About Us

Osteopathic Healthcare, LLC was founded by Elizabeth Caron, D.O. to serve the community and to be an educational center for Osteopathy. Biodynamic Osteopathy, founded by James Jealous, D.O, is the common thread for Dr. Caron's practice, that are based on the principles of a Traditional Osteopathic practice which incorporates the philosophy of Osteopathic Medicine in a General Practice setting. 

Osteopathic Healthcare, LLC was created to serve the local community with a traditional Osteopathic Practice as well as drawing national and international patients who seek this unique type of healthcare.  

Osteopathic Healthcare also serves as an educational center for the training of Osteopathic Physicians with regular conferences in Biodynamic Osteopathy (a form of Osteopathy founded by James Jealous, D.O.).  Dr. Caron is on the Biodynamic faculty where she continues to teach both locally and internationally.

Our Mission

Is to provide full spectrum outpatient medical care to serve the community. We are a general practice traditional osteopathic medicine clinic with board certified physicians ready to take care of any and all medical conditions affecting all ages, pediatrics to adults. 

 

We apply the principles of Osteopathy to each individual through the philosophy and hands on application of medicine. We stress a diagnostic and therapeutic approach based upon the patient and their resources with the primary role of the physician as an effective communicator and facilitator of the body's inherent ability to heal and maintain the balance in the whole person. 

 

We became doctors to freely practice medicine and provide the most comprehensive care to patients. It was immediately clear that the Osteopathic Medical philosophy was the way in which to bring forth our calling. And we wish to share that with our patients.

 

We have been practicing medicine since 2000 and have worked across the country in many different settings.  And what has been increasingly clear is that the systems we were working in does not provide us the independence we need to honor the doctor patient relationship, which is vital to increase patient outcomes and wellness. Furthermore over the past 10 years, medical practice has changed dramatically becoming restrictive, rushed, and frustrating leaving most patients and doctor’s not satisfied.

 

We have chosen a practice model that affords the patient time to communicate with a Physician in hopes of creating a setting that is meaningful to both the patient and the physician. We hope that you will appreciate the difference.

Our Team

“My goal is to treat every patient uniquely, using the Osteopathic principles. Anybody can find disease; the goal of an Osteopathic physician is to find Health. “

M. Elizabeth Caron, D.O.
