Welcome to Totum, where every patient has their own team of doctors who carefully consider their unique biology, ecology and biography. Together we will find your path to vibrant health.
OUR VISION
To create a culture of medicine rooted in our innate interconnectedness, through clinics that offer the highest form of integrative care.

OUR MODEL
Our integrative model is structured around each individual patient. We believe every patient has a unique biology, biography and ecology that should be carefully considered. Every patient has a team of three doctors, consisting of a Naturopathic Physician, an Osteopathic Physician and a Mind-Body Physician, who work together synergistically to ensure all areas of health have been assessed before creating their care plan.
OUR BELIEF
Healing is inherently a collaborative endeavor that thrives on the synergy of diverse perspectives and expertise. The simultaneous care for the body’s individual adaptive mechanisms liberate the body’s innate capacity for self-healing of the whole system.

WHOLE PERSON CARE
Our aim is to treat you as a whole, rather than getting lost in prior diagnoses. However, these are some challenges that people who work with us tend to experience.

OUR PROVIDERS
Dr. Minna Kim has been practicing naturopathic medicine since 2008 and is co-founder and owner of Integrative Family Medicine of CT in Stamford, CT. She firmly believes in the meaning of doctor, which comes from the Latin docere: to teach. Educating her patients allows her to address health issues as a team and empowers patients to be active in their own wellness to achieve true healing. Health and vitality are the natural state of the human body and mind. Dr.Kim’s goal is to harness her patients’ innate self-healing capabilities to restore balance and harmony. “In addition to understanding and treating the patient’s illness, I aim to understand the patient with the illness, developing a relationship that allows for care, trust and open communication.”
Dr. Geis is a traditional Osteopathic Physician specializing in Neuromuscular Medicine (NMM) and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM). He completed his residency training and was the Chief Resident at one of the top programs in the country for NMM/OMM at St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx, NY. He has a special empathy for patients in pain. Having suffered from childhood illness and multiple injuries he experienced personal chronic pain and the frustration commonly caused by our “modern” system of medicine. After exhausting diagnostic evaluations and a revolving cycle of medications Dr. Geis sought “alternative” approaches to healing that helped give him his life back. Because of this journey he knows and understands the daily struggles, commitments and sacrifices it takes to put one’s life back together. Inspired by the benefits and successes achieved through integrative medicine Dr. Geis has made restoring the body’s health his life’s profession.
