Julie Perlanski, MD, MS, ABHM

I have been a family physician for 20 years and feel privileged to share in the lives of my patients. My first years of practice were in Nova Scotia.  I moved to the U.S. in 1996 and over the following years have worked in Little Falls and the surrounding communities in the primary care setting.

As I became disillusioned with the limitation of conventional medicine I began to attend several training programs at Harvard's Mind / Body Medical Institute. In addition to the extensive introductory course, I completed their advanced training in Cardiac Rehabilitation, Infertility and Menopause. These experiences introduced me to tools in patient care that are transformative for patients.

 I have continued to seek further training in areas of medicine that work with patients within their belief system, honoring all aspects of health; physical, emotional and spiritual. I became Board Certified in Holistic Medicine in 2001 and completed a Fellowship in Integrative Medicine with Dr. Andrew Weil at the University of Arizona in 2005. In addition to the Fellowship, I completed the Botanical courses offered by the University of Arizona on Women's Health.

Presently, I have a family practice in Little Falls, New York, where I see patients from newborn to the elderly. I am also a founding member of Collaborative Healing, a group of integrative health care practitioners who combine conventional and alternative medicine. Together we form a network of providers, philosophically aligned, who believe in the value of compassionate relationships and that health is a cohesive balance of mind body and spirit. Working with our patients we try to achieve this balance. We are dedicated to leading the transformation of health care in the Little Falls area by adhering to the philosophy of Integrative Medicine, which is relationship centered and holistic, shifting the orientation of medicine from one of disease to one of healing.
