Integrative holistic medicine embraces conventional and complementary therapies that are based in science. It focuses on the whole person: mind, body, and spirit, with a strong emphasis on the physician-patient partnership. Integrative holistic medicine is based on the following principles:

Health is more than the absence of disease.

A person is more than his/her symptoms, and healing requires a whole person approach.

Empowered patients make long-term and lasting changes that support healing and optimal health.
