Why “DOCERE” ?

In searching for a name that would convey our message, we looked to the origins of medicine, attempting to define the heart of medicine, before it was affected by the healthcare industry.  In gazing back at the core of what founded the principles of medicine and the virtues of “old time” physicians, we came across the word that clarifies our mission.

“Docere” which is the Latin origin of the word “doctor” appropriately means “to teach.”  Even the earliest physicians understood that education and prevention were the foundation of health and wellness.  What could be more appropriate for a practice that is attempting to go back and deliver the original style of medicine than to name itself after the origin of the word “doctor.”
