Funda M. Gulmen, N.D., M.S.

Experienced Clinician - Dedicated Teacher - International Humanitarian

Dr. Gulmen has participated in many aspects of healthcare throughout her
career.  She began working in public health research by interviewing
homeless individuals for an HIV/TB transmission risk project for the
University of California - San Francisco.  Later she went on to conduct
original basic science research for the Committee on Immunology and
coordinate clinical research projects for the Department of Rheumatology at
the University of Chicago.  She has provided lectures to both public and
professional audiences locally and internationally.  For instance, she
offered a seminar on natural medicine approaches for arthritis to the
medical staff at Beijing United Family Hospital in China. She also created a
mind-body medicine, hydrotherapy and physiology curriculum as a clinical
supervisor and classroom instructor for medical students.  Her original
research has appeared in publications such as
The Journal of Biological
Chemistry, The American Journal of Chinese Medicine
and the Textbook of
Alternative and Complementary Medicine
.  Dr. Gulmen was also
responsible for developing the first-ever naturopathic international medical
brigade to Nicaragua in collaboration with Natural Doctors International.
She has been an active community volunteer such as being part of the NYC
marathon/triathlon medical triage team, providing Reiki to patients at the
oncology center at Yale New Haven Hospital and mentoring students
interested in health profession careers. Additionally, she is a 200-hr
certified
yoga instructor.  She believes the breadth and depth of her
experience in healthcare allow her to offer comprehensive and
compassionate care to her patients. Dr. Gulmen's primary goal is to:

        
 "empower people to live their best lives"

Her family medical practice is broad and open to every member of the
family at every stage of life – men, women, children, teens and seniors.

"It is my pleasure to highly recommend Dr.
Gulmen to anyone who is interested in a truly
integrated and open minded health
experience. She is empathic and able to meet
her patients where they are, be it fully holistic
or somewhere inbetween Western and
Eastern medicines. She helped me through a
challenging time and I am forever grateful for
her support. I have her cards on display in my
own practice for my own clients to see and
take. I don't know of any higher compliment I
could offer."
