About Me

I began my medical career in a small rural town in the South and have since been recognized as one of the leading physicians in the Detroit area for over three decades. Throughout my journey, I’ve come to deeply value the importance of treating patients holistically—recognizing the unique biological, environmental, and emotional makeup of each individual.

My passion for integrative medicine led me to focus on metabolic health and pursue advanced training through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M). This field opened up exciting opportunities to help patients achieve optimal health by addressing root causes rather than just managing symptoms.

Using advanced diagnostic testing, I’m able to uncover the underlying drivers of health concerns and tailor personalized treatment plans. My approach blends decades of clinical experience with the latest medical knowledge to support each patient’s long-term well-being.

Passion for Healthy Outcomes

I combine conventional medical training with evidence-based alternative therapies to create individualized care plans focused on restoring balance and promoting resilience. I am best known for my expertise in:

• Bio-identical hormone therapy for both men and women

• Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis

• Preconception planning and fertility support

• Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS)

• Gut-brain axis dysfunction (leaky gut and leaky brain)

• Treatment of nasal pathogens, mold exposure, and environmental toxins

• Oral Systemic Health

My mission is to help each patient uncover the root of their symptoms and move confidently toward a healthier, more vibrant life.
