Our Practice and Integrative Medicine
Integrative Medicine is the alternative medicine of the future, combining state-of-the-art western medicine with alternative care, including herbal remedies and classical homeopathy. The integral approach to medicine begins with the promotion of wellness, and provides for a wide range of treatment options when illness does occur.
PEDIATRIC Alternatives blends the best of allopathic and alternative medicine in the bay area. With over thirty years of combined experience as board certified pediatricians and over ten years as integrative medical practitioners, Dr. Stacia Lansman, Dr. Lindy Woodard, Dr. Sarabenet Sequeira, and Dr. Hillary Fredrickson offer innovative integrative medical care for children and nutrional counseling based on the principles of The Weston A. Price foundation.
PEDIATRIC Alternatives also offers seminars and workshops in a beautiful environment that supports the health of your child and your family.
As board certified pediatricians, we at PEDIATRIC ALTERNATIVES provide personalized alternative pediatric medicine in the Bay Area, holistic care backed by 30 years of combined pediatric experience. In most cases, we recommend herbal remedies, dietary changes, classical homeopathic remedies as non-invasive treatments for first line therapy, avoiding the use of prescription drugs unless absolutely necessary. So that we can get to know the needs of your family and children and provide the best possible care, we prefer to work with you on an ongoing basis as your primary care physician. However, we are happy to consult with you regarding specific problems or work as a back up to your regular pediatrician introducing you to options in alternative medicine that are not available in standard western medicine.
How do parents promote good health for their children?
Children thrive with a balanced life style, good nutrition and attention to their physical and emotional health. At Pediatric Alternatives we see ourselves as teachers guiding you, the parent, to care for your child in times of health and illness. Our focus is to promote and maintain your child's natural ability to heal.
Why do children become ill?
Illness is a natural part of childhood. When it occurs each situation is evaluated individually using as little intervention as possible. Integrative medicine is appropriate for many conditions.
