From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

Your story, with symptoms that have no medical explanation, is exactly what this practice revolves around.

If it doesn't feel like your current health care needs are being met and you know there is something wrong, listen to your body. There are often better answers found in Functional Medicine than taking prescription medications for symptoms.

As a patient in this practice you should expect to find answers to why you are not well, once we have identified the "Why" you should fully expect a sequential map to walking toward resolution. This practice is based on open communication, respect and helping to resolve your health related concerns as a team.
