Information for Patients

From the practitioner: About My Practice

We are a small, personal practice, concerned with establishing a close working relationship with our patients and improving their health using Functional Medicine. Our mission is to provide evaluation of your health status with cutting edge testing modalities and provide you with the education to understand how to improve or maintain your health, therefore empowering you to be the best that you can be and have a healthy quality of life.
I have years of medical experience from ICU to ER to Labor and Delivery to the OR. However, my love is Functional Medicine. I felt like I had found my home when I attended the first AFMCP meeting.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

Patients should be ready to work on improving their heath status using a team approach with a provider with years of experience and a passion for this genre of medicine.
