Information for Patients
From the practitioner: About My Practice
I am a certified Physician Assistant with 13 years of experience in internal medicine and cardiology.
Our mission to understand and treat the root cause of each patient’s symptoms and/or concerns. Multidisciplinary approaches, including western, functional, integrative and homeopathic medicines, as well as acupuncture and bio-magnetic therapy are used in the treatment and prevention of chronic health conditions. A large emphasis is placed on health optimization and disease prevention. We work alongside health coaches to help educate, inform, and support each patient’s unique health requirements and individual wellness goals.
From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect
Prior to the initial visit, clients should complete a detailed intake form, which is reviewed prior to the appointment. The visit will include a detailed medical history and nutritional physical exam, functional testing in the office, body composition test (BIA) and 30 days of clinical support and health coaching.
