What do you attribute your success to?

  • My underlying Faith. The knowledge of this Faith has guided me through the rigorous training, challenges(hidden opportunities) of my professional and personal life. I feel fortunate and honored to be using my talents to positively impact the lives of my family, friends, patients and community.

    It is my mission to help my patients on their journeys to optimal health, happiness and well-being.

    I have a genuine interest in helping my patients reclaim their health. It is a passion for me. I have experienced the challenges of chronic and disabling medical conditions(chronic neurological Lyme Disease, Endometriosis and Immune Deficiency) myself. I feel this has made me more attuned to what my patients face on a daily basis. Although I have been interested in Integrative medicine since medical school, it was these trying conditions that lead me to find solutions for myself and my patients. With the knowledge of my varied training, I feel it has given me the tools to best help my patients. I am getting the best results for them than I did with just doing regular Family Medicine which I still use.
