    DOCTOR OF NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE

    David was born and raised in South Orange County. Upon graduating from high school, David joined the Marine Corps when he was just 17.  After receiving an honorable discharge, David earned his Bachelors degree in Exercise Science and Health Promotion from the Florida Atlantic University. Later, David obtained his Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University and is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor (ND) in the state of California. In addition, David completed a residency in Internal Medicine here Newport Beach where he learned how to diagnose and treat various diseases and illnesses through a more traditional medical approach.

    As a result of his blended medical training, David is uniquely skilled in providing patients a truly holistic therapeutic approach that seeks to identify the root cause of a disease, rather than to treat the symptoms.
