  Thusha Nathan, MD
Gastroenterology/Internal Medicine
Dr. Nathan is a Board-certified Medical Internist (MD), and Gastrointestinal Specialist. Over her many years of practice, Dr. Nathan has treated thousands of patients with multiple medical complaints. Over time, she found that many of these physical disease states were actually manifestations of emotional  stressors. In a rushed and chaotic world, many people turn to toxic habits to alleviate stress, such as overeating, smoking, poor nutrition, and non-compliance to their medications.

This imbalance, when explored further often leads to  depression, anxiety, inter-personal relationship conflict, and premature aging. Most doctors only have time to focus on the symptoms, rather than the cause of the problem. Dr. Nathan believes that it is simply not enough to write a prescription and hope for the best. She realized that for True Healing to occur, a physician must treat the body, but cannot ignore the mind and the root cause of disease... their is a total inter-connectedness that is the foundation of healthy living and disease-free states.

Dr. Nathan is a University trained Gastroenterologist, and focuses most of her practice on Digestive Health issues. This can range from abdominal pain, diseases of the colon and liver, weight loss, bloating, and many others. Dr. Nathan also sees patients for other medical problems, but will often partner with your existing primary care doctor for maximum benefit of care. She will often address issues that your primary care doctor may not have time to address, for example- goal setting, nutrition, anti-aging techniques, stress relief, and relationship conflict. Her goal is to empower patients with education, decrease dependency on drugs and surgeries, while also getting to know you as a person.

Dr. Nathan feels that patients benefit from longer, relaxed, visits with their doctor, and a physician who focuses on the mind-body connection. With this philosophy in mind, Dr. Nathan uses the tried methods of her traditional MD background, and integrates this with a Holistic- Mind, Body, Spirit, approach. The result is a unique physician whom you can trust and will be your health PARTNER for years to come.

Dr. Nathan strongly emphasizes behavioral change through the technique of Empowerment Coaching, and places a strong emphasis on the value of emotional health. She gives you one-on-one support even after you leave her office, and often that is the spark to lasting  positive change. Dr. Nathan provides the tools and encouragement that people need on their journey to a vibrant life and lasting self-improvement.

What further sets Dr. Nathan apart, is her belief that total Wellness comes from Relaxing the body and mind. In a chaotic world, this is often challenging to do. Thus, Dr. Nathan strives to make each office visit feel more like a relaxing day at the spa, than a traditional medical office.  In fact, the origins of "Spa"  treatments are derived from ancient techniques for wellness and relaxation. Dr. Nathan blends quality care with comfort and integrity.

Dr. Nathan integrates the healing properties of essential oils and hot stone therapy to promote relaxation and harmony. Each visit also ends with a Positive Healing Mind Treatment, which is a verbal reinforcement for behavioral change, emotional peace, and positive thinking. The result is a feeling of rejuvenation and balance, which is the essence and foundation of True Healing.
