DR. CHRISTOPHER NARAINE
INTEGRATIVE GYNECOLOGIST/SURGEON
MD, FACOG, FABOIM
Dr. Naraine holds dual physician board-certification in Gynecology & Minimally Invasive Surgery and Integrative Medicine. He is dedicated to helping his patients achieve optimal functional wellness by providing comprehensive, patient-centered medical care. As an Integrative Gynecologist/Surgeon, he combines evidence-based conventional medicine with complementary therapies to help each patient find the correct balance to overcome a wide range of medical conditions. As your health partner, his goal is to empower you to navigate your recovery from illness and surgery or enhance your current health status, whichever is your goal.
Dr. Naraine successfully completed his medical training with the designation of Distinguished Academic Performance at Hahnemann University School of Medicine/Drexel University and completed residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center where he served as Chief Resident. He served as the Medical Director for an OB/GYN practice and has been the recipient of the Physician Recognition Award from the American Medical Association. He was presented with multiple recognition awards for training resident physicians throughout his career.
He specialized in advanced laparoscopic and pelvic reconstuctive surgery which provided valuable insight into the common conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, and pelvic pain that results from the changes in anatomy and physiology that follows aging and childbirth. As a surgeon , he has a true appreciation for what physical inner wellness means. The emotional journey he has walked with patients during the surgical process, childbirth, infertility , pregnancy planning , heart-breaking pregnancy loss or complication , and difficult postpartum recovery has imparted a deep understanding of the faces of emotional distress and how important emotional/mental and spiritual wellness is to true health and happiness. The pain and beauty of our collective humanity has consciously guided his connection with patients throughout his medical practice and continues to be a source of inspiration to him to always strive to do better.
This emotional awareness led him to an understanding that the multi-dimensional aspects of every patient includes body,mind ,and spirit. True healing must occur in all of these aspects to regain complete good health and happiness. The design of the current medical system does not adequately account for these vital needs of every patient. Fellowship training in Integrative Medicine for 2 years has refined Dr. Naraine’s clincal skills in these areas to provide you with well- balanced and complete medical care. Under the tutelage of Dr. Andrew Weil, the pioneer of this field of Medicine, he learned the true art of healing using effective holistic treatment modalities in personalized care plans to address the root causes of illness and accentuate functional wellness.
He views it as an honor to uphold the sacred trust that has always underscored the partnership of the patient and the physcian/surgeon. In the final analysis, it is this doorway through which we all leave suffering and find healing; both the healer and the healed.
