What is Integrative Medicine
Integrative medicine is the path to holistic health. It is an amalgamation of conventional medicine with CAM (complementary and alternative medicine). It is tailor-made for an individual's needs. The focus is to treat the whole person, not just the disease.

Whole Person Oriented
Integrative Medicine depends on a partnership between the patient and the doctor, where the goal is to treat the mind, body, and spirit, all at the same time. This involves the doctors and patients working as a team towards better health. Doctors offer help and information to patients and patients decide what's the best strategy for them. The patient is in the driving seat for their care.
