Pediatric Integrative Medicine
Integrative Medical Center in Scottsdale
"Pediatric Integrative Medicine is the practice of medicine that reaffirms the importance of the relationship between practitioner and child and family, focuses on the whole child, is informed by evidence, and makes use of all appropriate therapeutic approaches, healthcare professionals and disciplines to achieve optimal health and healing."(Adapted from the Consortium of Academic Health Centers for Integrative Medicine, May 2005)
Pediatric Integrative Medicine combines the best of natural and conventional healing in one location. At the Arizona Center for Advanced Medicine, a Scottsdale integrative medical center, we integrate Eastern and Western medicine traditions and improve the health of our children in a holistic way that treats each child and family unit as a unique and valued member.*
We implement the best of modern science and evidence-based medicine by utilizing the most up to date diagnostic tools, protocols, and treatments. At the same time we can learn from ancient and natural traditions that can benefit our children in ways that complement conventional medicine.
