A snapshot of my clinical approach: After more than 15 years of practicing allopathic medicine, I shifted to an integrative approach. My approach integrates a variety of healing modalities. I combine my expertise in allopathic medicine, with Naturopathic and Functional Medicine, and also Life Coaching interventions (S.I. and N.L.P). I am trained and experienced in managing a variety of general health conditions. My special focus is on cardiovascular and metabolic health as a means to optimize aging, and human results.
