Dr. Michael E. Doyle: Conventional and Alternative Medicine

Receiving his B.S. from Cornell University and his M.D. from Georgetown University School of Medicine, Dr. Michael Doyle is a board-certified family physician with nearly two decades of clinical experience. Dr. Doyle’s background includes aextensive experience in both conventional and alternative medicine. After completing his Family Medicine residency at the University of Rochester, he practiced Emergency Medicine for several years. He later served as Medical Director for a group of outpatient health centers.

During this time, he witnessed the limitations of modern medicine, both personally and professionally. Many of the patients he saw suffered from chronic illnesses and seemed to do poorly despite “state-of-the art” medical care. Long hours spent reviewing the medical literature left him mystified. He realized that many of the most widely used medical treatments had never been proven to save lives, and they rarely seemed to make people feel better.

He felt compelled find a better way and began to pursue his lifelong interests in nutrition and alternative medicine. He began to take specialized courses and continued to independently research the healthcare literature. Specialized training in treating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia soon lead him to appreciate the profound influence of hormones on our health and introduced him to the forgotten work of many great physicians such as Broda Barnes and William McK. Jefferies.

These issues became more personal when Dr. Doyle’s wife suffered a relapse of her hypothyroid condition. After watching her go from doctor to doctor and continue to do very poorly, even losing a pregnancy, he realized that there was a better way. Dr. Doyle and his wife began to use a variety of natural and alternative treatments to treat her condition. Her energy and health improved substantially and she was able to deliver two more healthy babies.

This combination of research and specialized training plus experience has enabled Dr. Doyle to effectively combine conventional and alternative medicine to offer his patients uniquely safe and effective medical care.
