Summary/services offered:
Advances in Regenerative Medicine allow Dr. Henry Sobo to offer cutting-edge technologies such as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments and adult stem cell therapy. Dr. Sobo’s integrative approach addresses a variety of conditions such as: food allergies, Alzheimer’s/dementia, chronic fatigue syndrome, weight loss, hormonal health, fibromyalgia, anti-aging medicine and MTHFR-Genetic Mutation.

What drew you to this profession?
I found some conditions were not being treated effectively by conventional medicine. For example, irritable bowel syndrome—we simply don’t do much about it. There is medication now that addresses the constipation symptom, but it doesn’t really change anything except that it relieves constipation. In my experience, the majority of people suffering from IBS have significant food sensitivities. That led me, in part, to this type of medicine.

How does your work differ from others in your profession?  
We supplement conventional medical approaches with more natural, less toxic treatments and less medications where possible. People interested in natural therapies often try to find a doctor like myself because sometimes there are cases where medication must be used. If their health professional doesn’t have a medical license, they can only do natural, holistic therapies. So, for more immediate, serious health issues, they need to find another practitioner. My patients feel they get the best of both worlds with me. I am licensed to use medications if we need to, yet I recommend more natural approaches as well. 

What should someone expect from working with you?
In terms of what our practice does, it’s a very broad spectrum. We see many patients with allergies, as well as food sensitivities, which we feel still is not adequately addressed in conventional medical circles. For conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, conventional medicine doesn’t correlate them with food sensitivities, but I’ve seen many patients experience relief when they avoid certain foods.
