What do you do?	I provide non pharmaceutical solutions to health problems.
What is your background?	I'm been in private practice in NYC as a Certified Classical Homeopath since 1997. I qualified as a Doctor of Acupuncture in 2003. I'm a graduate of Yale and the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. I've trained in homeopathy at the New York School of Homeopathy (1993-95), the Homeopathic Master Clinician Course (Boston; 1995-97), the Dynamis School of Homeopathy (Toronto; 1997-99), and the New England Homeopathic Academy (Boston; 2007-09). I currently teach homeopathy and belong to the board of the National Council for Homeopathic Certification.
What is homeopathy?	Homeopathy is an instrument. By itself it does nothing, but in the hands of a skilled practitioner it has the power to stimulate self-healing. Homeopathic medicines are nontoxic and made from mineral, botannical or annimal sources. For more information, see my two articles, "Homeoprophylaxis" and "The Power of Homeopathy" (Papers on Health).
What types of problems do you treat?	I've helped people overcome a wide variety of complaints, both chronic and acute. I deal with conditions for which there is no conventional treatment. For a look at some cases from my practice, click on Case Histories.
Do you treat children?	Children are twenty percent of my practice. They respond extremely well to homeopathy, and they love it too!
How does acupuncture fit into your practice?	Acupuncture is another form of immunotherapy. I use acupuncture especially for musculoskeletal problems and symptoms related to stress.
I am currently on meds. Will homeopathy interfere?	Homeopathic medicines work on a completely different level than drugs. No homeopathic/drug interactions have ever been reported in the medical literature.
Should I get the swine flu shot?	Please look at my article, "Homeoprophylaxis: Better than Vaccination?".
What do patients say about you?	Here is a small sample of the unsolicited comments I've received... "[...]my gratitude to you for all of the weekend and late night calls.

"I felt much improved within 24 hours and continue to see improvement daily." RQ, New York. "Your article on vaccination is the best I've read.

Do you take insurance?	No, but my fee is quite reasonable.
