Integrative Pediatrics program director Greg Brown, MD & Sharon O'Niel, NP offers conventional medicine in addition to evidence-based complementary therapies to facilitate the natural healing process in children and teens.
Integrative medicine’s natural and comprehensive approach can help young people feel better, perform better and thrive at their fullest potential. An integrative approach acts to enhance conventional pediatric care. Integrative medicine "integrates" conventional medicine with those complementary therapies for which there is high-quality scientific evidence of safety and effectiveness.

Using a whole-child approach, Dr. Brown also works with families to optimize overall health for children and teens and minimize the risk factors for future health problems.
