Traditional medicine bowl with essential oils and mint At the Center for Healing Neurology, based in Seattle, we believe integrative medicine, an approach that combines traditional and alternative care, best addresses the root causes of disease and creates a clear path to optimal neurological health.

We specialize in both the simple and complex, the acute and chronic because we understand how all can affect quality of life.

As board-certified physicians, we use traditional or allopathic medicine that is founded on evidence-based research through rigorous randomized control trials. Our team carefully decides which conventional neurological treatments and procedures we use in our practice. Some of these services include pharmaceuticals, infusions, diagnostic care, non-invasive procedures, and imaging techniques.

Although alternative medicine is less rigorously tested, when used with expertise, it can help manage the side effects of disease and conventional treatments as well as help guide the body back to its natural state of balance.

What we do: We care. We listen. We understand.
Who we are: Board-certified neurologists, certified physician assistants, and a neurology naturopath.
What we offer: Integrative and Regenerative Neurological Medicine based on the needs of the patient. We specialize in complex, chronic, and complicated neurological and systemic disorders.

We value our patients and we value our relationship with them. We do not take insurance because insurance reimbursement does not represent the inherent value of our connection and relationships with our patients.

Initial consultation includes history, examination, and discussion. It is 90 minutes and $500. Thereafter, it is up to you. It can be a la carte or a choice of different package levels. For our out-of-state and international patients, we now offer telemedicine appointments through VSee clinic. Please call 206-379-1213 or email info@centerforhealingneurology.com for more information or for scheduling.

Dr. Ruhoy also has a limited member concierge program. Please email info@centerforhealingneurology.com for more information.

Our priority is your happiness, health, and longevity, and we believe the best way to achieve this is through a thoughtful combination of traditional and alternative medical services.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) provides 100% oxygen under pressure, which increases oxygenation of tissues. This increased oxygen hastens recovery from many inflammatory conditions including brain injury, chronic pain, neuropathy, musculoskeletal injuries, vasculopathy, and even migraines. HBOT therapy is an important part of our brain injury and mitochondrial repair program and is also used to optimize our regenerative therapies. Buy oxygen therapy now >

Peptide Therapies

Peptides are biologically active and play critical roles in cellular signalling. Several peptides have been shown to have pronounced effect on systemic and neuroinflammation and are a key component in our brain repair programs. Made up of amino acids, peptides are efficient catalysts for physiological processes such as neurotransmitter metabolism and mitochondrial function. Our current offerings for neuroprotection and neuroprevention are included in our programs for TBI, Cognitive Decline, Autoimmunity, Chronic Pain, Regeneration, Weight Loss, and Optimal Wellness.

Regenerative Medicine

The body is continually finding equilibrium between repair and breakdown through constant regenerative processes to counteract the constant turnover of cells. Regenerative medicine therapies like Perineural Therapy, Prolotherapy and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) help to shift the body back towards repair allowing the bodies natural healing response. Learn more about our regenerative medicine services…

Stem Cell Therapy

We are investigating the use of Adipose Derived Stromal vascular Fraction (SVF) for patient-funded clinical research and deployment for joint repair and systemic inflammatory conditions under IRB protocols.

Supplementation

Our food and dietary choices do not always provide all the nutrients, vitamins, and elements we need for optimal wellness. Broad approaches such as multi-vitamins are generally not effective since they do not contain proper dosages, but supplementation that is targeted to the symptom or disease can help maintain balance. We will guide you towards more targeted supplementation for optimal efficiency and effectiveness.

Toxicology and De-toxification

Our world can be toxic and this can lead to sub-optimal health and wellbeing. While a former contractor with the EPA, Dr. Ruhoy’s doctoral dissertation researched pharmaceutical residues in our waters and her follow-up paper addressed optimal prescribing by physicians to reduce risk of exposure. She applies this knowledge when considering how a patient’s environment is contributing to their symptoms.
