However, Steinmetz Medical Associates is a collaborative practice and we all share a common approach to the evaluation and treatment of our patients, I recommend both Doctors Jennifer Lee and Jeanne Shiffman who are accepting new patients.
Philosophy: Dr Steinmetz believes that it is important to look at the whole patient when there is disease and begin treatment with lifestyle issues first followed by simple supplements and herbs or acupuncture. When necessary, she is happy to use prescription medications. She likes to discuss treatment options with patients so they have control over their health care. Her goal is that all her patients are so healthy they only need to see her once a year.
