Our Approach to Care

At the UCSF Osher Center for Integrative Medicine, we offer a dynamic approach to health, healing and prevention by integrating modern medicine with established health practices from around the world. Our mission is to support your health and healing by offering:

Exceptional Care

Our licensed practitioners have extensive skill, training and experience. Each member of our team is licensed in their field and is credentialed by the UCSF Medical Center- one of the nation’s top 10 premier hospitals for eight consecutive years and best in the Bay Area (US News and World Report 2008)

Communication

We practice relationship-centered care in which the patient and practitioner form a partnership to help promote healing. Our practitioners carefully listen to your concerns and work with you to develop a healing plan specific to your needs.

Collaboration

Our practitioners work together to determine the best treatment programs for our patients. When appropriate, our practitioners also collaborate closely with clinicians from other departments and institutions.

Personal Sustainability

We focus on prevention, health maintenance, early intervention and patient-centered care. We provide you with information, exercises and self-care techniques to empower you to take control of your own health and support life long whole-person healing.
