Family Medicine

Addiction Medicine

As part of our Family Medicine offerings, we house a world-class team of physicians, behavioral scientists, psychologists, and clinical researchers who are specially-trained in dependency treatment, and who work together in a primary care practice dedicated to addressing pain, opioid dependency, and other substance use.

We strive to provide our patients with coordinated, evidence-based medicine-assisted treatments (MAT), and behavioral support to help them reclaim a functional life at home, at work or school, and in the community. We engage in scholarship and research to develop and hone approaches, therapies, and techniques that are grounded in the most advanced science, informed by the latest research, and supported by real-world clinical findings.

All of our physicians are Board Certified in Addiction Medicine and completed additional fellowship training in Addiction Medicine.
