Mindfulness – Family Physician

West End (235 Wallace Avenue)

Dr. Shawna Perlin

Practice style (Philosophy)

I believe in treating the body and mind together to assist patients in their healing. In my family practice I had a collaborative approach with my patients. I addressed their mental health concerns along with their physical concerns. This approach was helpful for acute and more chronic health conditions. It improved their recovery and helped with prevention of other illnesses. It will be exciting to work with the excellent members of the Synergy team to optimize our patients.
