Optimal Health Physicians is a unique Integrative Internal Medicine practice helping people with a wide range of health concerns; from maintaining optimal levels of health and wellness, to dealing with long-term, complex and often confounding conditions that have not been diagnosed or adequately treated.
We practice internal and osteopathic medicine for adults and adolesents. We believe in treating the whole person and support our patients' exploring and untilizing alternative approaches to healing. We do not, however, offer alternative medical or mental health services.
OHP is founded on more than 35 years of practice in internal medicine treating individuals with a broad range of health concerns, from relatively straight-forward acute illnesses, to those that are chronic and can become debilitating. We have always taken an open-minded approach to understanding and treating the whole person. Although OHP is not a primary care practice, we believe in close collaboration with our patients' primary care doctors, specialists and other health care providers.
Dr. Norton Fishman incorporates leading-edge diagnostic testing and the full range of medical treatments with a more traditional focus on the building the body's natural defenses through nutrition and support of the immune system. He supports choices made by many of our patients to incorporate healing and wellness practices such as acupuncture and meditation into their lives.
