Resources
In our practice, we strive to educate and empower our patient community. We are continuously reviewing the latest information available on topics of health, medicine and healing. Whenever relevant, we make this information available to our clients. Your provider may refer you to our patient handouts. Handouts and supplements are intended for use only at the discretion and recommendation of your provider. We have partnerships with several supplement manufacturers, allowing us to offer you the ability to order supplements at a discounted rate.
Our Educational Resources page offers a comprehensive list of research and writing on topics that commonly arise in our practice. We encourage you to use this information to educate yourself and use it in discussion with your provider.
