Nutritional Therapy

Personalized Nutritional Therapy, a connection with the five goals of empowering all my patients to “be their best doctor,” and “know how to stay healthy.”

We offer individualized treatment plans based on your needs and current nutritional deficiencies. Our goal is to promote health, wellness for the whole person.

TELEHEALTH SERVICES

We are excited to announce that we now offer telehealth services to our patients.  In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are now offering telehealth visits for certain medical conditions. Having a “virtual” visit from the comfort of your home is the best way to provide treatment and keep you safe. Proactive Alternatives will do a consultation via your smartphone or laptop, and bill the visit to your medical insurance, just like a standard in-person visit to our office.

Telehealth visits are available for certain conditions. Please use our contact form and explain the issue you’re experiencing to determine if you are a candidate for this service.
