In Dr. Lisa's words, "My goal is to help my patients get well by finding a balance in life -- not just physically, but in mind, body and spirit. I look at each patient's medical history, family history, medications, sleep problems, adrenal and other endocrine problems. We do a thorough workup and develop a treatment plan. Sometimes relatively simple changes can radically improve a patient's health!"
