Brief Intro

Dr. Douglas Hopper is a physician specializing in standard family practice and psychiatry, with an added focus on holistic medicine. He primarily treats Attention Deficit Disorder and anxiety, often utilizing medication as part of his approach. Dr. Hopper completed a three-year residency at UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute in 1968, followed by a one-year residency at UCLA/Santa Monica Hospital in 1972.He encourages patients to understand their metabolic types when choosing diets. Dr. Hopper is particularly interested in helping those with persistent symptoms that have eluded diagnosis for years, such as bloating, fatigue, various aches and pains, poor sleep, depression, headaches, back pain, arthritis, and colitis. He advocates for T3 treatments and low-dose naltrexone, as well as a unique dietary recommendation of seven servings per day of colorful vegetables, a practice that few people consistently follow.Additionally, Dr. Hopper assists patients in navigating the complex medical system, advising on which specialists to consult for specific symptoms. He prefers using Restorative Formulations as his nutrient supplier. He is board certified in Family Practice and board eligible in Psychiatry. Dr. Hopper is also conversational in Spanish and French.A notable moment from his youth includes a photograph with Dwight Eisenhower, taken when he was 17. At that time, he was elected president of Boys Nation, similar to Bill Clinton, and had the honor of pinning Ike with an honorary membership in the American Legion.
