Our core values are authenticity, compassion and excellence. Our mission is to provide exceptional health and medical service to our patients of all ages.
AIMS is a pioneer in Integrative Medicine and Functional Medicine. We believe in integrating mind-body medicine with conventional medicine. We are comfortable with managing complex patients who seek to find the root cause of their illness using Functional lab testing and are open to alternative treatments.
We see ourselves as consultants for our patients and openly discuss our medical recommendations along with the risks and benefits of treatment. Patients can feel confident that we will closely listen to their concerns and partner with them to create a well-rounded pathway to wellness!

How are we different?
Integrative Medicine is a patient-centered model of medicine where we address the whole person, not just a disease or symptoms. We use both evidence-based Conventional Medicine and Functional Medicine diagnostics to find the root cause of disease by looking at the interactions between genetics, environmental, and lifestyle factors. We offer our patients cutting edge labs in colon health, hormones, cardiac risk, detoxification, allergy and nutrient testing to identify areas of improvement and optimize wellness.
We blend both Western and Eastern Medicine with a focus on nutrition, movement, supplements, stress reduction and mindset to restore balance and bring the mind and body back into alignment.
