I offer a complete Primary
and Preventive Family Practice approach to medical problems. I strive
to offer the most advanced diagnostic methods and treatment options
available from traditional western medicine, but I also integrate the
use of Complementary/Alternative techniques, when appropriate.
I provide standard medical treatment
for acute illnesses that lend themselves to traditional western
approaches. Chronic illnesses seem to be somewhat better controlled by
a combination of western and non-traditional approaches. I try to
approach each patient as an individual with respect for each person's
unique healing abilities. I believe in a Mind - Body - Spirit
connection to wellness.
Patients
utilize Integrative (Complementary/ Alternative) Therapies most often because they have had a
transformational experience that fundamentally changes the way that they view
the world. Most patients acknowledge the importance of illness within the larger
content of spirituality and life's meaning. Anecdotal evidence from friends and
family provide added motivation to view health and healing as
wholistic and try different therapeutic approaches.
