At this point in my practice, most of my focus is spent on working with patients with chronic illnesses, like cancer. I also work with patients with digestive issues, men's health issues and other health conditions. I utilize an integrated approach, including behavior modification, counseling, botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, vitamin, mineral and enzyme optimization and intravenous (I.V.) therapy. Although I see many patients for fine tuning and health optimization, I also accept the challenge of working with people with very difficult medical issues, especially folks with issues that conventional medicine has very little to offer.

What is herbal medicine?
Herbal medicine is an approach that uses natural remedies, like herbs in various forms, to support healing and wellness. Proponents often emphasize that these natural substances can help restore body function without relying on synthetic medications, which some view as “toxic.” Generally, herbs are used to enhance well-being—such as promoting sleep or boosting the immune system—rather than to treat specific diseases. While many individuals find benefits in herbal medicine, it's important to note that these products typically don’t undergo the same rigorous safety and efficacy testing required for conventional drugs, which should be considered by clients interested in herbal medicine remedies.
