Bio
Biography
Since completing residency, Dr. Gudzune has engaged in additional clinical training in the area of weight management, as well as completing a clinical research fellowship focused on obesity at Johns Hopkins. Her current research focuses on the impact of obesity on the patient-physician relationship and how social relationships and social networks influence body weight.
In her practice, Dr. Gudzune uses an integrative approach to design weight management plans that blend conventional methods of diet, exercise and medications with other modalities such as behavioral therapy, massage, and acupuncture.
