Summary

• Deanna M. Cherrone, M.D. Is the owner and founder of Natural Health & Healing, a Functional Medicine practice that partners with patients looking to optimize health and determine the underlying factors contributing to any symptoms or health challenges they are experiencing.
  
  Upon completing her residency and chief medical residency at University of Connecticut Medical Center and receiving board certification in Internal Medicine, Deanna worked as an Emergency Room physician for five years. She then chose to practice Internal Medicine after taking time off to care for her children. There she was able to develop more longstanding relationships with patients which was a welcome change to the fast pace and rigor of working in an ER.
  
  Dr. Cherrone found that the “one size fits all” approach to treatment in conventional medicine often failed to adequately search for and address the underlying cause of symptoms in herself and in her patients. For this reason, she chose to study and then establish her Functional Medicine practice.
  
  At Natural Health & Healing, she takes the time necessary to listen and learn about each patient so that she can cultivate a relationship of mutual trust and understanding. She loves educating patients on how to take charge of their health. The Functional Medicine approach and testing allows her to look at each patient’s unique “biochemistry” in the context of their physical, mental and emotional health and well-being. With this information she “dispenses” personalized therapies that can have lifelong effects. Her TLC, Therapeutic Lifestyle Change, attention to detail, support and guidance equips patients with the tools needed to reduce or alleviate symptoms, decrease the likelihood of developing disease and improve, or even resolve, current disease states. Her partnership with patients helps them succeed.
  
  Dr. Cherrone is certified in Functional Medicine from the Institute of Functional Medicine and has been practicing for over 15 years.
