Information for Patients
From the practitioner: About My Practice
I am a semi-retired Family Medicine doctor and acupuncturist with an interest in providing people with an understanding of functional medicine and a way to incorporate it into their daily routine. After being IFM Certified for 8 years, I see that the core to healing is lifestyle changes with judicious use of testing, supplements and medications
From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect
You should expect that we will have a relationship that is based on mutual respect and partnership
