The BE WELL Team
LISA BRENT, ND, LAC
While many of us share similar health concerns, there is no single, cookie-cutter approach to optimal health that works for all. My specialty as a Naturopathic Doctor is creating a customized treatment plan, which combines state-of-the-art diagnostic resources with the most effective treatment options from naturopathic and Chinese medicine. As we work together, we will integrate your health on all levels: physical, emotional and spiritual. This comprehensive approach will allow us to see you as a whole person, not just a mixture of separate systems. We will look beyond symptoms of disease and expose the underlying causes that keep you from optimal well-being.
SANGITA PEDRO, ND
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.
MONICA RALSTON, ND
My treatment approach blends modern, evidence based interventions with traditional naturopathic medicine. My clinical practice focuses on comprehensive women’s health, including PMS, preconception, fertility, postpartum care, and menopause. Other areas of interest include gastrointestinal health, mental health, and thyroid disorders.
REBECCA STEINER
I believe everyone’s path to “optimal health” is unique and important, whether it means overcoming a chronic illness or achieving a fitness goal. I work one-on-one with patients and their doctors to determine the best ways to achieve their personal health and fitness goals, and to identify and resolve any impediments to their success.
AMER BUDAYR, MD
I am an internist with training in endocrinology. As a consultant, I take a patient-focused approach and have a broad view of hormones' impact on health and well-being. Drawing on knowledge and experience gained over 30 years of clinical practice, I explore safe, effective, and evidence-based options, partnering with my patients to decide which modality is best for them.
HYON JOO HONG
Through touch and presence, I support individuals in nurturing their body’s innate wisdom, allowing it to unfold and leading to outcomes that resonate far beyond the treatment room. It is a true privilege to hold space where we can orient toward health and healing. an Hyon is an osteopathic manual therapist, holding a Bachelor of Clinical Science and a Master of Osteopathic Medicine.
