Biography

When one looks at Dr. Jurica’s childhood, it is no wonder why he is a leader in the field of integrative medicine.  “I grew up seeing both traditional medicine and alternative medicine as I have several doctors in my family.  From my cousin delivering babies to my other cousin working with chronically ill patients naturally, I seemed to have seen it all.  My mother even made my own baby food from organic produce picked fresh that day.  This all comes very natural to me.”

“I saw my mentor (my cousin who is a natural doctor with of over 25 years of practice) help people who went all over the country and couldn’t find help from ‘traditional” medicine” says Dr. Scott Jurica.  “What I have found is that many diseases can be alleviated through various natural therapies.  I saw it every day in my cousin’s practice and with many other doctors.   I knew this is what I wanted to do.  While there are many benefits to traditional medicine, I feel there are just as many or more benefits to natural medicine.  I simply could not sleep well at night wondering WHAT IF this person could have been treated without the use of any surgery or drugs.    I have to find out, and if it’s of absolute necessity, I know the best internists and surgeons in the city.”

The next generation of doctors must become experts at integrating eastern and western medicine knowing when to use each and know that you must look at the entire body and how it is all connected versus chasings symptoms.  Dr. Jurica is that doctor right now. 

“I am constantly learning, constantly studying, and am constantly humbled by all that I need to know”.  In order to be a great doctor, it is my obligation to give my patients the absolute best in healthcare and to design their treatment plans as specifically and uniquely as possible.  Just like their personality, their health protocols should be just as unique.
