Family Medicine

 

Osteopathic family medicine physicians treat the whole patient—body, mind and spirit. Our founder, Andrew Taylor Still, MD, said, “The role of the physician is to find health. Anyone can find disease.” While I can diagnose illness and that can be very helpful, I tend to look for root causes with my patients. Together we have an excellent chance of improving health and wellness. As an osteopathic family doctor, I strive to

​

• listen carefully to my patients

• make a plan of care with them, not just for them

• use standard-of-care medicine

• think outside the box when we need better results, by sometimes

  • prescribing herbaceuticals and nutriceuticals

  • considering changes in current medications

  • using OMM, acupuncture, and movement therapy

  • listening more deeply to my patient
