Empower Your Health Journey

Welcome to my comprehensive, integrative, health-focused family practice. Modern medicine has become “Urgent Care” medicine. “A pill for the ill” is conventional medicine’s motto. Healthcare is not just about taking pharmaceuticals! It is about seeking health! As pharmaceutical-driven healthcare has grown, so has the number of complex, chronic diseases such as Diabetes, Heart Disease, Autoimmune Diseases, Obesity, Cancer, Mental Illness and Cognitive Decline. Conventional medical care focuses on a patient’s symptoms, not the root causes of the symptoms. Hormone balancing is important for our bodies and brains to function at their peak potential. Also, studying one’s unique genetics can help determine a precise treatment plan customized to what your body needs. With over 27 years of experience as a Board-Certified Family Physician, I provide comprehensive, personalized, compassionate healthcare that goes far beyond the basic conventional medical care of today.

Traditional medicine manages symptoms with medications, while integrative medicine addresses root causes and focuses on prevention for lasting health.

Our office provides a wide variety of Family Practice services for all ages.

Medical Issues

With compassionate support, I will help you obtain optimal control over your hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, autoimmune illnesses, gut issues, hormonal imbalance, sleep problems and recurrent bladder infections. Do you have suspicious moles or unexplained rashes? Perhaps you are in very good health and just want someone to partner with you to keep you healthy. Annual physicals for males and females along with appropriate diagnostic testing are wonderful tools to maintain our great health.

Are you having issues with back pain, neck pain, migraines or vertigo? Osteopathic manipulation is a wonderful, gentle form of manual medicine that helps the body get back to its proper alignment and corrects the root causes behind chronic painful conditions.

Hormone Replacement

Our bodies change. Hormone balance is essential for optimal health at any age. Talk to us about our hormone replacement options. Maintaining our hormonal health can keep our bodies more youthful!

Maybe you already know your answers to balancing hormones, but you’re tired of taking pills, using creams, or getting frequent injections for your hormone replacement? Subcutaneous pelleting is an effective, safe and proven way to help hormone replacement issues.

‍ My own and my family’s personal health journey left me dissatisfied with conventional medicine’s treatment. This prompted me to dig deeper and research more.

‍ What is genomic testing?

Genomic testing looks at how our genes influence key systems like inflammation, detoxification, brain chemistry, hormones and our gut.

‍ ‍Why is this useful?

Sometimes our bodies do not respond to treatment as expected. Sometimes there are illnesses that run in our family. And sometimes we want more answers why we are ill. Some genes are working perfectly while others need specific assistance to perform better.

‍ ‍Why do patients choose it?

Using cutting edge lab testing helps design a personalized action plan geared for you. You can heal from that chronic illness, or you can prevent that inherited illness from happening to you.

What makes our office different

The first time you walk in our doors, you will see we have a professional, yet relaxed environment. You will not be in a loud, crowded waiting room. We do not see 40-50 patients a day. We focus on quality care not quantity care.
