ESTHER KONIGSBERG,
M.D. C.C.F.P
Integrative Family Physician
Dr. Esther Konigsberg has been a practicing family physician in Burlington since 1986. She has had an interest and passion for integrating complementary and alternative medicine with conventional medicine for many years. This interest has led her to many conferences and educational programs in complementary and alternative medicine, studying with some of the world's foremost leaders in the field including Dr Deepak Chopra and Dr Andrew Weil. Dr. Konigsberg completed the Associate Fellowship Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona in November 2003. She is currently an Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of Arizona where she is a preceptor for the distance learning Program for Integrative Medicine. She is also an Assistant Clinical Professor at McMaster Medical school as well as McMaster's Curriculum Consultant for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. It is her belief that this new model of Integrative Family Medicine will support her patients in their personal journey of health and healing in profound ways that conventional medicine alone cannot accomplish.
TESTIMONIALS
“Whenever I tell people about the centre, I relay the story of when Dr. Konigsberg treated a lump on my daughter's hand. Many doctors would have "healed" the lump with invasive measures like surgery. My daughter was five years old at the time.
Dr. Konigsberg recommended a Chinese herbal lotion. After several applications, the lump completely disappeared. It was typical of the way Dr. Konigsberg approaches her medical work, to look at all the alternatives rather than falling back on the old tried and true methods which so often aren't the best."
Denise
"Dr. Konigsberg offers solutions from both natural and traditional medicine practices. She is very caring and takes the most in-depth history of any doctor I have ever been to. She cares about the patient as a whole and likes to find solutions for problems rather than just writing a prescription for every problem presented. Her office managers are very helpful, friendly and professional. A good doctor is hard to find I feel lucky to have Dr. Konigsberg as my family physician."
