Daniel J. Dunphy, PA-C
The good physician cures illness, while the excellent physician prevents it, but only Nature heals.
Daniel J. Dunphy, PA-C, brings almost forty years experience in both western and biologic medical traditions to his practice.
Daniel’s recently published book, Your Self-Healing Body, Opening Avenues to Optimum Health is a reflection upon the self-healing nature of the body. Daniel looks at the whole person as well as symptoms and problems at hand. Using his Holosystemic Mandala to graphically demonstrate a person’s overall health status, Daniel applies systems analysis to medical biology. He listens closely and responds from experience. Good medicine isn’t just about what and where the problems are, it is also about having the vitality to mount an adequate healing response. This is often a critical component for successful recovery and opening pathways to deeper levels of healing.
Daniel specializes in family and internal medicine including insulin metabolism, immune/auto-immune imbalances and chronic degenerative conditions. By taking time to listen carefully he can often illuminate better health self-awareness as well as novel and fresh approaches to long- standing medical problems. Healing illness can be a long journey. Daniel will help you along your path to allow you to make the most of your self-healing body.
