About Dr. Wayne Jonas
Cancer is a complex illness that sets off multiple reactions and changes—to your mind, body, and spirit.
Integrative health practitioners understand that conventional methods like chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation are only one aspect of cancer treatment and healing. A whole-person approach to cancer care considers the question “what matters” as in addition to “what’s the matter.”
