Dr. Kenneth Bock

We often begin where conventional practitioners leave off — at the dead ends or the unanswered questions. We listen. We think. We ask questions. We listen some more. Then we get to work and we are relentless in our pursuit of the answers. We are not satisfied until we have designed a treatment plan that addresses the factors that contribute to the development of these chronic conditions.

World-renowned Integrative Medicine Doctor

As a leader in integrative medicine, Dr. Kenneth Bock has accumulated over 35 years of experience diagnosing the root cause of chronic illnesses and restoring balance to his patients’ immune systems.

Dr. Bock is a well-respected integrative medicine doctor and autism expert who focuses on the treatment of autism and co-occurring conditions, PANS/PANDAS,ITABI, tick-borne illnesses, and adult conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and heart disease. He integrates alternative modalities with conventional medicine into a comprehensive integrative medicine practice. His natural curiosity and expertise at tackling medical problems that have been difficult to diagnose and treat make him sought after by patients throughout the world as an expert at tackling complex medical problems.

After graduating Summa Cum Laude from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1973, Dr. Bock went on to earn his M.D. with Honor from the University of Rochester School of Medicine in 1979. He is board-certified in Family Medicine, a Certified Nutrition Specialist, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Family Practice, the American College of Nutrition, and the American College for Advancement in Medicine, of which he is a former President. Dr. Kenneth Bock is also a faculty member of the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM).

Dr. Bock has lectured nationally and internationally for the past three decades on a broad range of topics. His lecture topics have included integrative approaches to immune system imbalances and disorders; detoxification; and the treatment of complex chronic illness, including Lyme disease and co-infections, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, autoimmune disorders, and the integrative medicine treatment of children’s mood disorders, PANS/PANDAS/ITABI, autism, ADHD, asthma and allergies. He has written for general interest publications, including Psychology Today and Autism Digest, and has been a contributing author to numerous published articles and studies in medical journals, including The Journal of Neuroimmunology, The Journal of Public Health, American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B (Neuropsychiatric Genetics), Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, and most recently, The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine. Dr. Bock has co-authored four books, including The Road to Immunity (Pocket Books), Natural Relief for Your Child’s Asthma (Harper Collins), The Germ Survival Guide (McGraw Hill) and Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma and Allergies (Random House).

These modalities combine the latest research with well-established treatment options to formulate a highly-specialized and personalized approach to difficult to manage disorders.

Jennifer’s strength is in educating, empowering, and supporting individuals along their journey towards healing.

From a personal perspective, she is also committed to providing women quality healthcare rooted in a holistic approach.

Jennifer is married with four children, and chose the Hudson Valley as the place to call home and start her family. She loves music, food, family, and friends. Her free time is spent in her garden or outdoors with her children where she feels most grounded and at peace.

With over three decades of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of complex medical disorders, Dr. Bock has a wealth of knowledge from which to draw when determining cause and effect of chronic illnesses.

Our Only Regret Is We Didn’t Find Your Practice Sooner

“After two years of dealing with our son’s unpredictable symptoms, consulting with many doctors, and being given a variety of incorrect diagnoses, we were frustrated and anxious about his future. Then an acquaintance recommended the “medical detectives” at Bock Integrative Medicine. From the start, Dr. Bock’s compassion and knowledge of complex conditions made us confident that he could help. He took the time to listen, combining what he learned about our son’s background with research-based science to develop a diagnosis and treatment plan that improved our son’s well being. Our only regret is that we didn’t consult with the wonderful team of experts at Bock Integrative Medicine sooner.”
