OUR APPROACH
In this day and age it can feel like you are nothing more than a number at your doctors office. The allopathic approach seems to be throw a drug at it and let's see if that works. Our approach is vastly different focusing on your health holistically and naturally. Your body is an interconnected system, each having effects on the other systems. Not only will you see only one doctor at our office, but you will receive the time needed for not only you to tell your story of your health but for Dr. Monica to do due diligence in her consultation and examination. What we aim to achieve with your health is not just a quick fix or a band-aid but rather a lifestyle of optimized neurological function, anti-inflammatory nutrition and reduced stress and toxin intake.
