Dr. Harper has treated thousands of patients with long-lasting fatigue and uses an integrative approach to diagnose and treat all of the underlying reasons you are experiencing persistent fatigue.

Many doctors follow an approach that focuses on only one or two potential causes.  This can lead to frustration as you seek out doctor after doctor, each telling you something different.  An effective program will look at ALL the potential causes for chronic fatigue and customize a solution that is right for you.
