Hi. I'm Dr. Dan.

I wasn’t always a doctor. For years, I was a stressed-out corporate manager. I felt like I had it under control. I thought that I ate healthy. I exercised regularly. Yet somehow I was 30lbs underweight and had belly fat. I only slept 4 hours a night. I was pale with dark circles under my eyes. My allergies would put me on the couch all day. My sex drive was in the tank. And looking back, I was constantly irritable and moody. I was managing as best as I could, but I wasn’t really living.

I also had a burning gut I tried to ignore for 3 years. Doctors could never give me a straight answer about the cause of my symptoms – only prescriptions and specialist referrals. So, like many, I tried to figure it all out myself: fad diets, wellness books, new guru-approved supplements off the internet, and even seeing a shrink. Nothing made a dent. In fact, my stomach just got worse.

Finally, a friend suggested I see a naturopathic physician. This amazing doctor spent a lot of time with me, she listened and really cared about getting me well. She suspected Celiac disease, an allergy to wheat. After a gold standard diagnosis and a treatment plan with healing botanicals, supplements, diet and lifestyle modification, I felt like myself again – actually, I felt better than ever! It seemed so easy. And that kind of pissed me off! Where had doctors like this been this whole time? Why didn’t I know about them?

And that’s when it all changed. I was contemplating a new career and started to talk with naturopathic doctors about their journeys: many were similar to mine. Ultimately, they were inspired by the medicine and what a big difference its high level of care could make for people. So I made the huge leap of leaving my stressful job for medical school.

Now, it's an honor to help people every day, it's a true passion. I've been in the patient's seat and I have extraordinary empathy for how confusing, frustrating and scary it can be. I am committed to genuinely listening to my patients and their concerns while guiding them through the core naturopathic principles:

I genuinely want you to be well. I want to teach you that outstanding health is closely within your grasp. I’m committed to creating a ‘prevention revolution’ that eliminates the sick care model that bankrupts families and the health of our country.

For some patients, we make minor adjustments. For others, we set about for a major change. Either way, it’s a loyal partnership and we’re on the health journey together.
