Q&A with David Schechter, MD


Even after decades of successfully using the mindbody approach in his practice, David Schechter knows that there is still a long way to go, and a lot at stake. "With the shift in healthcare, continued pressure on high cost/high risk procedures and medications, and the potential to leverage an educational/psychological approach with new technology, an important opportunity has arisen. We must take advantage of this opportunity…. what’s at stake after all is reducing pain, improving health, saving money, and transforming the patient-doctor relationship… that’s all!"
