As a Family Physician, I have had the privilege of delivering babies, assisting with surgery, resuscitation of those in cardiac arrest, and providing Emergency Services.  My Osteopathic training prepared me to address diseases from a holistic perspective.  

Arresting a disease process, and practicing preventive medicine is much more professionally rewarding than “managing diseases”. The Functional Medicine approach to health care attempts to address the root cause of an illness and treat the whole system, not just the symptoms. Functional medicine practitioners like myself spend time with their patients, listening to their histories and looking at all the factors that might have affected their long-term health. 

One of my favorite phrases is, “Let’s treat the root, not the fruit.”

Our approach at the Plexus Clinic is to consider the symptoms of a disease process in the context of the patient's history and physical findings.  We then attempt to address the underlying cause for the diseased state.  In this way, functional medicine supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual.

We use a multifaceted approach in our attempts to resolve the problem.  Like peeling an onion, we attempt to progressively remove layers of challenges.  Because each person is a unique creation, we develop individualized health plans.
