About Us
After having spent 18 years in a busy traditional OB/GYN private practice, listening to women complain that "something just isn't right with my body", I realized that mainstream medicine, as good as it is, was not providing the answers to help them. I focused my attention on Anti-aging, Functional, and Regenerative Medicine after learning about many of the tools which could be used to gain a comprehensive understanding of what is going on inside of an individual. I have evolved to embrace a different approach to practicing medicine, a way that takes each person as an individual and helps them to maintain or restore optimum health.

At the Center for Health and Restoration, we're focusing on a more fundamental health practice model. Simply put.. to address the issues that lead to chronic health problems. This sounds simple enough, but then, why hasn't it already been done? Truth is, it's difficult to make a comprehensive assessment via the average 10 minute office visit. By maintaining a smaller patient family, we can greatly increase our focus on the individual. We don't contract with outside parties that could influence the patient's healthcare. This lets us keep the cost of medical care affordable for all our patients.
