MORE ABOUT US

Pregnancy Support

Dr. Fritsch and Dr. Pan know firsthand the ailments that often come with pregnancy. Unfortunately, these complaints are often written off as “normal” which means the woman needlessly suffers with little support or care. They often hear patients say, “if only I would have known about you with my first pregnancy it would have been so much better” or “why don’t all pregnant women know about this?”. Not only do the doctors each have over 16 years of experience treating pregnant women, they have also had the experience of being pregnant themselves. They feel passionately about supporting women to have the best pregnancy possible using hands-on care, nutrition, functional and natural medicine and recommendations from their vast knowledge of resources. They are compassionate & supportive of a family’s pregnancy, birth and parenting choices.

We offer support for pain, nausea, headaches, reflux, constipation, sinusitis, insomnia, breech presentation, labor prep/induction, breastfeeding/milk supply, mood support, and immune support.
