The goal is not to give you more medications, but to reduce your medications by treating the cause not the symptoms.

An integrative medicine practitioner combines conventional medical treatments with alternative techniques or therapies to maximize the body's natural healing systems.  Each person is unique and requires a customized health plan to suit his or her own body.  People with complicated health issues often see an integrative medical doctor because they believe in the power of the body to heal itself and may also need a physician who can prescribe drugs when needed.  They also come because they have exhaused all the options of traditional medicine.  Integrative M.D.s spend the time with the patient to find the root cause of the problem and treats the whole person using various therapies - natural (alternative medicine, integrative medicine, complementary medicine, and holistic medicine).

At our Wellness Medical Centers in Santa Monica, California, and Kenosha, Wisconsin, we use, in addition to traditional medicine, nutrition, diet, herbs, exercise, lifestyle modification, and counseling.  Instead of giving more medications to our patients, we are able to reduce or to totally eliminate their medications.  This means that our patients are healthier, have less side effects to medication, and are less likely to be hospitalized or go to the emergency room.  This results in a tremendous saving to our patients, insurance companies, and all of us as taxpayers in the cost of medications, hospitalization, and emergency room visits.  Our patients lose weight, stop smoking, eat healthier and are able to lower their cholesterol.   Dr. Alomar integrates alternative and traditional methods to find the best treatment for you.
