Our Team

Riffat H. Qadir MD, FACS, FAAOA

Modern medicine and surgery have a lot to offer, but the human element in the doctor-patient relationship remains at the heart of healing.  I approach each patient as a unique and whole individual, not an isolated diseased organ.  Healing is an active process for the patient; my role is to guide and facilitate.  I believe the physical and psychological state of the patient must be taken into consideration to optimize healing and recovery from illness.

​

Our daily stress level, diet, amount of rest and exercise, as well as social and family support systems are all important determinants of health.   I  incorporate nutrition, diet, exercise and stress management in therapeutic as well as preventive protocols.  These lifestyle factors must be optimized to maximize recovery and well-being.

​

As a patient, you become an active partner.  This allows you to really be in charge of improving your own health and changing the outcome of disease.
