About Dr. Hiteshi

If I could share one insight on wellness…
So much of our physical state of being is rooted in our mental
state. If we can ensure time in our routine for mindfulness-based
practices, we may be able to replace some medications with meditation.

My Patient Care Philosophy
Listening is the key to helping my patients. The diagnosis is hidden in
the intricate details that a patient shares with me, and I provide a safe
and trustworthy space where my patients can communicate with me
freely. I understand that each patient is uniquely influenced by their
genetics, past experiences, and current environment, and I use this
information to partner and guide them in a way that resonates with their
personal philosophies.

Integrative Medicine
I believe that while modern medicine excels in treating acute conditions,
we can benefit by tapping into knowledge from alternative medicine to
guide preventative care. I practice an integrative approach that blends
the best of all available medical solutions, be it rooted in Eastern or
Western medicine.

Practicing Lifestyle Medicine
At a young age, after being hospitalized for recurrent asthma attacks
that were treated with potent medications, my family sought care
under a pediatrician with a different approach. Although it was
challenging to revamp my way of living as a child, these changes
ultimately resulted in eliminating medications. This experience showed
me the immense power of lifestyle medicine and empowered me to
take control of my well-being. I try to bring this perspective and sense
of empowerment to my patients.
