Dr. Corinne M. De Soto
As a family physician, I empower my patients and help them navigate their health through all stages of life. I collaborate with other pediatricians, mental health workers and medical specialists to provide truly holistic medicine. I offer my patients a customized, guided health care system that other doctors do not; a system that includes nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy, craniosacral, IV therapy, labs and imaging plus pharmaceutical medications. I am trained and certified in treatment of Mold Toxin Illness and also work with complex chronic illness. We will work as a team to achieve and maintain your health goals because I am your partner in sickness and in health.
