Natural Medicine MD Passaic North Jersey – A Second Opinion Worth Getting
Many people who contact CITM are not seeking a first opinion – they seek a second opinion after months of normal labs and no relief from their symptoms. A Natural Medicine MD located in Passaic County, North Jersey, is there for just that. Dr. Roman Finn evaluates your entire medical history, recommends tests that are not part of the usual panel, and creates a plan that is based on what is going on in your body and not what fits into a fifteen-minute follow-up.
Physicians and Specialists Supporting Your Natural Medicine Plan
- Dr. Roman Finn – board-certified internist and a natural medicine practitioner who specializes in root-cause-based medicine, integrative medicine, and natural medicine
- Scott David Lippe, MD – gastroenterologist who specializes in collaboration for digestive and gut-related issues
- Lev Vyshedsky, L.Ac – acupuncture that is applied selectively, when there is a real benefit to using it as part of the overall treatment program
- One healthcare provider who can review your chart every time, rather than a different provider looking at the chart from scratch each time
For patients who have a long history of disjointed visits to the doctor, the continuity of one doctor’s consultation with the entire history is crucial – seeing all the tests and all the referrals in one place, instead of just the latest complaint, is often how the link becomes apparent.
What Happens When Your Labs Look Normal but You Still Feel Off
Passaic County patients often come to natural medicine MDs for this reason. Standard panels focus on catching the disease, and a patient can walk away with a clean bill of health, but not feeling like himself or herself because of years of inadequate sleep, chronic stress, or nutrient deficiencies. Functional and nutrient-based testing helps to overcome that blind spot, and the results are always understood in the context of your lifestyle and history; not as a number to respond to in isolation. For many patients, that more comprehensive test is the first time a lab diagnosis has aligned with their symptoms.
Multi-Generational Care for Families in Passaic County
Families across Passaic County often bring multiple generations into the same conversation – a parent managing diabetes, a grandparent dealing with thyroid changes, a young adult with unexplained fatigue that started after a stressful year. Each case is treated separately, and one is alert to any common denominator, whether it is diet, genetics, or lifestyle factors that might present differently within the family but are likely to have a similar source. Not all of those who view one person see the same thing, so it is important to note the areas where there is overlap and where there isn’t.
Where Complementary Therapies Fit Into the Plan
- Acupuncture, IV nutrient therapy, and targeted supplementation were only used when they are beneficial to your particular case
- Guidance on nutrition based on your current lab work and lifestyle, rather than a printed handout provided to all clients
- Medication is used and supervised as needed in addition to natural remedies when clinically appropriate
- Direct treatment of sleep, stress, and recovery, which all influence hormone and metabolic markers over time
No blanket recommendations for these are made here. Every component of the plan is selected according to individual labs, symptoms, and lifestyle, and eliminated from the protocol if it is not yielding a measurable outcome.
An Integrative Natural Medicine MD Passaic County Patients Trust
Follow-through is what sets a natural medicine practice apart from a traditional visit to the doctor. Plans aren’t handed out once and never changed – labs are reviewed, symptoms are monitored, adjustments are made as your case progresses – and care is adjusted to your body’s response, not to wait until next year’s physical. The continuous attention can make the difference between a plan that works on paper and a plan that works over time.

Frequently Asked Questions: Natural Medicine MD in Passaic County
A natural medicine MD looks at how your symptoms are related to one another in various systems (gut, hormones, metabolism, stress) rather than sending you to a different specialist who only sees one aspect of your symptoms. For CITM, it means one doctor – from start to finish – seeing you for every visit and charting your progress against all the previous information you’ve shared.
Yes. Deeper imbalances are not ruled out by normal standard labs. Functional and nutrient testing are often the missing piece found in normal panel testing for the patient who has been told there is no problem when there really is.
No, you can make an appointment directly with CITM’s natural medicine practice without a referral.
In most cases, yes. Medications are not eliminated from the plan if clinically indicated, but rather integrated in tandem with nutrition and supplementation, and lifestyle changes. Careful adjustments of current prescriptions are only made in consultation with the care team.
Yes. When families have a variety of health issues–diabetes, thyroid, unexplained fatigue, etc.-a natural medicine strategy that identifies common themes can be beneficial, even if the symptoms seem different on the surface. Individual plans are still given to each family member; in addition, the coordinated review identifies patterns that may not be identified in an individual visit.
Your plan is reviewed every time your labs and symptoms change, not once a year during your routine physical exam.
