What is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative Medicine is the practice of medicine that combines conventional care with complementary treatments.  Complementary treatments can include nutritional supplements, herbals, and treatments from the ancient healing systems of China or India.  An integrative medicine physician has "more tools in their tool belt" with which to be of service.  Health is defined as the attainment of optimal wellness, not just "absence of disease".  Patients are respected as unique, biochemically and psychologically distinct individuals, and are NOT characterized by their disease state.

Media Disclaimer

Dear Prospective Patient:
Many excellent physicians never receive formal public acknowledgement or "fame" for all of the patients they have helped.

Conversely, a psychiatrist who is "famous" or has a large media following may or may not be a good clinician.

We are aware that superficial appearances may not mirror REALITY.  Nonetheless, we humbly include the above links for those patients who for whatever reason are unclear where to get help.
