A holistic approach to healthcare has been my philosophy since I first started my practice in 1991.  I've always believed in the human potential that the body can heal itself with the right mindset of the individual and the proper guidance of the physician.  I am often asked what distinguishes me from other physicians.  First and foremost, I take the time to listen to the person.  I get to know that person for who they really are rather than diagnosing them based on a symptom in the first five minutes of their history.  Once I feel as though I have a good understanding of that person, I proceed to do an in depth evaluation of their symptomatology thereby getting to the root of their problem.  

     I understand that in dealing with the human body, there are always different choices in treatment. I make it a point to discuss all treatment options with the patient and then suggest my opinion on therapy. All of the therapy in my office is natural and non-toxic allowing the body to heal properly and restore its natural balance.

     An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Prevention of disease is accomplished through education and life style habits which support health.  Establishing and maintaining optimum health and promoting wellness is the primary goal and ultimate mission statement of my practice.  My future vision is to treat healthy individuals that see me for periodic health consultations regarding nutrition and body work.  This vision of course starts out with the attitude of the patient.  I can only guide and assist patients along their healing journey, the rest of the work is up to them.
