MEET SANGITA PEDRO, ND
I graduated from the National University of Natural Medicine in 2005. While there I had the good fortune to study under Will Taylor, MD. His vast knowledge of medicine and homeopathy inspired me to listen carefully, ask the right questions and treat thoroughly using any and all modalities necessary.
My current practice focus is on complex, chronic illness including autoimmune disease, mold illness, gut dysfunction and Lyme disease. I utilize modern diagnostic tools to help uncover the root cause of illness and employ a variety of modalities to treat that cause including pharmaceutical medications, herbal medicine, nutritional supplements, and homeopathy.
At the heart of my treatment philosophy is Docere – doctor as teacher. I teach patients to listen to their bodies and care for themselves, to use their energy wisely, get good quality sleep, eat healthy food and exercise appropriately. This creates a strong foundation to support and increase the efficacy of all other treatments.
I have personally experienced many of the health conditions I treat, so I understand what it means to be a patient and what it means to have illness take over your life. Through my own healing process, I have learned that there is always another avenue, something else to try, someone new to ask for help. So, if I hit a stuck point with a patient, and they are no longer improving, I research, I ask my colleagues for help and I refer to other practitioners.
My only goal is to help my patients find their way back to health, but I never do it alone. This kind of healthcare requires alliance – doctor and patient; patient and their community; doctor and colleagues – a web of support and communication that is vital to achieving and maintaining a happy, healthy life.
