Roots For Health
Dr. Tom is no longer accepting new massage patients. Please call the office for other massage therapy providers.
Dr. Tom aspires to promote wellness through patient education and prevention so his patients are equally invested in maximizing their well-being. He fosters a supportive environment for patients to learn about the root causes of their illness and empowers them to make informed choices that treat the whole person, not just symptoms. He believes effective healing happens when there is a therapeutic alliance between the patient and the provider that is built on mutual-respect. His goal is to deliver safe, effective, and individualized treatments using a combination of naturopathic modalities and prescription medications when indicated.
As a primary care doctor, Dr. Tom treats both acute and chronic conditions. His clinical interests include digestive health, sleep medicine, mood issues, biofeedback, musculoskeletal pain, acupuncture, and herbal medicine (both Western and traditional Chinese herbs). He received extra training in craniosacral therapy, kinesiotaping, counseling, and NADA 5 needle therapy.
Dr. Tom is a licensed Naturopathic Physician, Acupuncturist, and Massage Therapist in Washington State. He graduated from Bastyr University with a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine and a Master of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. Thereafter, he completed one year of CNME accredited residency at Bastyr Center for Natural Health.
