While Dr. Justin studied at the University of Massachusetts, he started off his health career working in a surgical center as he prepared for his
medical school training. Working in the surgical field gave Justin a
first-hand, up-close perspective into the healthcare system. He was able
to see where it shined especially in the area of treating acute
injuries and trauma and also saw its short comings, which were most evident in
the areas of chronic disease like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity which currently plague our society today.
This
experience shifted Justin's focus from a traditional medical approach to a more functional or natural medical approach to healing, where the underlying cause of the
patient's health issues are actually addressed and not just medicated
and surgically removed.
