She believes in thorough specialty diagnostic tests to uncover the underlying causes of your disease.
Her holistic approach makes you a partner in discovering all the factors in your history and lifestyle that impact your overall health: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
After uncovering the root cause of your condition, Dr. Lalezar will tailor a highly effective treatment plan and provide the support you need to experience breakthrough results.
