Effective Care

Functional medicine uses a multimodality of care that is effective and decreases 
 long-term physiological and financial costs to the patient. 

Dr. Danielle Douglas, MD Headshot

To my patients,

Medicine has been an integral part of my life for more than 27 years. As an Emergency Medicine Physician, I can definitively say that the COVID-19 pandemic will necessitate a reinvention of medicine. 

If we are to have lasting effects on our well-being, we must take into account genetics, environmental exposure to toxins, and lifestyle aspects that have a direct influence on health. This approach has helped me, personally, stay healthy and energized to fulfill my other roles as a wife and mother to three children.

Yours in service and health,
Dr. Danielle Douglas MD, IFMCP
