Located 10 minutes South of Albany New York

We're the area's first health practice to bring together medical doctors practicing conventional medicine with licensed professionals who provide complementary therapies, like acupuncture, naturopathy, therapeutic massage, chinese herbal medicine, nutrition and energy healing. This is what integrative medicine is all about.

Change Your Health… Through Integrative Medicine
Whether the goal is to lessen pain, find an alternative to pharmaceuticals, or improve your quality of life, our integrative medicine approach lets you get the best of both worlds -- conventional medicine, combined with safe and proven complementary therapies. These include:

Our doctors and licensed therapists will be happy to work with your physician to get you on the right track. Doctors at the Center do not take the place of your primary care physician or specialists; rather, they are an additional resource for you and your doctor.

You Talk, We Listen
Our practitioners spend time getting to know you. In fact, you should plan on spending up to 90 minutes with the doctors at your first visit during which you'll review and discuss a customized written health plan developed just for you; and at least a half hour at a follow-up visit. You can visit a doctor, and individual practitioner, or both-it's your choice. Our team of practitioners consult with each other so that you benefit from the skill and knowledge of our entire staff. This is Integrative Medicine at its best.

If you are ready to take charge of your health, please call the Center and make an appointment with an integrative medicine physician and/or our licensed professionals offering acupuncture, naturopathy, therapeutic massage, chinese herbal medicine, nutrition and energy healing.
