Boutique Family Medicine is a unique family practice that focuses on improving a person's quality of life through optimizing hormone levels.  As people grow older, they often experience a drop in essential hormones such as testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and cortisol. Inadequate hormone levels can lead to:

• Poor sleep

• Weight gain
  

• Joint pain

• Poor post-exercise recovery

• Decreased energy

• Decreased strength

• Decreased libido

• Decreased focus 

• Depression and anxiety 

All too often patients are placed on sleeping medication, attention deficit disorder drugs, and anti-depressants when the real problem is hormonal inbalance(s).

"I am not a physician that believes medications are never appropriate.  I feel physicians should look at hormone levels and correct any inbalances before considering prescription medications.   My role as a physician is to help educate the patient.  Initial consultations include a detailed history and physical along with a lab review.  We then develop an individualized treatment strategy for all patients."
