From the practitioner: About My Practice

After working in a fast-paced family medicine office for more than a decade I realized there were a lot of patients I didn't have answers for or couldn't help. I, myself, had Rheumatoid Arthritis and was growing uncomfortable taking the multiple injectable medications I had been on for years. After reading an article about Functional Medicine and implementing it into my life through dietary changes, stress reduction and some supplements I was able to stop taking those medications and am currently in remission. This inspired me to change my career path and pursue Functional Medicine. My goal is to use the Functional Medicine framework and the latest research to find the root cause of your concerns and allow your body to heal.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

You can expect that I will spend the time it takes to dig deep enough to find the underlying cause(s) for your concerns and we will work together to create a plan for healing. I will use specialty functional medicine testing when appropriate and supplements if needed based on those lab results. But mostly I will help guide you to make lifestyle changes that can bring you true and lasting health for the rest of your life.

My practice is completely virtual so anyone in Ohio can see me from the comfort and safety of their own home. I am no longer a primary care physician but work as a consultant alongside your PCP to help reverse chronic illness. I do not take any insurance. Check out my website to read more about my practice.
