“I heard Michael present the legal landscape of this very novel and unfamiliar area of health care to a ballroom filled with thought leaders from medical education and health care delivery systems, and was immediately impressed with his intellect and thoughtfulness. On that day he not only summarized the state of the law regarding complementary medicine, but also gave us a glimpse of what the future might hold for medicine….” Karen Adams, M.D., Oregon University Health Sciences |
“Michael’s work unquestionably stands with that of other luminaries such as Rachel Naomi Remen MD, Jon Kabat-Zinn MD, and Dean Ornish, MD, who have been pioneers in this area….”
