What types of conditions do you treat?

Our practice concentrates primarily on women’s health and wellness. We treat the following types of conditions: infertility, PMS, menstrual pain, uterine fibroids, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and endometriosis. We are known throughout the Bay Area for our special expertise in enhancing fertility, and often work collaboratively with Western medical doctors to achieve maximum success rates. We treat both men and women for endocrine disorders, weight loss, obesity, allergies, and musculoskeletal pain. We also offer stress reduction, nutrition, and lifestyle counseling. Once the chief complaint has been effectively resolved, we work with patients on an ongoing basis to support long-term health and well being.
