Linda Tao, MD, FACC, FACP
Dr. Linda Tao brings over two decades of experience in cardiovascular and internal medicine, blending deep clinical expertise with a functional, whole-person approach. Her care is highly personalized, data-informed, and rooted in genuine connection with her patients.
At The Morrison Center, Dr. Tao combines conventional cardiology with integrative therapies to support long-term outcomes. She draws from advanced diagnostics, regenerative therapies, and functional medicine to co-create care plans that evolve with each patient’s needs.
Dr. Tao is double-board certified in Cardiovascular Diseases and Internal Medicine. She received her medical degree from the University of California, San Francisco and completed her training at NYU Langone and Bellevue Hospital Medical Centers. She currently serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor at NYU Langone, where she pioneered the first curriculum on integrative and functional medicine for medical students.
As an investigator for the NIH- and NHLBI-sponsored TACT 2 trial, Dr. Tao explores how removing heavy metals may impact cardiovascular disease. She is also trained in Autonomic Response Testing, intravenous therapies, and European injection techniques.
She is a Lyme-literate practitioner and member of ILADS, with additional expertise in metabolic and nutritional medicine. Fluent in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and medical Spanish, Dr. Tao treats a diverse global patient base with a profound respect for cultural nuance and collaborative care.

My path in medicine began with a desire to explore the full picture of health. Over the years, I’ve found that the most powerful care integrates evidence, empathy, and individualization. I joined The Morrison Center to be part of a team that practices medicine the way I believe it should be — curious, precise, and deeply patient-centered.
Spending time in nature, enjoying classical music, ballet and practicing mindfulness. I also find meaning in sharing stories across cultures and generations — they remind me why I chose medicine in the first place.
