  • OFFICE PRACTICE: For 12 years Dr. Clofine practiced Obstetrics and Gynecology out of three metro-Atlanta hospitals, including normal & high-risk obstetrics and the complete range of gynecologic surgery. After working in a small medical group he opened his solo private practice, Lotus Ob-Gyn PC, in Lilburn, which closed after 8 years in 2002. At that time he discontinued surgery, delivering babies and hospital medical practice now focusing on Office Gynecology and Holistic Medicine for women.

.

  • ONGOING ATLANTA PRACTICE: After discontinuing hospital medicine in 2002 he joined Millennium Healthcare, Atlanta’s largest multispecialty holistic group practice, in Dunwoody, Georgia.  He now sees patients in Atlanta every Tuesday and Wednesday.  For appointments at Millennium Healthcare please call 770-390-0012. www.templeofhealth.com

.

  • HOLISTIC MEDICINE: Dr. Clofine integrates Conventional Medicine with Natural Healing and Alternative Therapies. This is often called Complementary Medicine, Integrative Medicine or Holistic Medicine. Standing in the middle and embracing all healing tools creates new options for patients seeking to create health in their lives. At every appointment you will be provided a Personalized Visit Summary that outlines your issues and the plan we have developed together for you to do better. Why not develop a long term relationship with a caring physician?
  • WELL WOMAN CARE AND ANNUAL GYNECOLOGY EXAMS with pap smears & breast screening. Dr. Clofine will advise how to create health in ways that meet your needs and desires. This includes recommendations on diet, activity, supplements and conventional medical preventive testing when indicated. We office low costs for laboratory testing and are open to working with all your health providers. We will start offering Breast Thermography in the office sometime this year (Atlanta referrals availabe before then).
  • EVALUATION & TREATMENT OF COMMON GYNECOLOGY ISSUES including, but are not limited to, evaluation of abnormal pap smears, infections, birth control, uterine fibroids, PMS, bleeding problems, hormonal irregularities, loss of libido, breast problems and pelvic pain. Many patients consult with Dr. Clofine for a second opinion about gynecologic surgery that has been recommended to them.
  • PERSONALIZED MENOPAUSE CARE: Women experiencing the natural transition into menopause are of particular interest to Dr. Clofine. While totally normal, this transition can sometimes create mild problems to severe life disruption. He understands that the best place to start is by listening carefully to what women experience and then helping them to find what they want and need to feel better. His provides Drug-free Natural Support Programs utilizing supplements, herbs and a wide range of alternative therapies. He also has twenty years experience prescribing low-dose gentle supportive BioIdentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, when desired and indicated.
  • BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY (B-HRT): Dr. Clofine understands that every women is different and supporting each individual requires a personalized approach. Caveats of care for B-HRT include always using bioidentical hormones, monitoring baseline and ongoing hormone levels to help guide therapy; monitoring the patients clinical response regularly; providing gentle support by seeking lowest effective dose; maximizing benefits while minimizing risks and continually reevaluating use based on the patients desires, the benefits obtained and new medical knowledge.
  • NATURAL APOTHECARY: Recommended supplements, homeopathics, herbs and flower essences are available in the office for a reasonable price. This is for patient convenience and to make sure they get what is recommends. Product lines include Gaia Herbs, Pure Encapsulations, Thorne Research and Nordic Naturals Oils.
  • OSTEOPATHIC BODYWORK: As an D.O. (Osteopathic Physician), Dr. Clofine upholds a long tradition of using hands-on-healing bodywork. Rooted in Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy, and augmented with Energy Medicine and other techniques, he has been applying these skills for patient healing for 25 years. His gentle and nurturing bodywork sessions are utilized to treat specific problems as well as to promote stress reduction, healing and general wellness. His sessions are known to induce deep relaxation and are often combined with Mind-Body Medicine.
  • MIND-BODY MEDICINE: This is the field of stress reduction therapy. It is often difficult to change those circumstances that create stress though we can always change how we respond to stress. Often combined with Osteopathic Bodywork, Dr. Clofine teaches skills that can be practiced on a daily basis for ongoing benefit. These techniques include diaphragmatic breathing, generic breath meditation, progressive relaxation, creative visualization and guided imagery.
