About Center Point Medicine
About the Practice
To achieve optimum health, there must be a balance between the physical and psychological aspects of life. At Center Point Medicine, with offices in San Diego, California, La Jolla, California, and Syracuse, New York, the caring, dedicated staff believes that psychological factors can be precursors to the development of illness. Stress and anxiety may also be responsible for patients having a diminished response to medical treatments.
Dr. Ran D. Anbar and his dedicated team of health care providers offer unique health services to help patients overcome psychological roadblocks or use the power of their minds to improve their overall health. A recognized leader in hypnosis techniques, Dr. Anbar uses various pediatric hypnosis and counseling methods to bring about positive change in both the physical and mental health of each patient.
In addition to in-office hypnosis treatment, Dr. Anbar, Dr. Danielle Aretz, and experienced nurse practitioners Amy Chambers, Sherrie Jacoby, and Christine Sullivan, teach patients how to use hypnosis on their own through focusing inwardly and directing their attention toward the positive. Hypnosis techniques can be taught in just minutes to patients as young as four years old.
The Center Point Medicine team offers hypnosis and counseling services to address a variety of chronic functional disorders, including insomnia, nightmares, and tics and chronic health conditions, such as arthritis, asthma, cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, and migraine headaches. Their techniques have been beneficial for many patients and proven effective in emergency departments and pediatric intensive care units of hospitals around the country.
