Holistic Therapists
WE CONSIDER OURSELVES PROBLEM SOLVERS!
CONSULTATIONS:
Our facility is host to a number of Holistic Practitioners, Therapists, Physicians and Compounding Pharmacists.
Your treatment plan may include dietary recommendations, nutritional supplements, lifestyle modification, evaluation of current drug therapy and consultation with your current Physician or Practitioner.
We assess treatment plans holistically, functionally and naturally. The initial stage of therapy includes an evaluation and treatment plan. Follow-up, reevaluation, treatments and patient education are the focal points of the secondary phase. The final stage of therapy involves the patient reclaiming control over their health. We continue to provide assistance and support to all of our patients through the process of becoming aware of their role in maintaining health.
Private consultations are available by appointment. Contact the individual Physician, Pharmacist, Practitioner or Therapist for appointments.
