From the practitioner: About My Practice
My philosophy is that we are fundamentally designed to heal and it is my job is to work with you using an expanded set of tools to figure out how to get you well and keep you well. I have been board certified in Internal Medicine, Integrative Medicine and have been practicing functional medicine for many years- this experience has taught me that healing is a very individual thing.
From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect
In our time together, we will cover your entire health biography so that I can help you connect the dots and discover the roots of your issues. Together, we make a plan that paves the way for optimizing your health. Sometimes this is a perfectly direct route. Other times, we have to chip away. I am pretty relentless in my willingness to keep thinking through your health with you.
