Dr. James Neuenschwander, M.D.

Dr. Neu is a Michigan native who has always been called to be a physician.  After completing an undergraduate, honors degree in molecular biology at the University of Michigan in three years, he attended the University of Michigan Medical School where he earned his M.D. degree.  Much to his disillusionment, he discovered in medical school that medicine was not about healing people but was about controlling symptoms.  He was accepted into the residency program in general surgery at the University of Michigan Hospitals.  In his third year, he had an epiphany.  He was exposed, first hand, to alternative healing methods; and this made him aware that there was an entire world of healing that he did not learn of in medical school.  As a result of this experience, he was trained in herbal and homeopathic medicine through self study and internship with master practitioners and ultimately left his surgical residency.  He began BEMC in 1988 with two other partners who have subsequently gone their own ways.  Dr. Neu also practiced and became board certified in emergency medicine as well as being trained as an acupuncturist.  His philosophy is that we are designed to be well—illness results when something is preventing that wellness.  Discover and treat that something, and the body heals itself.  Dr. Neu brings this philosophy along with a wealth of knowledge, experience, empathy, and a true caring for people to each patient encounter.

Laura Goldman, APRN, BC

Nurse Practitioner

Laura graduated with her undergraduate degree in nursing from Wayne State University in 1982.  Since that time, she has worked in a variety of emergency settings.   In addition to working in community and tertiary hospital emergency departments, Laura also spent several years flying with the Survival Flight helicopter program at the University of Michigan. Four years ago, Laura made the tough decision to leave clinical nursing and return to school.  This past May, she graduated from U. of M. with a Masters in Nursing, then subsequently passed her certification exam for Family Nurse Practitioner.  “I love having my own practice.  In this role, I am able to establish close, long-term relationships with my patients.”

Laura joined the Bio Energy Medical Center practice this summer.  She specializes in family practice and same day urgent appointments, but also assists Dr. Neu with many alternative medicine patients.  “I especially enjoy women’s health issues”, says Laura.  “Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy helps so many women go through menopause more comfortably.  I can offer patients the choice of alternative or traditional therapies for their health concerns.”

Obesity is a major concern of many patients, and Bio Energy Medical Center now offers a new weight loss program.  Laura works closely with many patients who are losing weight quickly and safely. “It’s about much more than body weight,” she says.  “A patients physical, mental and spiritual condition play equal roles in overall health.  We pay attention to the whole individual.”
