Our Practice
Our patients come to us with a broad spectrum of concerns and conditions. Many come because they have not found answers to chronic debilitating conditions characterized by exhaustion, joint and muscle pain, confusion, or deterioration of their familiar functional and productive lives.
Some patients come looking for options and supportive approaches to help deal with cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, diabetic and arthritic conditions, as well as support dealing with cancer.
Some patients come seeking functional wellness and guidance with regard to nutrition and hormone balance.
Over the last several years, an increasingly large number of patients have sought out OHP for treatment of acute and persistent Lyme Disease Complex. Lyme and its related infections caused by insect bites (primarily the Deer Tick in our region) have reached epidemic proportions, and too few medical practices have the experience and can make the time to adequately address these illnesses. Please read the Tick-Borne Diseases pages on this web site for a more detailed discussion of these potentially debilitating conditions.
Optimal Health Physicians' foundational principles are that:
Every patient is unique and must be treated as a whole person.
Our approach to diagnosis and treatment must account for the individuality and complexity of each person.
Healing is a partnership between doctor/practitioner and patient.
A patients preferences and self-awareness play an integral role in achieving optimal health.
The human body has a natural drive towards health.
Wellness can be facilitated by mobilization of the body's capacity for self-healing.
Education and empowerment are key components of our practice.
Our training and experience keep us on the leading edge of medical science and research.
