NEW! Women's Annual (Preventive Health) Exams
   
Routine gynecological care is essential for all women. Women's preventive health exams are now offered by our female providers in a quiet, comfortable, relaxed environment.

It is important for patients to understand that although Endobiogeny and Biology of Functions have been studied closely and extensively in France, they have not yet been subjected to the requirements of scientific scrutiny according to American medical standards. However, since herbs and supplements are available over-the-counter to all Americans, it is our belief that patients are serving themselves well by undergoing an endobiogenic evaluation to assist them in selecting herb and supplement therapy with the greatest potential benefit and the least potential risk to them as unique individuals.
