Maureen Wilson-Hwang, ND

Maureen Wilson-Hwang, N.D. is a licensed naturopathic doctor in California and Arizona. She uses lab tests, interview and physical exam to assess her patients and uses this information to balance, support, detoxify and rebuild the system using nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy, injectables, bio-identical hormones and life style modifications.

Dr. Wilson-Hwang completed her medical training at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, Arizona. She then completed an integrative oncology residency focused on co-treating cancer through immune-therapy, nutrition, botanical medicine, supplements, homeopathy, high dose vitamin C IV's and counseling.

The field of Integrative Medicine has exploded in the past few years. Using nontraditional methods (in concert with conventional approaches) to treat cancer and its side effects is becoming more and more common. However, not all methods are created equal and there is so much false information out there. Although integrative medicine has a long way to go in terms of research and trials there are already many herbs and supplements proving to be extremely beneficial for prevention and co-treatment of cancer.

To keep Current on all of the new information Dr Wilson-Hwang is a member of the Society for Integrative Oncology which is helping to bridge the gap between traditional oncology and evidence based natural approaches such as herbal medicine and supplements. She is also a member of the Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians which is a specialized group of Naturopathic practitioners that share information about the latest finding in alternative medicine for cancer.

She has worked as a primary healthcare physician for the uninsured for two years in Mesa, Arizona and worked as the head of the nutrition department at Sanoviv Medical Institute in Mexico. She had a private practice for many years in Scottsdale, Arizona before moving to Marin.

She now has a private practice in Mill Valley, California where she treats chronic diseases, digestion disorders, women’s hormones and reproduction. Routine check ups are important so that small problems like constipation can be corrected before they become bigger problems. When working with hormonal health Dr Wilson-Hwang looks at the whole endocrine system and treats it using herbs, bio-identical hormones, adrenal and thyroid support.

It has been said that the best health comes from learning how to listen to one's body by quieting the mind. I believe that the best health practitioners are those that are able to listen to their patients and respond with what they need and want for true healing.
