~ From Dr. Brad Brown ~
While attending medical school in Phoenix, I knew right away I wanted to care for everyone of all ages, or “womb to tomb and everything in between” as some say. As a family doc, I also work in rural emergency rooms and various hospitals in the area to keep the skills sharp. I have a passion for using lifestyle and food as medicine, and you will probably get tired of hearing me say “life is motion and motion is medicine”.
