 I
am a native of New Jersey, graduated with honors from Southern
California College of Chiropractic in 1991, and previously maintained
a private practice in the San Francisco Bay Area for 1 2 years. My
practice specializes in gentle chiropractic techniques, energy
medicine, and nutritional therapy. I am a licensed
chiropractor in the State of California, a certified Bio Cranial
practitioner, and a clinical nutritionist. As clinic director
for Well Fit Center, my mission is to provide the people in the
surrounding communities with safe and natural solutions for many
of today’s health challenges.
After almost a decade of practicing chiropractic and providing
symptom-relief for my patients, I began to experience some health
problems of my own, chronic bronchitis and torticollis, a condition
involving neck pain, stiffness, and inability to turn the neck. It
was quite obvious my health problems were not just a chiropractic
issue.
With the help of nutritionists and my own research, I began a program
of detoxification and nutritional supplementation. It seemed that
my health issues stemmed from food allergies, toxins, and dietary
habits. After my program, I regained my health, and as a
result, had my eyes opened to the idea that my patients were suffering
with similar problems. I realized I needed to offer more
than just chiropractic care. I needed to offer a total
health program. Subsequently, I immersed myself in over 1,000
hours of graduate courses in health, nutrition, and natural healing.
The approach I prefer is a partnership with my patients, to not
only provide lifestyle and nutritional recommendations, but through
advanced diagnostic technology, help them see for themselves objectively
what their true health condition may be. Then, I provide
immediate symptom relief, the tools, and information which allow
them to make better decisions about nutrition, dietary habits,
posture and more.
My goal is to get my patients on their feet and out the door as
soon as possible. With this model, I have succeeded in helping
hundreds of patients regain the healthy, vibrant lives they deserve. These
patients have told me I not only provide the highest service, but
they feel comfortable recommending Well Fit Center to their family
and friends.
With today’s emphasis on prevention and non-medical intervention,
I am actually grateful that I had the health issues that lead me
to learning about natural health alternatives, enabling me to help
myself and hundreds of patients over the years.
It saddens me to see so many people suffering and “in the dark”
about their pain and health problems, when I am aware that there
are natural solutions to their problems that do not require drugs. I
want to reach out and help them, and I want to also help you.
