As my patient, you can expect the following: I will view you and your condition with fresh eyes. This means that I will make few assumptions and listen to your story. I will hold you with unconditional positive regard and healing intention at all times. I will work to inform you of what we are doing, and why, at all times. I expect you to ask me if I forget to provide the information. I will always be respectful of you, and also of your preferences with regard to evaluation methods and my recommendations for you. One of the advantages of holistic and integrated medicine is that we can almost always approach conditions from several angles and at different levels. The results of our approach will usually point toward the cause and the best way to address the condition. I will be honest about the importance of any evaluative or theraputic strategy. If I feel it is dangerous not to go ahead with an evaluation or theraputic strategy, I will tell you. If I do not think that the theraptic strategies I can offer will help you, I will inform you. If I feel that there is another practitioner will provide a more effective service, I will refer you to that practitioner. I will work to chose strategies that provide the most benefit, cause the least harm, and are the most economically efficient for you. I will work to find the cause of your condition. If part of my strategy is to provide symptomatic relief, I will confer with you about that strategy. I will treat you as a whole person and always keep in mind your long-term prevention and wellness. I will work to provide you with all the tools, information, and support you need to succeed at your health and life goals. If I am not sure of what is happening with your condition, I will do whatever research is required to find what is most currently known about your condition and the best way to approach it. I will maintain confidentiality to the extent that is allowed by law.

"After taking Hormone Replacement Therapy for 5 years, my doctor said it was not safe to continue. This brought back all the severe symptoms of menopause (night sweats, flushing, etc.) Since doing the acupuncture and taking herbs my symptoms have greatly decreased. I sleep well at night and my 'hot flashes' have decreased dramatically. I highly recommend this course of treatment to anybody." DL New Paltz
