From the practitioner: About My Practice

Located in Central PA, I am associated with the Turnpaugh Health and Wellness Center. I practice functional medicine for people ages 18 and over. The Center itself offers multiple modalities for care including chiropractic, massage, behavioral health, hyperbaric treatment and supplements as indicated. Phone consultations are an option after an initial in-person visit. Onsite phlebotomy service is also available.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

After 30 years experience in traditional medicine, I transitioned the type of care I provide to a functional approach. Patients can expect an in depth assessment of recent or longstanding medical conditions and symptoms. My background and experience in specialty and subspecialty medicine enables me to evaluate your case from a medical standpoint while applying a functional perspective for further investigation and treatment. I believe that patient education is a primary tool for a successful therapeutic outcome. I am willing to co-manage your conditions alongside traditional practitioners if you desire.
I look forward to working with you to achieve your optimal state of health and wellness.
