Dr. Furth's Philosophy of Care
I strive to provide patients with expert guidance and information to improve their health. My practice focus is cancer survivorship and empowering patients through physical exercise and nutrition for improved well-being. We know that holistic approaches to cancer recovery have the best outcomes. These approaches address a person's lifestyle needs and their medical needs. I help individuals recovering from cancer remain physically healthy by helping them understand their nutritional and exercise needs and by teaching them how to create a healthful lifestyle for themselves following treatment.
