DR. KIRANA KEFALOS, M.D., L.L.C. Portland OR. Internal Medicine from a Holistic Perspective © 2015

Dr. Kefalos is a  Board Certified MD  trained in  Internal Medicine . As a result of extensive medical training and nearly 40 years experience practicing (the last 20+ years including integrative modalities) she is able to collaborate with you  on your journey towards optimal wellness! She embodies a unique combination of conventional medical knowledge and holistic wisdom and is skilled at blending them in a practical individualized approach. Dr K uses functional medicine approaches to get to the underlying cause of illness. She looks at the whole person, not just their symptoms! Many people find Dr K after being to other practitioners over the years, and being told that since their standard labs and physical exam are normal that there is nothing that can be done to improve their symptoms. It is a very gratifying for Dr K to be able offer them a route to relief.

Starting with a detailed history, comprehensive physical examination, specific-to-you laboratories (blood, saliva, stool, etc) and diagnostic testing procedures (EKG, x-ray and other diagnostic imaging if needed) she formulates an assessment as to what might be most helpful to you. This includes  lifestyle advice and nutritional awareness. She might also suggest specific Mind-Body Medicine techniques (meditation, yoga, pranayama, etc).  Kinesiology (also known as energy testing or muscle testing) is a favored modality to help assess energy flows in and around the body. Dr K finds Nutrition Response Testing, ^TM Morphogenic Field Technique _SM  and Eden Energy Medicine  very useful tools. Please note that although Dr K does participate with many insurance companies, these latter modalities are not billable to insurance.
