HistoryMy medical specialty is Dermatology, which I have practiced for over 30 years. I did conventional Dermatology at my office at Central Park West in Manhattan for 14 years and ran a Dermatology clinic in upper Manhattan for 22 years. Patients constantly asked me what food to eat and what vitamins to take to cure or prevent their skin disease and during this time I didn't know how to answer because I was not trained in nutrition but realized that this had to be a major factor. In 1997 I became certified in Clinical Nutritionist and Acupuncture. At that point, I started helping my dermatology patients with detoxification, removing food triggers, balancing hormones, and supplementing with vitamins, enzymes, and omega 3 fatty acids with really good results. In 1999, I opened Tarrytown Functional Medicine so that I could provide a wide range of services to patients, dealing with the total health of each individual and opening up my services to patients with all conditions.SpecialtiesAt Tarrytown Functional Medicine we specialize in Acupuncture, Frequency Specific Microcurrent, Weight Loss, Clinical Nutrition, and Dermatology. We have 2 excellent acupuncturists, Cindi Smith and Ute Hickman. Ute and Cindi do a broad range of acupuncture styles to treat pain resulting from arthritis, Fibromyalgia, sprains and strains, Migraine, tendonitis, and neck and back pain and much more... Frequency Specific Microcurrent is a massage with electric gloves, but you don't feel the electricity. It's a powerful pain treatment. We also do low level laser to treat pain. Our weight loss program helps people to lose up to 2-5 lb/wk. It is a rapid safe health program researched at John's Hopkins. We also provide cutting edge nutritional testing and supplementation to build health and prevent disease.
