Long Beach, CA 90803
As a Naturopathic Doctor, I treat the whole person. A visit with me involves looking for the root cause of illness and addressing that, not just doing symptom relief. I enjoy spending time with my patients to help them really understand what's happening in their body. Western medicine has a "one size fits all" mentality, but we know that each person has different needs and doesn't always fit in the box.
