Integrative Medicine Doctor

You are the doctor who treats the whole person, blending conventional medicine with evidence-based complementary approaches. As an integrative medicine physician, you combine standard medical care with tools like nutrition, stress management, mind-body practices, and, when appropriate, therapies such as acupuncture. Day to day, you spend longer with patients than a typical rushed visit allows, exploring their lifestyle, sleep, diet, and stress, and building a plan that addresses root causes and prevention, not just symptoms. You work to coordinate all of a patient's care so that conventional and complementary treatments work together safely.
