“David Shaker, DO is a great doctor! I love that he is a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. It's different from a trad MD because there is more of an emphasis on a holistic approach, considering the interconnection of the body, mind, and spirit. They focus on preventive care and wellness, aiming to help patients achieve overall health. Highly suggest the wholistic approach to health because their hope is to prevent illness not just treating symptoms and disease. ”
