The Buddha's Medicine is a practice where we take a different approach to healing - one that addresses the root causes of illness rather managing symptoms alone. And you can be sure that our philosophy extends to our stance on pharmaceuticals and prescriptions.

In our shared modern world, healthcare can often feel impersonal and algorithmic. We dislike that as much as you do.

There is great potential in the integration of Ayurveda with modern medicine. By combining the strengths of both systems, genuine comprehensive care is possible - care that addresses the root causes of disease and promotes long-term health and wellness.

The integration of Ayurveda and modern medicine presents a uniquely comprehensive and effective approach to healthcare. By combining the strengths of both systems, we can provide hyper-personalized, fully holistic care that addresses the body, mind, and spirit, leading to improved health outcomes and enhanced well-being for our patients.

Integrative medicine is at the foundation of medical practice at The Buddha’s Medicine. We combine lifestyle medicine, evidence-based mind/body practices, hands-on manual medicine techniques, supplemental therapies, and custom traditional herbal care with the advancements of modern allopathic understanding.

The rise of chronic lifestyle and environmental disease - and frankly, the complexity of human health - call for a more integrative approach, in my view: an approach that blends the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda with the scientific rigor of key allopathic tools.

I get asked a lot what I think about dosha questionnaires - inventories of questions that are supposed to shed light on a person’s Ayurvedic constitution.

There’s also the practical, training and experience-related side of The Buddha’s Medicine’s history. From a training and experience standpoint, what’s my deal? What do all those letters after my name mean, anyway?

The day that I knew I wanted to pursue a life’s work in medicine was September 11, 2001, the hardest day of my life.
