Integrative Pediatric Services in Greenwich, CT

My practice focuses on the use of natural medicine, alternative therapies and conventional medicine when appropriate for treatment of common childhood conditions.

Integrative & Conventional Pediatric Medicine - We Bridge the Gap

I embrace each patient by considering all elements of lifestyle including birth history, diet and nutrition, sleep hygiene, environmental exposure, psychosocial factors and genetics. With the rise in mental health issues, my goal is to help your child build a strong foundation for optimal growth and development. I believe utilizing healthy foods, positive lifestyle habits, alternative therapies and natural medicines complimentary with conventional medicine when appropriate are the key habits to optimizing both mind and body.

Can You Manage ADHD, Mood, Behavior, Anxiety and other Mental Health Challenges without the Use of Medication?

Throughout my career, I have been effective at the reduction and avoidance of medication use in the treatment of many conditions including but not limited to colic, ear infections and upper respiratory infections, ADHD as well as constipation (one of the most common pediatric and adult chronic conditions).

In addition, my own son was diagnosed with asthma and ADHD at an early age and he thrived without the use of medication by following an integrative approach.

Philosophy of Hippocrates - All Diseases Begin in the Gut

My belief that all diseases begin in the gut and philosophy of "let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food," follows that of Hippocrates, the father of medicine.
