Why Functional Medicine?
Our founder, Dr. John Zwetchkenbaum, has spent over 25 years treating asthma and allergies. His mission has always been to “treat the cause, defeat the symptoms.”
A clinical instructor at Brown University Medical School, Dr. Z has always been interested in learning more about innovations in medicine. When he came across functional medicine, he knew it was the key to helping patients realize total health.
"I’ve always looked for the root causes of my patients’ problems. More and more, we’re discovering that allergies, respiratory symptoms, rashes, GI symptoms, food allergies/sensitivities, and constant fatigue are related to inflammation in our gut--our microbiome.
Through Functional Medicine, we can treat the whole patient, offering integrated solutions to promote better health."
Dr. Z and his dedicated professional staff at Allergy & Asthma Physicians can help you achieve your wellness goals.
