My Mission

The mission of my practice is to assist patients, of all ages, in the prevention and treatment of illness and disease by providing personalized and comprehensive health care; to always work towards cure and optimal health with every patient.

My Philosophy

Family Medicine... Disease prevention is achieved by creating a strong inner environment (body, mind and spirit). In other words, if the body is in a true state of health illness cannot take hold. Creating this protective environment requires optimal nutrition, a balanced emotional life as well as keeping the “routes of elimination” open so that the body can rid itself of potential disease-causing toxins. Illness and disease can be prevented by boosting the body’s natural defenses. This is achieved by making choices that create and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Women’s Health (Menopause / PMS / Annual Exams/ Infertility)... Most health concerns that women face today must be addressed from a multi-level perspective. A conventional diagnosis is often important but the treatment of these concerns must be approached from a holistic perspective. All disease stems from an imbalance of the body therefore treatments must address all levels of health (physical, emotional, mental & spiritual).

Chronic Disease... Many people suffering of chronic disease find themselves depressed, frustrated and often in severe pain. Unfortunately, conventional treatment does not address the cause of the disease but only the symptoms. Symptoms are not the problem but are only the body’s way of telling us that something is wrong or out of balance. The problem resides in the initial cause of the disease. To treat only a symptom is ignoring the body’s powerful message and, in essence, ignoring the real problem.

Cancer... Cancer has become an epidemic. While it seems that every day we learn of something new that causes cancer, I believe there are many ways to prevent and treat it. Cancer is not only a physical disease but one that is centered in all aspects of a person (physical, emotional, mental & spiritual). Treatment must then focus on all of these perspectives. I use a variety of modalities to address the whole person.
