Over 19 million people call the wonderful state of New York “home.” From the winding, tree-lined roads of areas like Dutchess County, Westchester County, Chautauqua County, Saratoga County, Suffolk County and Putnam County to the energetic city streets of Manhattan, Queens, The Bronx and Brooklyn, families in New York live, work and play in a variety of settings that encompass almost 55,000 square miles. Many of the vibrant and energetic residents of New York like to spend their free time outdoors, walking the streets of nearby cities or hiking, playing and relaxing in beautiful parks like Niagara Falls State Park, Devil’s Hole State Park, Lake George, Thacher State Park, and Sonnenberg Gardens. But when you or your child experience a chronic illness that doctors are having difficulty diagnosing and treating, frustrating, mysterious symptoms can force you to stop doing the things you enjoy. That’s when you need a caring team of medical experts that dedicate themselves to determining the cause of your complex chronic medical disorder and developing an individualized treatment plan that can help you get back to your normal life.
Board-certified in Family Medicine, Dr. Bock has more than 35 years of experience addressing the complex medical issues of his New York patients by combining his expertise in evidence-based medicine with his passion for solving intricate problems. The medical experts at Bock Integrative Medicine employ a root-cause strategy, exposing the layers of imbalance, inflammation and infection to discover the real source of your symptoms. Using a functional approach to diagnosis and treatment, we carefully consider each patient’s lifestyle and background, including possible genetic and environmental causes of illness. Our goal is to safely improve the health of our chronically ill patients in New York by developing practical, research-supported treatment programs personalized to each individual’s unique condition and contributing factors.
What Is Integrative Medicine?
Integrative medicine is an evidence-based approach to diagnosis and healing that considers all of a patient’s lifestyle factors and employs traditional as well as more comprehensive treatment methods. As practitioners with expertise in adult and pediatric integrative medicine, the board-certified providers at Bock Integrative look for sources of imbalance that are causing physical reactions, like inflammation or oxidative stress, and seek to address these problems using the most appropriate individualized immune, hormonal, nutritional, metabolic, psychosocial and antimicrobial therapies. Dr. Bock and his staff are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of multi-symptom, multisystem disorders, including Lyme disease and co-infections, autoimmune disease, PANS and PANDAS (ITABI), Autism and co-occurring conditions, and:
At Bock Integrative We Don’t Just Treat Symptoms
Evidence-based Diagnosis and Personalized Treatment Plans
With over three decades of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of complex medical disorders, Dr. Bock has a wealth of knowledge from which to draw when determining cause and effect of chronic illnesses. He recognizes that the combination of factors that can contribute to any chronic medical condition differs for each person and uses integrative/functional medicine to diagnose and treat these often-frustrating illnesses in children, teens and adults. Rather than only trying to manage your symptoms, he takes a comprehensive “whole person” approach to evaluate everything you are exposed to, and their effects. Dr. Bock then incorporates validated lab results and decades of diagnostic experience to develop an evidence-based diagnosis on which to base a highly personalized treatment regimen.
Our research-supported treatment plans typically involve individualized combination therapy that may include IV immune modulators (such as IVIG), vitamin and mineral therapy, herbal therapy, chelation therapy, and dietary modifications, as well as antibiotics and other medications as needed to treat acute problems, including infection. With any treatment plan, safety is our top priority. When we prescribe pharmaceuticals, we are careful to use supplements, herbs and nutritional support to protect the liver and gut. We move forward with caution when implementing any treatment plan, using an iterative process to evaluate results often and make adjustments as needed.

Top-Rated New York Integrative Medicine Doctors
Excellent Diagnosticians!
When our daughter got sick, we were scared. Her symptoms were unpredictable and kept recurring over several years, yet none of her doctors were able to give us a clear diagnosis or treat her symptoms effectively. Then the “medical detectives” at Bock Integrative Medicine gave our daughter her life back. Dr. Bock took time to listen to our story and combined what we told him about our daughter’s background with his knowledge of complex medical conditions and research-based science. He diagnosed our daughter’s illness and developed a treatment plan that got her back to doing the things she enjoys. We recommend the compassionate team of experts at Bock Integrative Medicine to anyone experiencing a chronic illness.
