How long will it take to schedule my first visit?
That depends on the type of visit. Getting acquainted, emergency visits and Live Cell Analysis take about a half hour and are relatively easy to schedule.  First visits normally last 3 to 4 hour and scheduling takes place on the phone that day - right away.  The first appointment may have to made anywhere from 3-6 weeks from the date of schedule.

Do you take health insurance?
Actually I do.  Unfortunately most most disease-oriented insurance companies are reluctant to accept the philosophy of active prevention and regeneration and therefore do not underwrite doctors who teach and practice healthy habits. If you have forms we will help you fill them out. If your carrier is progressive enough to make payments, they are accepted.

What do you mean by clinical physiologist and nutritional biochemist? Aren’t you a doctor?

There are many kinds of doctors.  You probably don’t think of your lawyer as a doctor – but he or she is most likely a Juris Doctore.  I’m not a medical doctor. I do not prescribe pharmaceuticals or perform invasive procedures. As a Doctor of clinical physiology and a Master in nutritional biochemistry I specialize in the normal function of the human body.  Together we design a pathway to health for your unique biochemical patterns. We do our best to find where your body, mind and spirit are most comfortable and then challenge you to go the next level.  You decide where you want to go, how far you want to travel and by what route you’d like to get there.  We will always be here for you.

What’s the difference between holistic and alternative?

The word “alternative” in this context means substitution.  It was coined by courageous medical doctors who pioneered a change from the established route of using pharmaceuticals and surgery as a solution to most medical problems. “Wholism” (now spelled holism – from the Greek “holos”) is a radical departure from alternative.  Working “holistically” means looking at the entire person and finding a path to healing – (as opposed to “curing”).    Healing starts with the will, the opportunity and the follow thru.  Do all three and healing is the result.   We are happiest serving.

What are the office hours?

What kinds of payments do you take?

What airports are close by?
We are flanked by two major international airports and several smaller ones.  In New Jersey we have the Newark International Airport and in Pennsylvania we have the Philadelphia International Airport.  Both are about an hour away from the clinic, depending on the traffic. In addition we are but a stones-throw away from Princeton Airport easily accessible to small aircraft and helicopter.  You may take a train from either airport to the Princeton Junction station.

What train station is close?
We are about 10 minutes away from the Princeton Junction station thru which both the local Metro and the larger Amtrak trains travel.  Taxi services are always available at any time.  There is a small 3 part train called the “Dinghy” which travels the short 3 mile route from the Princeton Junction Station to the Princeton University “station”.  It costs a few dollars but will save you much more in taxi fees.
