Miguel Gonzalez, MD, FACP, FCCP - Miguel Gonzalez MD

As a practicing physician in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Diseases and Critical Care Medicine, I realized long ago that the successful treatment of chronic illnesses cannot rely on drugs alone. The only effective way to achieve long lasting, effective results comes from an integrative healing approach including traditional medicine, complementary and holistic therapies, mind-body, clean healthy eating, all natural vitamins, supplements and minerals and the list goes on and on. The unique challenges that each of us face, must be looked at as a whole, not just at each symptom. The big picture needs to be looked at and a unique treatment plan considering all the available therapies should be considered. We have incorporated this philosophy of treating the WHOLE person, with no regard to healthcare system boundaries or beholden to any particular methodology. It is so rewarding for us to be able to partner with those on a journey to renewed vitality and health. It is never too late to begin to change your life! It’s a choice and you just need to make it. You can do it.

From that time until 2005, Dr Gonzalez was also an Intensive Care Specialist at Los Robles Regional Hospital, caring for his patients in the critical care/intensive care units as well as in the general medical/surgical units. In 2005, he decided to reduce his hospital work in an effort to spend more of his time focusing his office practice in the areas of functional, integrative and holistic medicine. His practice currently is aimed at focusing on the whole picture of the patient as it relates to their healthcare and tailoring each patient’s treatment plan based on their particular burdens, such as environmental, hereditary, dietary, lifestyle, physical and mental health.

Dr. Gonzalez has done extensive training and research in all aspects of functional, integrative and holistic medicine such as mind-body medicine, bio-identical hormone therapy, bio-detoxification, chemical and heavy metal toxicity & sensitivity, Lyme disease, IV vitamin therapy and many others.
