Dr. Alaina is interested in your overall health, nutrition, medical history, medications, physical activity, hobbies, and lived experience. Your skin is an external organ that is in contact with the surrounding environment and works with your internal organs. When an internal organ is not healthy, skin changes can occur such as itching, rashes, or skin growths. Dr. Alaina works with you to improve your overall health and collaborates with your health care team.
We offer health education and mindful movement classes to support healthy living.
