Information for Patients

From the practitioner: About My Practice

I see patients of all ages with a passion for finding root causes of disease. After personal health struggles left me with more questions than answers in the traditional healthcare setting, I made it my mission to find the underlying causes utilizing my body's amazing ability to heal. While I prescribe pharmaceuticals when appropriate, I do not use these to cover up symptoms. I take pride in teaching patients and families how to heal themselves, while guiding them in this process. I see patients with all chronic diseases and chronic symptoms. I do not take insurance but do offer Direct Primary Care Packages to help those with high deductible plans. Those with insurance are encouraged to submit a claim to their insurance for reimbursement.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

I believe in getting people to a truly healthy state. I encourage all patients to come with an open mind and willingness to obtain health and wellness. Finding the root causes of disease is not typically a quick fix. There is not a magical pill that will fix the root cause. I ask for patience, motivation, and willingness to allow guidance on this path to health.
