Denise Punger MD FAAFP IBCLC
Going Beyond the Standard-of-Care
Denise Punger MD IBCLC is a family physician who has very specialized interests and skills. Although she continues to do 'regular' family medicine: school physicals, routine checks, and treat common infections, new patients come to her because of her unique gift and love for breastfeeding medicine, minimally-invasive well-baby care, appreciation for birth plans, attachment-parenting philosophy, and selective vaccination schedules. She has been evaluating newborns with tongue-tie and preforming office frenotomies for over 15 years to preserve the nursing relationship. She supports prevention through nutrition, respects food sensitivities, and understands how hormone balance influence mood and overall well-being in the adult. She's been prescribing bio-identicals over 8 years. She is the author of Permission to Mother and she has a strong online presence. Patients travel, e-mail, and call for consults from all over. She has been recently added to the LLLI Health Advisory Board.
