Salerno Wellness - Dr. John Salerno
Proven Integrative and Functional Medical Care that Complements Conventional Medicine
Advanced Holistic, Functional, Integrative, and Complementary Medical Care in Manhattan NYC and Connecticut

My Prescription for Your Health and Wellness
For over thirty years, I have complemented traditional medicine with functional and integrative care. Conventional doctors are known for treating patients' symptoms with surgery and pharmaceuticals, both of which have side effects. As a medical doctor, I understand traditional medicine and complement my patient treatments with accurate medical testing and effective natural solutions that target the cause of the patient's symptoms.
Over time, a patient treated with only conventional medicine can develop quite a substantial inventory of daily prescriptions. Just think how popular blood pressure, statins, antibiotics, antidepressants, and diabetic medications are, yet none of them actually treat the conditions that cause their corresponding symptoms.
Now, patients can explore a new way to get and stay healthy! I have a thirty-year proven track record of success in helping my patients achieve a healthy weight and overcome illnesses that would otherwise commit them to a lifetime of prescription drugs with side effects, and unhealthy lifestyles that promote advanced aging and decreased longevity.
Taking the first step is easy. Let's talk about your health and wellness challenges and learn how I can help you bridge the gap from conventional medicine to functional and integrative care that eventually eliminates your symptoms.

Over 30 Years of Advanced Treatments Complimenting Traditional Medical Care
The terms complementary, functional, integrative, holistic, and alternative medicine refer to different approaches in the quality of healthcare you receive as a patient of Salerno Wellness:
- Complementary Medicine - This refers to treatments used alongside conventional medicine. For instance, a patient may start IV treatments to deliver vitamins, minerals, and hydration quickly, especially for patients who may have difficulty absorbing nutrients through oral medications or food. It may also be used to support recovery from illness, alleviate fatigue, or improve overall wellness.
- Functional Medicine - This is a patient-centered approach that seeks to identify and address the root causes of disease rather than just treating symptoms. Functional medicine looks at how genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors contribute to health issues. It often involves personalized treatment plans based on individual biochemistry and health history.
- Integrative Medicine - Integrative medicine is a comprehensive approach to healthcare that combines conventional medical practices with complementary therapies to address the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. It focuses on understanding and treating the underlying causes of health issues rather than just alleviating symptoms. This approach emphasizes personalized care, tailoring treatment plans to meet the unique needs of each patient, taking into account their medical history, lifestyle, and preferences.
- Holistic Medicine - Holistic medicine is similar to integrative medicine in its focus on treating the whole person, including emotional, social, and spiritual factors, not just physical symptoms. Holistic practitioners will often employ various healing modalities to support the patient's overall well-being.
