Why Natural Medicine?  Why Dr. Brad? 

Because a longer and healthier life awaits us all, if we are willing to look for it and work for it. 

With so much unnecessary pain and suffering in the world today and much of it caused by the conventional medical model and misconceptions about health, Dr. Brad is a friendly, knowledgeable and uniquely-educated doctor who spends the time with you, helping to uncover hidden causes or issues  which often lead to dramitic improvements.  Through leading-edge lab testing and interpretation, common sense treatment approaches, based on science and nature, feeling better is not a possibility, it is a certainty.

Dr. Brad rejects the prevalent philosophy that doctors need the power to dictate to, or to scare patients.  Rather he believes that the sharing of information is the key to empowerment and freedom.  He envisions a true partnership with not only the patient, but with other professionals.  This includes both his allopathic colleagues, such as cooperating oncologists, endocronologists, etc., and other supporting health professionals, such as acupuncturists, chiropractors, thermographers, message therapists, etc.
