After completing his formal training, Doctor Lans was appointed to the faculty of Albert Einstein Medical School, where he engaged in clinical practice, teaching medical students and postgraduate trainees, and conducting research.
Private Practice Focus & Philosophy
In time, Doctors Lans opened his practice in New Rochelle, NY with the desire to treat his patients through integrative medicine; combining a traditional approach with functional medicine.
