I welcome you to Balanced Family Medicine of North County, a  unique, integrative solo Family Medicine practice in San Marcos, CA, where we provide Integrative, Individualized  Healthcare for all ages, from birth to grandparents! Our philosophy is customized holistic health care for each patient,  helping them to optimize wellness (physically, mentally, spiritually) by addressing lifestyle, activity & fitness, diet, optimizing hormone balance, and, when necessary, including  help from supplements, homeopathic remedies, herbology, and prescriptive medications.
   I have great respect for the disciplines of osteopathy,acupuncture, and mind-body medicine. I believe in the power of intention, prayer, & positive thoughts, thriving on involvement & connectedness. As a pragmatic idealist, I'll always be on the side of healing & growth, empowering each patient to active involvement in each of their healthcare decisions. I take the role of partner and educator in that healthcare decision-making process.
    Common problems I see include Hormone issues for men and women, Thyroid problems, Fatigue, Weight Management Issues, Food Allergies/Sensitivities, Sublingual Immuntherapy for Allergy desensitization, as well as the whole range of Traditional Family Practice & routine physicals including routine gynecology services. I also see babies and kids, and while I am not anti-all-vaccines, I don't kick non-vaccinators out of my practice and do not believe in shaming parents, but rather will always seek to maintain open communications in the hopes of calm and informed consent whatever the conscientious decision.
