Information for Patients

From the practitioner: About My Practice

I am an IFMCP certified physician and additionally double board certified in Integrative Medicine and Internal Medicine. I completed a two year post doctoral fellowship in Integrative medicine from the Arizona center for Integrative Medicine under the mentor ship of Dr. Andrew Weil.
At My Pure MD, I have combined my years of clinical experience as an Internist with advanced diagnostic tests from functional medicine that help me get to the root cause of the illness. I have also incorporated my in depth knowledge of Integrative medicine, genetics, herbal medicine, Integrative nutrition and mind body techniques to create the most comprehensive approach that medicine has to offer today.
