Steinmetz Medical Associates - I have been practicing family medicine for twenty-five years. During that time I have seen tremendous benefit from advances in technology and medications. At the same time, the health care system has ignored that we are intricate beings composed of complex interactions between body, mind, spirit, and our internal and external environment.
In 1997 I started Steinmetz Medical Associates to respond to a community need for a more holistically integrated medical practice. Integrative Medicine is a movement that came together in the early 1990’s under the leadership of Dr. Andrew Weil and has been expanding since that time. Marie Steinmetz, M.D.*
