Board-certified family medicine physician Dr. Chia-Lin Charles Liu operates a primary care practice at 2185 Garnet Ave, 92109, serving Pacific Beach families and individuals. Dr. Liu earned his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific at Western University of Health Sciences in 1995, then completed his family medicine residency at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center from 1995 to 1998. With more than 30 years of clinical experience, he is affiliated with Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla and maintains a second office location in the La Jolla area.

Dr. Liu is also a published researcher, with peer-reviewed work on the relationship between sleep apnea and diabetes as well as pneumonia risk factors appearing in journals such as Chest and the Canadian Journal of Diabetes. He speaks both English and Chinese, broadening access for Pacific Beach's multilingual community, and accepts Medicare, Aetna, Humana, Blue Cross, and United Healthcare among other plans. The office is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 1:30 to 4 p.m., with appointments recommended in advance. Office supplies and shipping needs are handled easily at Staples, located a short drive away on Garnet. The practice features wheelchair-accessible entrances, parking, restrooms, and seating, and accepts credit cards, debit cards, and NFC mobile payments.
