From the practitioner: About My Practice

I am now living in San Francisco having moved from extended practice in rural Nor Cal where I was obstetrician and functional medicine provider. Now, I can focus just on lifestyle medicine. It is my hope to bring a functional, systems biology approach to the people in the Bay Area where there is more resources. There is an obvious need and desire for this and I face the challenge of delivering this important message to them.
