Elaine Spidle, DAOM

She/Her

Dr. Elaine Spidle has been practicing integrative medicine since 2000 in Pacific Beach, San Diego. Her career in healthcare started as a pre-veterinary student at UCSD while working as a emergency and orthopedic veterinary technician. A drastic shift in life led her down the path of alternative medicine. She took over a small massage therapy business in Pacific Beach in 2000 and added Chinese medicine as an LAc into her practice in 2008.  In her private practice, she prides herself on being an attentive and skilled general practitioner with special interests in menopausal related issues and sexual dysfunction. In May 2023, she took on a supervising position with the PCHS clinic and recently joined the Clinical Quality Assurance Committee (CQAC) at PCHS. Her other full time job is raising two teenagers.
