Results Based Medicine:
After years of seeing frustrated patients with mediocre results, Dr. Eric Dorninger revolutionized his practice of medicine by shifting away from "band-aid" treatments, whether natural or conventional, that cover up symptoms. Instead, he created a practice that focuses on a thorough initial lab evaluation in order to formulate a sincere diagnosis of the deeper underlying problems. By figuring out WHY someone;s problems are occurring, he is able to structure a specific care plan that addresses the underlying causes of disease. With a thorough evaluation of biochemistry and physiology, the path to healing is clear and efficient.
Our Approach to Diagnosis:
Dr. Eric Dorninger believes too many doctors give recommendations before understanding why the symptoms are happening. He obtains a thorough understanding of each patient's individual biochemistry through an extensive lab evaluation. Each test is meant to evaluate a specific physiological function. When essential physiological functions are corrupt, symptoms and disease have the opportunity to grow. If you formulate care plans that address these individual physiological dysfunctions, disease can not take root.
Our Specialties:
Dr. Eric Dorninger works predominately with chronic disease. Chronic disease is when a person suffers a symptom or myriad of symptoms that are not resolving. He specializes in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and cardiovascular disease. He is well versed in natural approaches to diabetes, fatigue, mood disorders, headaches, and other pain syndromes.
