About DCIM
The District Center for Integrative Medicine (DCIM), founded and directed by Dr. Anjali Dsouza, heals patients through a deeply individualized and holistic approach to health. We treat individuals with chronic complaints and conditions that persist despite the conventional managed-care model, as well as those looking to achieve the highest level of wellness. By prioritizing the patient-physician relationship, we take the time and resources to understand every aspect of your medical history, as well as nutritional and environmental factors that affect your well-being. Our role is to acknowledge your body’s innate capacity to heal, and to cultivate it.
Our History
Dr. Dsouza started the District Center for Integrative Medicine (DCIM) in 2016 after 8 years of running her own practice. Her vision for DCIM is for it to be a holistic place of healing, using Integrative and Functional Medicine approaches. She partners with other complementary providers (acupuncture, Chinese medicine, naturopathic medicine, psychological care), some of which are co-located with the Center.

The DCIM Difference
Patient-Centered
Care
Your journey at DCIM begins with a comprehensive 90-minute initial consultation, significantly longer than the typical medical appointment. This allows us to delve deeply into your health history and lifestyle from birth to the present, identifying any vulnerabilities and crafting a care plan tailored specifically to you. We focus on what matters to you, striving to enhance your quality of life and enable you to achieve your health goals.
Natural
Interventions First
We prioritize natural interventions over pharmaceutical solutions whenever possible. Our team is extensively trained in nutrition and nutraceuticals, offering high-quality support that minimizes reliance on medications, which often come with a heavier burden of side effects. This approach not only supports your body’s own healing processes but also reduces the potential complications of multiple medications.
Building Meaningful Relationships
At DCIM, we cherish the relationships we build with our patients. You are not just a number or a case to us; you are a person with dreams, goals, and desires. Our commitment to understanding who you are and what you wish to achieve with your health creates a nurturing and supportive environment that many find to be a transformative experience.
