Primary Care & Family Care

In the past, I worked more as a Specialist taking on complicated cases and using cutting edge technology to help resolve chronic disease. But, in the last 2-3 years, many of my fellow Naturopathic Doctors (ND) have left the Bay Area. The reduction in ND’s in the area has left fewer options for patients looking for Naturopathic Primary Care Services in the Bay Area.

I have enjoyed adding a Primary Care side to my practice. It has allowed me the time to educate patients on how to prevent and treat their symptoms before it turns into chronic disease. Doctors who help patients heal and return to vitality are extremely valuable. But, Doctors, who show patients how to prevent disease, are truly practicing the art of medicine.

My Primary Care visits allow me to form a doctor-patient relationship, reminiscent of family doctors of past generations. This lays the foundation needed for patients to trust my experience at avoiding disease and minimizing any disease process that does form. This foundation also allows me to fully practice Naturopathic Medicine. At its finest, Naturopathic Medicine is a practical and pragmatic way of improving health by restoring vitality and alleviating disease with results-driven therapies.

Many times the most effective therapies are diet alterations, exercise interventions, home therapeutic interventions, in-office treatments or/ and supplementation. This provides patients with alternatives to prescriptive medications and non-critical surgeries. I pride myself on having a significant treatment toolbox that can typically provide a different approach or a different plan to patients. Primary Care allows me the earliest moment possible to provide patients with effective interventions that eases disease. I am always amazed by how a little education allows patients to thrive.

Primary Care has been an exciting and growing part of my practice.
