| Location | Holyoke, MA, United States |
| Introduction | I have been a pediatrician for 25 years with a large and diverse group in Holyoke, MA. I specialize in helping my young patients help themselves use mind body techniques like hypnosis, biofeedback and meditation. I see consults from other pediatricians and specialists who send me patients with complex and longstanding chronic headaches, stomachaches and other pain syndromes, as well as tic disorders, bedwetting, other habits problems, and anxiety and sleep problems. I use hypnotic techniques for children getting their vaccines, treating warts, doing procedures… in almost every aspect of my practice. I love my diverse group of patients. I'm sure I've learned more from them than they've learned from me. |
