About Center for Holistic Medicine

What is Center for Holistic Medicine?

Center for Holistic Medicine is a family practice in West Bloomfield, Michigan, at 6089 West Maple Road, founded in 1993 by Dr. David Brownstein, Dr. Richard Ng, and Dr. Jeffrey Nusbaum. All three are conventionally trained, licensed family physicians who built the practice around combining holistic and conventional medicine. The team has grown to include Dr. Hailey Brownstein, Dr. Jessica Brownstein, Jessica Gross PA-C, and Taya Hamilton APRN, and together the founders have been in practice for over 30 years. Dr. Nusbaum's description of his own work names bio-identical hormones alongside whole food supplements, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, systemic enzymes, herbs, homeopathic remedies, Bach Flower Essences, and nutritional IV therapies, which is the hormone therapy component of the practice. Beyond that, the office lists IV Therapies, Therma Scan, MCG (Multifunction Cardiogram testing), and Ozone Therapy as services. This is a general holistic family practice first, with hormone work folded into a broader approach rather than a standalone hormone clinic.

What does it cost?

No prices are published for office visits, hormone therapy, IV therapy, Therma Scan, MCG, or ozone therapy. What is stated is that a new patient appointment requires a non-refundable deposit of $300 to schedule. Beyond that deposit, you would need to call 248-851-1600 to find out what a visit, labs, or any ongoing treatment actually cost, and whether supplements or compounded hormones are billed separately.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which practitioner you would actually see and whether that person is a physician, PA, or APRN, since the practice has a mix of all three. Ask whether the $300 deposit is applied toward your first visit or is purely a scheduling fee, and what a typical visit costs after that. Ask whether insurance is accepted at all, since the new patient instructions ask you to bring an insurance card but nothing says whether claims are filed or whether this is cash pay only. If hormone therapy is what brings you in, ask Dr. Nusbaum's office directly what form that takes (bio-identical hormones prescribed how, monitored how often) since there is no hormone program described on the website beyond that one line. Ask what IV Therapy, Therma Scan, MCG, and Ozone Therapy actually involve and cost, since the website names them without detail. If a video visit works better for you, ask whether telehealth is available, since that is not stated anywhere.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a family practice with decades of history that blends conventional and holistic approaches, including bio-identical hormones as one piece of a larger plan, rather than a clinic built solely around a single hormone or peptide protocol. It is less of a fit if you are looking for a weight loss program, peptide therapy, or a clinic with published pricing and a narrow, named treatment plan before you call.
