American Veterinary Medical Association, American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association, and North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association.   Her hobbies include cooking, hiking, listening to music, and watching movies.  On warm sunny afternoons she enjoys napping with her two domestic short hair (DSH) cats, Ninja and Shadow.
