Practice Description

Based on the current direction of my practice, I have updated my practice description:

Denise Punger MD IBCLC is a family physician who has very specialized interests and skills. Although she continues to do 'regular' family medicine: school physicals, routine checks, and treat common infections, new patients come to her because of her unique gift and love for breastfeeding medicine, minimally-invasive well-baby care, appreciation for birth plans, attachment-parenting philosophy, and selective vaccination schedules. She has been evaluating newborns with tongue-tie and preforming office frenotomies for over 15 years to preserve the nursing relationship. She supports prevention through nutrition, respects food sensitivities, and understands how hormone balance influence mood and overall well-being in the adult. She's been prescribing bio-identicals over 8 years. She is the author of Permission to Mother and she has a strong online presence and welcomes contact from patients and potential patients through the social media and the website. Patients travel, e-mail, and call for consults from all over.

I haven't been blogging much (or at all). I do have some topics I would like to write about that take up more space than facebook. So, I may be back.... It seems I can't keep up with the changes on the blog and it is hard for readers to leave blog comments. I am active on my personal facebook profile and my business profile (Punger Family Medicine). I have a "Permission to Mother" facebook page, also. They all kind of overlap. I post at Instagram. I have a Pinterest Account; one day I will start pinning. Thank you for your continued interest in following me.
