Dr. Russell Canfield, MD

360 Medicine is a total approach to health, healing and personal growth. Biologically, we are complex physical organisms with unique biochemical balances. At the same time, we are emotional, mental, intuitive and spiritual beings living in a challenging, fast-paced culture, and in an often compromised environment.

Rather than just addressing your symptoms, assigning a diagnosis, and then recommending an appropriate drug or surgery, Dr. Canfield examines the underlying causes of the symptoms and their multidimensional triggers. This approach to health care is based on the principle that each individual is biochemically unique, and therefore medical practice should be patient-centered‚ rather than disease-centered.

Few people have gotten well from medications or nutritional supplements alone. Patients need care on all levels of their existence. To truly recover from chronic illness, patients need to address their way of being in the world on a deep level, physically, emotionally, socially and systemically (see the 360 View). Dr. Canfield provides guidance and practical tools to resolve underlying conflicts and imbalances, clearing the way for vitality and health (see Services).

As a highly trained, board certified Family Physician, Dr. Canfield understands the conventional medical model and uses it whenever appropriate. Complementing this approach, he helps patients see beyond both conventional and alternative medicine to a more integrative and wholistic view.
