Dr. Tom's passion for functional health grew out of his personal research in the field of functional medicine and out of his career in emergency medicine (the ER). Working in the emergency department for the past 9 years, he has seen on a daily, first hand basis how preventable, chronic diseases plague our society, and he is motivated to make a difference.
Dr. Tom became passionate about helping people stay healthier for longer, to reduce patient's future visits to the ER in the first place. Dr. Tom trained in Functional Health in order to develop practices for patients to manage or even reverse chronic conditions such as Type II diabetes, fatty liver disease, hyperlipidemia, chronic inflammation/pain, hypertension, and more.
His own prior struggles and subsequent success with weight management and chronic pain make him relatable on an experiential level for many of our patients.
Dr. Tom’s passion is to help people stay healthier, more mobile, stronger, pain-free and stay OUT of the ER as much as possible. Dr. Tom’s dream is to improve his patient’s quality of life and longevity so patients can age better and stay active doing the things they love.
