We are at a turning point in the history of medicine; a new model of integrative medicine is emerging where practitioners from across disciplines are beginning to collaborate in combining therapies through cross referrals and even fully integrated care clinics like The UHC. In this new model of medicine, the inclusion of a range of complementary therapies helps to ensure that patients have a chance to utilize less invasive methods of healing when appropriate.

For the patient who is too narrowly focused on alternative medicine, we encourage a broadening of perspective with referrals to traditional allopathic practitioners when needed. In turn, patients who are too narrowly focused on western allopathic medicine as the "only way" are often referred to us for a range of Chinese medicine and naturopathic approaches.

We would like to welcome you regardless of the type of health care you practice. We believe that we are ultimately all on the same team. One of our goals is to facilitate an atmosphere of open communication, mutual respect and cooperation between the many types of providers in offering the highest quality of care to our respective patients. We hope you enjoy this web site and find it helpful in informing you of how our clinic can complement your care. Please see our referral page to view our network. Should you be interested in becoming a part of our network please contact us to begin the process, or simply send us a patient and you will get a welcome packet.

Chances are we will all benefit from collaboration, especially our patients. Thank you for visiting our site!
