Once found, he implements therapeutic interventions and monitors closely how they affect restoration of health and behaviors. Dr. Kartzinel works with Dr. Julie Buckley at Pediatric Partners. Dr. Kartzinel will present "HOUSE CALLS: Taking The Biomedical Approach Home". Dr. Rossignol received his Doctorate of Medicine at the Medical College of Virginia and completed his residency in family medicine at the University of Virginia (UVa).
