Dr. Tracy Freeman, BB&R Chief Medical Advisor, has developed a patient-centered practice that incorporates the best of traditional and complementary and alternative medicine, (CAM). It is with a caring disposition that she listens to her patient’s concerns and uses that as a guidepost to choosing appropriate testing and treatment. As a Board Certified Internist, Dr. Freeman is able to incorporate conventional medical approaches with natural therapies to create an effective treatment plan that facilitates her patients’ healing journey.
Dr. Freeman’s desire to help children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and their families, coupled with her belief that parents and future parents are the true guiding force of their child’s health, have led her to develop a practice that empowers parents in their own well- being and that of their children.
