Mission

To develop personalized treatment plans that empower patients to achieve optimal health and experience freedom of movement.

Values

A dear friend and mentor of Dr. Sam’s said, “Prevention is cheaper than the cure,” a principle she holds close to her heart. Dr. Sam believes that lifestyle modifications are crucial in overcoming disease. Additionally, she adopts an integrative approach, recognizing that there is no “one-size-fits-all” treatment plan. Each individual deserves a personalized strategy that addresses their unique needs

“PBAM has been the the best! Sam has a pleasant, professional and confidence-inspiring approach to her highly effective treatment. I am now able to walk freely, climb hike and ski again after years of limited mobility. Just the right remedy.”
