A hybrid model of medicine

Dr. Marcelo blends the best of every medical discipline to tailor care to each patient.

There is not one best approach or style of medicine for everyone. Genes do not determine health.

A person's health, or lack of it, manifests in slightly different ways. Dr. Marcelo's practice is a hybrid Integrative Medicine model she designed from her own health journey and from more than a decade of working with patients. She combines the best of every medical option as the way forward to provide the finest care.

As an osteopathic physician, I learned the theory of treating the body as a whole, but my medical school and residency training gave me an allopathic toolbox to treat patients.

I quickly learned it was a fantastic approach for acute care, but a band-aid approach to the prevention and treatment of chronic disease. I honor the advancements in orthodox medicine and recognize that some patients may still require a conventional approach to their symptoms. When that is the case, my role is supportive.
