"My mission is to make a meaningful contribution to my community by providing clinical work that allows individuals to achieve a sense of success and fulfillment in all areas of their lives." - Brian K. Wise
Dr. Wise knows first-hand the struggles of being sick, as well as the hope of being healthy. When he was 6 months old, he developed severe asthma, eczema, and allergies. The summers of his youth were spent at a major academic hospital, where doctors sought solutions to his medical problems. He owes the life he has today to the innovative thinking of the medical team treating him. He crafted his patient-oriented treatment philosophy after these gifted physicians who were also creative and thought "outside the box" to meet the needs of their patients.
Dr. Wise holds a Board Certification in Psychiatry as well as Board Certifications from the American Board of Integrative and Holistic Medicine, American Board of Integrative Medicine and the Institute for Functional Medicine. He is currently finishing up the advanced fellowship from the American Academy of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine.
