From the practitioner: About My Practice

We believe patients are unique in the way their bodies work all the way down to the cellular level. We believe their uniqueness is also evident in the way they choose to work their bodies, through the decisions they make, the emotions they develop, and the environment in which they live. Our functional medicine approach is patient-centered to support true health. This means we consider spiritual and personal beliefs, attitudes, and motivations along with physical, mental, emotional, and environmental aspects of each patient. This approach does not consider the absence of disease to be the same as optimal health. Our MISSION is to meet your healthcare needs with compassion and skill in the manner of Jesus Christ, the Great Physician.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

Your first visit will be quite extensive, we have the philosophy that in order to care properly for you we need to know where you've been where your at so we can best help you get to where you want to be with your health. We do use the Functional medicine approach and work to address imbalances. After your first visit we will be able to determine which labs would be the most appropriator to start with in our evaluation of your current health status and needs for improvement. We work to help you eliminate or decrease the problems you are experiencing by helping your learn what is occurring to cause them and how to correct them. Please call us and we will be able to answer more of your questions about the services we provide.
