Integrative Family Medicine

Dr. Etges is your partner in integrative medicine

Integrative family medicine combines conventional medicine with alternative and complementary therapies. Currently his practice is limited to adult medicine, though on a case-by-case basis he may also accept adolescents patients.

Dr. Etges provides traditional family medicine for adults, acupuncture, regenerative joint therapy (prolotherapy) and nutritional-based therapies. Integrative family medicine as practiced by Dr. Etges allows the patient to take a more active role in their treatment.

Dr. Etges is your health care partner. He is adept at coordinating his combined therapies with those offered by other local practitioners should specialty care be needed.

It is rare to find a doctor with the experience, compassion and wisdom that you will find in Dr. Tom Etges. I have used a number of acupuncturists for severe back pain and Dr. Etges is by far the best. His knowledge of medicine made it easy for him to understand the issues and support the work of my other medical providers.

I have known Tom for a few years, but first saw him after a car accident. Through acupuncture, Tom was able treat issues in my back that neither massage nor chiropractic treatments were able to. I highly recommend him.

“Dr. Etges offers the best of Integrative Medicine on many levels. Having a doctor I trust to oversee my autoimmune condition is in itself, ‘good medicine’. Qualities I admire: compassion, competence, enthusiasm for cutting-edge knowledge, honesty and humility.”

After years of lower back pain, varies back pain issues, and heel bruises, Dr. Etges’s Accupunture has finally helped me feel hopeful that I can resume exercise and fitness at the level I want. He shares his knowledge and insights as we go so I am well informed while getting relief. I believe he is the ONLY doctor who ever addressed all of the comments I wrote on my (very extensive) intake exam. That alone was extraordianary. He has a professional demeanor and at the same time he’s quirky and relaxed, making me feel confident in his skills which is important since I’d never had someone insert needles in me before!
I cannot say enough good things about his attention to detail and ongoing professionalism in his practice. I’m glad I found him and look forward to many years of medical excellence in his practice.
