Connect Health was founded in 2011 by two MDs, Dr. Lawrence Cheng and Dr. Ashley Riskin who saw the need for a more proactive, preventative and systems based approach to health and healing. They have a unique and broad perspective on healthcare through their emergency medicine backgrounds and additional training including the Fellowship in Integrative Medicine (University of Arizona) and are both Certified Functional Medicine Practitioners.

We continue to look for additional tools and frameworks to help us understand the root causes of problems and how to best help our patients optimal health. We believe the future of medicine is personalized and precision medicine combining genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics in advanced imaging techniques to early detect disease when it's most amenable to treatment and reversal.
