As an MD trained in preventive medicine, Dr. Collin is interested in natural treatment support for chronic adult conditions. Although vitamin and mineral supplementation, as well as diet and exercise, are very important in the care of conditions such as hypertension and diabetes, it is necessary to continue medical treatment concurrently. Dr. Collin prefers to evaluate each medical patient carefully, understanding their diagnosis and medical prescriptions, prior to consideration of a nutritional and preventive recommendation. It is very important that, if the patient has not had an internist diagnosis of current symptoms, an appointment should be set up for internal medicine exam prior to consultation with Dr. Collin.
