Developing a Medical Partnership

We understand the value of listening closely to our patients, which has helped earn us the community vote for best doctors in Durango. Getting to know you and sharing in your healthcare concerns is important to us. This is why we have created an atmosphere that is suited for collaboration. As your primary doctor and care providers, we’ll build a relationship with you through regular and preventative check-ups. We take a holistic approach to your care, which is characterized by treating the whole person, taking in to account mental and social factors rather than focusing only on the physical symptoms of a disease.

Supporting Evidence-Based Alternatives

At Cottonwood Holistic Family Health, we support evidence-based alternatives in healthcare. This means we’ll handle your traditional medical needs as well as manage complementary treatments such as herbal remedies, acupuncture, homeopathy, functional medicine and more. Having a primary care provider who can understand and evaluate a variety of approaches to wellness helps guarantee the best outcomes for our patients. We also work closely with other practitioners and physicians to coordinate a comprehensive wellness plan.

Practicing Holistic Medicine

Our experience in medicine has shown us that numerous factors affect an individual’s health, which is why we practice holistic medicine. It starts with an understanding of a patient’s story: their physical and mental concerns, their healthy lifestyle activities and barriers to healthy habits, where they are in their life cycle, plus what makes up their traditions and beliefs. We then provide an in-depth physical examination joined with appropriate diagnostic testing. With this information we can give recommendations and choices for our patients, often providing many different options on diet, exercise and remedies that work within a patient’s time, resources and preferences.
