The Full Story
About
Brain and Body Health Institute is designed to offer an integrative approach to medical care and evaluation. Our private practice was started by Dr. Van Boven, M.D., D.D.S., with the idea that - in order to treat the brain - the whole body must be treated as well.
"The secret to caring about patients is to care about the patient." - Sir. Frances Peabody,
Mission
A "whole-patient" approach to empower.
We offer extra long consultations to establish an accurate and thorough medical history. Every patient walks out of their appointments with a copy of their care plan written plain English (no technical jargon). known as their "road map," We provide written care plans so each patient and/or caregiver is at the helm of their own health.
