Integrative medical care means that we consider the full range of physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual and environmental influences that affect a child's health. We create a customized treatment plan for your child utilizing an array of scientific and alternative disciplines.

Well Child Care

We practice whole kid care for children ages 0-22 that includes wellness visits according to the AAP schedule. Routine wellness exams allow us to monitor your child’s growth and development and cultivate a partnership designed to optimize your child’s health within an integrative framework. We take the time to answer any and all questions that you have regarding your child’s well being so that your child grows up healthy and happy.

Well child visits involve:

  • A thorough history and physical examination

  • Updates to the family dynamic or social history

  • Basic developmental screenings

  • Routine or customized immunizations

  • Nutrition counseling

  • One-on-one discussions about sleep, feeding, emotional intelligence, behavioral issues, limit-setting, constipation, eczema and other parental concerns.

Acute and Chronic Illness

We believe in treating the whole person, not just symptoms in isolation. By taking the time to listen and understand our patients’ histories, while acknowledging the complex interaction of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that influence long term health and often underlie chronic illness, we can deliver individually tailored therapies designed to restore health and optimize wellness to your child.

  • ADHD

  • Asthma

  • Autoimmune disease

  • Diabetes

  • Chronic ear infections

  • Constipation

  • Behavioral challenges

  • Depression, anxiety and other mood disorders

  • Eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and other skin conditions

  • Gastrointestinal disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis
