Integrative Medicine

Hello,

I'm in need of a new internist. Does anyone have any suggestions for an excellent doctor, who has knowledge of or even better also practices alternative medicine? If not a doctor, perhaps an integrative practice?

Many thanks!

I can't give you a lead on this one and to be honest my apprach has always been go the traditional approach first (which is covered by my insurance) and when that doesn't work I go the alternative route and it is never covered by insurance.

If someone comes up with a GP who practices integrative medicine, in the true sense, in Brooklyn ,that takes my insurance I will call them asap and ditch my current GP.

Dr, Elizabeth Schwartzburt at 8th Ave. near Berkely Place is a regular GP who also does some 'alternative' approaches, like acupuncture. Some people like her, others don't -- but she takes lots of insurance.

UA is where Dr Andrew Weil is

I dunno about Brooklyn but I go to http://www.healthandhealingny.org/

At least a couple of the doctors are Dr. Weil trained and I have been treated with both traditional and non-traditional treatments. Depends on what's appropriate.

I'm not going to mention my doctors name. The last time I did that, some mean cranky person accused me of whoring for the pharmaceutical industry.
