Stuart Ditchek, MD, is a practicing pediatrician and senior founding partner of Integrative Pediatric Associates of New York. Based in Brooklyn, New York, Ditchek's practice carries a caseload of 6,000, including children who come from other countries specifically to see him. He is a diplomat of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and an associate professor of Pediatrics at New York University School of Medicine.
Ditchek's style of practice--Integrative Pediatrics--draws on mind/body techniques, botanical remedies, dietary and lifestyle changes, as well as more "accepted" modalities. When it seems appropriate, he may refer a patient to a carefully chosen holistic dentist, chiropractor, acupuncturist or therapist.
