Our Quality Program
The clinical practice at the Center of Integrative Medicine is coordinated by a team of physicians led by the Director, Daniel
A. Monti, MD. Each physician is experienced in working with complementary healing therapies.
Complementary therapies are a welcome addition to high-quality health care. Yet, many people are understandably confused by
the options, uncertain about quality of services available or concerned about safety. The Center is a place where you can
receive guidance and information, feel secure about the therapies we offer and be confident in the training and experience
of the providers.
We offer only therapies that have been found to be safe. Some have already been scientifically proven as effective. Other
therapies have been shown to be promising; they require more research but can be safely incorporated into a medically supervised
treatment plan.
Physicians and therapists work together closely to maintain a high standard of medical care while offering you expanded choices
in healing. Our physicians order conventional diagnostic tests and prescribe conventional treatment whenever these are appropriate.
All Center physicians are board certified in their specialty and credentialed through Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.
All other therapists have met the credentialing requirements in their respective fields. A quality-review program is coordinated
through Jefferson’s Department of Performance Improvement. Because our clinical practice is part of Thomas Jefferson University
Hospital, it shares the same high quality standards, delivering the advanced medicine and superior care for which Thomas Jefferson
University Hospital is recognized.
Our Mission
