Douglas J. Hopper, MD

I am educated at Princeton, UCLA, and USC for undergraduate, medical school and residency training. I am residency trained in family practice and also in psychiatry. We have a traditional family practice, servicing most general problems from age 12 through 100. The emphasis is on aggrssive preventative care. We care for about 85 of medical problems. For the other 15 we refer to specialists. We are exclusive commercial providers for the Heritage IPA and provide smooth specialty referrals for the large numbers of HMO's which we service. We do not employ physician assistants or nurse practitioners. We have an emphasis on holistic medicine, using natural treatment methods when possible. We do IV therapies with vitamin C, B vitamins and chelation. We have a superb weight loss program, using the Ideal Protein plan. You can find it on the web. We provide pulsed electromagnetic field therapy for multiple conditions, including back pain, neck pain, anxiety and depression. I am Board Certified multiple times. I regularly re-train at the yearly HarvardUCLA Primary Medicine conferences. Our user friendly staff can arrange timely visits for urgent and routine medical problems. I have a research interest in stem cell therapies and keep up to date in that field. Stem cell therapy is not for now, but it is rapidly advancing into clinical practice.
