“I entered this area of medicine after I became disenchanted with cookbook medicine that focuses on naming a disease, blaming the disease and taming the disease with drugs and surgery. I found traditional medicine to be very good at treating severe illness, but woefully inadequate when it came to treating people with chronic illnesses.”

“I want to help people thrive and live healthy, vital lives. I want to help people prevent diseases, avoid unnecessary surgeries and achieve real wellness. Integrative Medicine combines the best of Western Medicine with alternative and holistic therapies. I want to help the whole person, not just an illness. And I believe that optimal wellness is much more than the absence of illness. It’s functioning at 100% of your abilities for the rest of your life. I love giving my patients the tools and treatments to achieve that.”
