Eric Gordon MD
Eric Gordon, MD graduated from Albany Medical College, Albany NY, in 1980, completing his residency in Family Practice at St. Clare's Hospital in New York. In 1990, he founded the Washington County Hospice, where he served as Medical Director from 1990 to 1995.

Dr. Gordon's passionate interest in alternative medicine, diet and nutrition began when he worked in health food stores in the early 1970s. Since that time he has been integrating his conventional medical knowledge with insights from different approaches to healing and keeping abreast of basic scientific research. This has allowed him to develop his own unique methods of treating people with illnesses that don't respond well to the methods of disease-based medicine. He treats chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, multiple chemical sensitivity, gastrointestinal disorders, autoimmune diseases, chronic heart and lung diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and hormonal imbalances.

Dr. Gordon gave up his conventional medical practice in 1992. He then studied osteopathic manipulation at the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine. He went on to work at the Shealy Institute for the treatment of chronic pain before moving to Santa Rosa, California in 1998, where he is currently practicing medicine, one person at a time.

Wayne Anderson ND PA
In 1973, Dr. Anderson graduated from Southern Illinois University with a B.A. in Special Education. Through his work with emotionally disturbed and learning disabled children, he observed the impact of diet and environment on the students' moods and behaviors. This led him back to school, where he graduated in 1981 from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine.

Dr. Anderson maintained a broad focus on natural healing modalities while in clinical practice in Portland, Oregon. Seeking to further broaden his scope of assessment and treatment, he returned to school, graduating in 1986 from the University of California, Davis Physician Assistant Program.

For the next 18 years, Dr. Anderson practiced in a busy community-based family medicine center, working with individuals and families, from birth to old age, with an emphasis on patients with chronic illness.

In 2002, Dr. Anderson began working with Eric Gordon, M.D. During this time, Dr. Anderson has transitioned from the family practice setting, to the integrative medical setting, where he has been able to focus on a deeper understanding and care of chronic illness, with a growing concentration on Lyme disease.

In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Anderson has maintained his commitment to teaching. For over ten years, he has been an instructor at the Tuoro Osteopathic Medical School, and has worked with student interns from various medical programs. Dr. Anderson also considers his patients to be partners in learning, engaging them in the process of learning about their illness and treatment.

For over 25 years, Dr. Anderson has recognized that patient care must integrate the patient's mind and body and incorporate the strengths of alternative and conventional medicine. His is a practice of individualized medicine, in which each patient is held unique, with their treatment specific to their needs.

Win Bertrand MD
Dr. Bertrand attended medical school at Duke University. He is board-certified in Family Medicine, completing his residency at the University of California at San Francisco program in Santa Rosa.

For the past eight years Dr. Bertrand simultaneously pursued an education in conventional and alternative healing modalities. His mission is to explore the true causes of health and disease, guiding people to wellness through nutrition, herbs, supplements, chelation, detoxification, hormonal work and other methods.

His path as an integrative doctor started when he read Andrew Weil's book, Spontaneous Healing, which demonstrated how thoughts and emotions powerfully influence well-being. Inspired, he trained for four years in meditation, hypnosis, breathwork and body-psychotherapies while attending medical school. During family practice residency, he studied and practiced nutrition, herbal medicine, heavy metal chelation and detoxification. His background has prepared him to address multiple levels of healing, from the physical to the emotional and energetic.

Currently he enjoys helping people with a variety of health concerns, including Heart Disease, Diabetes, Hormonal Imbalance, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, PMS, Lyme Disease, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Environmental Illness, and ADD.
