Affiliate: Dr. Jeffrey Kopelson Family Physician |

As time has moved on, it has become apparent that the need for these new treatments is only increasing. The profusion of un-well people and dis-eased patients is staggering, and the effectiveness of traditional techniques is simply not keeping up. The complex and elusive acute and chronic health problems that confront us more frequently seem to respond much more favorably to the nutritional and environmentally based programs that Dr. Kopelson is using. More importantly, he always tries to get to the root of a problem rather than just mask its symptoms with medication. Perhaps most important, he enjoys taking the time to listen carefully to his patients. Background and Associations Dr. Kopelson graduated from New York Medical College in 1976 and is a fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians. His formal training is augmented by nearly 25 years of experience in Family Practice and the training he has received in Nutritional and Environmental Medicine. Dr. Kopelson holds membership in the American College for the Advancement of Medicine, the American Preventive Medical Association, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine and the Foundation for the Advancement of Innovative Medicine. He is a Diplomate Candidate of the American Board of Chelation Therapy and the American Academy of Environmental Medicine, has spoken at conferences and on radio talk shows and was interviewed on Dateline NBC for his work with secretin therapy in Autistic children. In addition, Dr. Kopelson was the featured clinician of the month in Functional Medicine Update's January 1999 issue. Jeffrey C. Kopelson, M.D. |
Dr. Kopelson is a physician who has specialized in
family practice for nearly 25 years. Over the past 12 years, the focus
of his medical practice has changed considerably to include an
increasingly greater percentage of "complementary" or "alternative"
medical techniques (referred to by some as "Integrative" or "Functional"
medicine). His interest in nutrition and optimal health was what
originally propelled him in this direction. Later, serious personal
health issues responded amazingly well to some sophisticated nutritional
techniques and he realized that this was the direction to go with his
patients as well. He currently uses the best of the traditional and the
most innovative and most well-thought-out of complementary and
integrative techniques in his practice.
