About Holistic Integrative Medicine

Using an Integrative Medicine Approach

"I believe in treating chronic conditions without the use of pharmaceuticals". Susan Blum, MD

Integrative Medicine combines the discipline of modern science with the wisdom of ancient healing. In our practice, this means incorporating the best of Western Medicine, and creating a treatment program that also integrates the best of complementary therapies, such as nutrition, Mind-Body Medicine, and acupuncture.

We understand how to integrate conventional and complementary approaches.

We are not judgmental, but rather very accepting of people on pharmaceuticals, and will work toward your goals, whatever they are.

We work with your doctor to Integrate your care.

"Integrative" means we work with your other doctor(s), and if you desire, we can integrate and oversee all of your medical care from different specialists.

These days, people are seeing many different doctors for different parts of their bodies, and no one is taking the opportunity to view the patient as a whole. This is where we are different and why we bring all of the different parties together in an effort to provide the patient with the best over-all holistic care possible.

We integrate all of the information and look for the common underlying imbalance causing the medical issues. We seek to find the root cause connecting the symptoms in your entire body, spanning all specialties and specialists.

Holistic Integrative Medicine: Taking the Time to View the Whole Patient

Holistic Integrative Medicine also seeks to view the patient as a whole, and we include a complete assessment of family life, environment, stress, work life, spiritual life, marriage, social history, in addition to medical history, as part of our evaluation.

During your initial consultation we begin to understand how all these components fit together as a cause for illness, and are addressed as part of a holistic treatment plan for you, the whole person.
