Our mission is to strive to bridge the gap between conventional, complementary and alternative medicines to optimize your health and wellness.
In your first appointment with our doctors, you will be thoroughly evaluated for 60-75 minutes and all follow up visits will be 15-45 minutes with the doctors, depending on complexity.
Our expertly trained practitioners see patients off all ages and genders, for acute and chronic conditions, using integrative and holistic therapies.
