I strongly work with each person and their nutrition as nutrition is very important.”Many folks have come to me at the “end of their rope.” They have seen many doctors and still do not feel good. They have a lot of Western medications and deal with their side effects. With the holistic approach I implement, people start feeling improvement often within the first 2 weeks, depending how long they had their health condition.With a combo of nutrition, supplements, acupuncture and herbs, I practice holistically and see the person as body, mind and spirit.I have laboratory privileges with Tri-Core and SED Medical Labs and able to order, review and discuss your lab results with you.Ask me about your specific health issues.Dr. Viviane Renard has been in the health care field for over 25 years professionally.
