Integrative Medicine Consultation

Many patients seek treatment options beyond those that are typically offered in conventional medical care. At the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at UCSF Medical Center, our practitioners, who are trained in both conventional and complementary medicine, offer a comprehensive level of expertise and understanding about health care and healing approaches.

The first step in evaluation and treatment at the Osher Center is an integrative medicine consultation, where you meet with a board-certified doctor trained in both conventional and complementary medicine to develop a holistic and individualized healing plan. During the consultation, you will be introduced to a range of therapies. For many conditions, a combination of both conventional and complementary therapies is recommended to address all aspects of your health -- biological, psychological, social and spiritual.

The initial consultation involves a comprehensive 60-minute visit and a subsequent 30-minute follow-up appointment, with additional visits scheduled as needed. Please note that the Osher Center doctors are not considered primary care providers (PCP). However, they will work in conjunction with your PCP in order to create a truly integrated treatment plan.
