Neeta Jain, M.D.

I am passionate about helping people make healthy lifestyle choices. I care for adults throughout their lifespan from health to complex illness. I am skilled in both preventative health care and acute and chronic disease management. I believe in the mind, body, spirit connection and that our relationships, our jobs, our communities, and our environment affect our health. I value other healing traditions and some alternative medicine practices that add to modern medicine. A trusting, therapeutic relationship is essential to good care. I try to be a guide through medical technology and specialty care, drawing upon the advances and knowledge of medical research balanced with what is right for an individual. I also believe we cannot control if we will get sick or encounter suffering but it is important to use our connection with other people to help us through those times.
