I feel she is well educated and knowledgeable on many levels, clearly those related to my healing goals. Dr. Wood is in alignment with my goals, understanding that I respect prescription medication when necessary and that I also respect alternative supplements and life-style options and nutrition guidance. (I've had many "allergic" reactions, including hives to many prescriptions over the years.)

Dr Wood is both friendly and professional. She took plenty of time with me to discuss my situation, make sure my health history was accurately recorded in my chart, and answer my questions. I love that she uses an integrative medicine approach and that the emphasis in our discussion was on "whole person" care - lifestyle and nutrition approaches to achieving my health goals and always considering pharmaceuticals as a last resort when holistic approaches don't work. I wish all medicine was practiced this way.
