At Squirrel Hill Family Wellness Center, we treat a variety of childhood and adult problems combining time-honored natural and alternative healing methods with conventional medical practices.

Our Approaches to Your Health:

• Homeopathy - A 200 year old natural system of medicine based on scientific concepts developed by Samuel Hahnemann, MD. Natural substances that are known to produce disease symptoms when given in a toxic amount are used to heal those same symptoms when prescribed in a safe, diluted and energized form. This form of medicine is used as a primary system of healing in many countries throughout the world. Dr. Berez studied this form of medicine in a homeopathic medical school between 1976 and 1981 in hospital training and one year of government service where she learned to apply homeopathy to acute, chronic, and life threatening illnesses. She has dedicated the last 30 years to deepening these skills.
• Naturopathy - A system of medicine based on the philosophy that nature heals when given the chance. Dr. Berez learned the ancient tools of naturopathy from 1972-1976 at the National School of Naturopathic Medicine in Seattle, Washington. She was fortunate to have apprenticed in the office of Dr. John Bastyr, a preeminent Naturopath. The school taught many natural methods of healing, such as hydrotherapy, nutrition, mechanical, botanical and homeopathic medicine and physiotherapy.
• Nutrition - Dr. Berez is one of a limited group of physicians who practice functional medicine. She has learned to apply nutrition to restore the biochemical balance to and aid a return to health. Small amounts of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and amino acids can be used to replace medications used for common diseases of aging, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, autoimmune disorders, skin problems, and many more.
