Vision

The concept of doctor as authority figure is rapidly being replaced with a more progressive view of doctor as health partner. Dr. Cass follows the following principles:

• Treat the whole person – mind, body, spirit, and environment.
• Determine the deepest root causes of symptoms, using scientific lab testing if needed.
• Apply a continuum of treatments, always beginning with the safest and most natural possible.

In this way, we have the opportunity to help heal our health care system, our communities, our planet, and ultimately, ourselves.
