Harold D. Steinberg MD

I, like so many of my peers have become disillusioned with the one dimensional approach to Western Medicine and shifted my focus entirely to Integrative Medicine.

Integrative Medicine is the blending of conventional medicine with holistic, complementary, and alternative medicine. Integrative Medicine is defined as healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person (body, mind, heart and spirit), including all aspects of lifestyle. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and makes use of all appropriate therapies, both conventional and alternative.

I have been practicing Complimentary and Alternative Medicine exclusively for the past 10 years.

I graduated from the Boston University School of Medicine in 1984 and completed my residency at Catholic Medical Center of Brooklyn and Queens in 1990. I am educated and trained as a General and Vascular Surgeon, with special interest in Intensive Care and Nutrition and practiced in this arena until 1996 when I made my change to Complimentary and Alternative Medicine.

While practicing surgery in Hawaii, a colleague and friend who knew of my chronic problems with back and joint pain introduced me to a local Prolotherapist from whom I received treatment. After this firsthand experience that permanently repaired damage instead of masking my pain, I enthusiastically received training and made it part of my Alternative practice.
