About Me.
​Hi, I’m Dr. Catherine Yuen, DMSc, MPH, PA-C, but you can call me Dr. Cat! I’m the founder of The BendyCare Clinic, a fellow zebra, and a firm believer that healthcare should be as unique as the people it serves. Living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), POTS, MCAS, and all the fun surprises that come with them, I know firsthand how frustrating it can be to feel unheard, dismissed, or stuck in a cycle of trial-and-error care. That’s why I created this clinic to offer real support, real solutions, and real understanding for people like us.
​
I’m not just a provider; I’m a patient too. I know what it’s like to scroll through research articles at 2 AM, to carefully plan my day around energy levels, and to celebrate the small wins (like a day with zero joint subluxations!). With a Doctor of Medical Science (DMSc) and a Master’s in Public Health (MPH), I’ve dedicated my career to bridging the gap in care for people with hypermobility and connective tissue disorders, because we deserve better.
​
At The BendyCare Clinic, I mix evidence-based strategies with real-life practicality, ensuring that every patient gets a care plan that actually fits their body and lifestyle. Whether you’re here for guidance, validation, or just someone who truly gets it, you’re in the right place.
​
Oh, and when I’m not helping my fellow Bendies, you can probably find me exploring new foodie spots, sipping on black coffee, or hanging out with my toy poodle, Mochi (who is just as bendy as I am).
​
Let’s work together to help you thrive — not just survive.
