What patients say about Anthroposophic Medicine

 

A Real Partner in Well-Being

“I have worked with Dr. Blanning for five years, and I think he is a phenomenal practitioner. He is kind, extremely knowledgable. As smart and experienced as he is, I have found that he isn’t a know-it-all who just wants to be a dispenser of medical advice. But instead someone who really wants to engage my mind so we can think together about how best to approach my health challenges.” —J.R.

Comprehensive Care

“I can recommend Dr. Blanning without reservation and whole heartedly. It’s rare to find a physician who takes the time and has the heart to understand their patients. His approach is truly comprehensive and holistic, as he integrates allopathic, homeopathic and anthroposophic medicine in service to each individual. His care exceeded my expectations.” —S.A.

Partnership

“Adam has been our family doctor for 14 years, from pregnancy to now teenage children. He has supported us through croup, anxiety, auto-immune disease, whopping cough and so much more. If you are looking for a relationship based practice where you are seen and heard, this is the place. Anthroposophy has added an amazing perspective to our health and Dr. Blanning's gentle and intuitive nature has alleviated our children's fears of seeing the doctor. We feel so lucky to have this amazing partner on our journey through life.” —J.H.
