Welcome to Mbody Healthcare
At MBody Healthcare, we focus on one thing: you. We strive to provide an environment that is welcoming and feels like home. There are no lab coats or other emblems you may initially think of when a doctor’s office comes to mind. We will likely be wearing t-shirts and jeans when you arrive. Although unconventional, this is simply an outward expression of who we are and by no means indicates us not taking your healthcare needs seriously. We encourage the same from you. Come as you are. We prefer people to be honest, upfront, and comfortable with making all their needs known. We genuinely believe this approach fosters connection and provides a fantastic catalyst for positive outcomes.
We are humans full of imperfections and don’t honestly fit the stereotype of a “doctor,” but we know medicine and are passionate about reaching those who need us. Maybe in a world where the medical providers were not so separate from those they are trying to help, we would see results much quicker and with lasting changes.
