Physician Assistant (PA)

About Parker Integrative Medicine

We are a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) clinic that practices interdisciplinary medicine as an approach to medical care that combines conventional medicine with CAM practices that have shown through research to be safe and effective. This approach stresses the patient's preferences, and attempts to address the mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of health. CAM care in our office includes but is not limited to: functional medicine (utilizing more comprehensive markers and using sex and age to determine optimal values, not “normal values”), IV and respiratory therapies, joint and muscle injections, nutritional evaluations and consultations, comprehensive and advanced laboratory testing, chiropractic care, ultraviolet blood irradiation, and supplement recommendations. Functional medicine experience/knowledge of therapies offered in office is not required or expected to apply.
