We will be able to see what I can offer you and how I can help you, if I am able to address your needs. I treat a wide array of health conditions, from primary care concerns and physical ailments to complex chronic illness and anti-aging and aesthetics.
Initial 60 Minute Comprehensive Visit
In order to get to know you fully, this 60 minute visit ensures I get a complete and thorough picture of your health history. We will talk in depth about your health care goals and your current health concerns. The visit will include a lab review (if applicable), complete physical exam, and if indicated, a blood draw for additional lab testing. At the end of the visit, you will be able to take home an initial treatment plan that is best suited for you.

SPECIALIZED THERAPEUTIC SERVICES
PRP Facial Rejuvenation
PRP facials utilize a combination of platelet rich plasma and microneedling to induce your body’s healing cascade, which will eventually induce collagen and elastin formation, to reduce wrinkles, decrease hyperpigmentation, and even out skin tone. The facial injections also utilize the PRP to induce collagen and elastin formation in targeted spots, such as deep wrinkles, under-eye dark circles and bags, and lips. Results best seen over time and with an initial series of treatments, then maintenance treatments.
PRP Hair Microneedling Restoration
Do you find yourself constantly putting on hats, shaving your head, or putting your hair up to hide your hair loss? Is hair loss decreasing your self-confidence? PRP can help! It can be used to stimulate hair follicles to achieve hair regrowth rather successfully. Book your appointment today! (Note: PRP injections are not indicated for certain types of hair loss. Please call to make sure PRP can help.)
MICTRONUTRIENTS TESTING
Did you know 50% of people taking multivitamins are micronutrient deficient, despite supplementation!
Nutritional balance plays a key role in optimal wellness, chronic disease prevention and managing the aging process.
Micronutrient tests measure the function of 35 nutritional components including vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and amino acids within our white blood cells. Scientific evidence shows us that analyzing the white blood cells gives us the most accurate analysis of a body's deficiencies.
Do you find yourself feeling stressed, tired and maybe a little depressed?
Do you take prescription medicines to alleviate symptoms of certain conditions, but wonder why the condition exists at all?
Do you want to boost your immune system now, to possibly prevent chronic disease later?
