Overview
I am also a strong believer in life after death. Our place in this world, and our mere existence on Earth, is not by chance. We all have a purpose for our existence, and it is important that we spend time daily striving to meet that purpose.I am a big believer in helping the body and mind heal themselves. Illness in general can be looked on as a breakdown of the body's natural balance. I, as a physician can aid you as a patient regain that natural balance that allows your body, mind and spirit to function at their best, no matter what your age. Using this philosophy, along with the power of modern medical science, goes a long way to maximizing our potential.
