How I Practice

My philosophical approach to medicine stems from holistic concepts, primarily that "Food is Medicine" and many medical illnesses arise from disconnection of natural-occurring phenomenon.  For patients suffering from prediabetes, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovarian syndrome, fatty liver, insulin resistance, or irritable bowel syndrome, I implement dietary therapies to reverse those conditions.

I also firmly believe in the holistic connection between emotions and physical wellness, primarily the “mind-body connection”. This is reflected in my holistic approach integrating both traditional allopathic medicine like Internal Medicine with other non-traditional modalities. An example of such a holistic approach would be treating refractory depression with a nutritional approach in addition to ketamine assisted psychotherapy.

Given my background as an M.D. who is board-certified, I understands the importance and necessity of guide-lined based therapies. However, I believe medicine, at its core, is an personalized process.  The best medicine is individualized medicine and this takes time, patience and most importantly, a human connection.  I am particularly interested in health optimization for individuals of all ages and demographics and I have a passion for solving medical conundrums.  Whether this involves optimizing your health prior to starting a family/conceiving or addressing a medical ailment that has been persistent and unsolved after seeing many providers, I am committed to meeting your healthcare needs in many ways.
