“I saw patients who where sick and begged for someone to do something for them. I knew in my heart that help should have started many years earlier,” says Dr. Rouzier, “I know that to be a good doctor, all you had to do was treat these long-standing illnesses and get good results; but I believe to be a great doctor, I have to prevent my patients from getting sick in the first place.”

Dr. Rouzier continues, “I chose to study and learn how to prevent illness, help people get well and to also help them to stay well.”

Dr. Rouzier is a graduate of UCLA Medical Center where he not only served his internship, but also residencies in family practice and emergency medicine. After completing these residency programs, Dr. Rouzier attended the University of San Francisco where he performed additional residency training in occupational and environmental medicine. He is board certified in emergency medicine.

Dr. Rouzier continues practicing his specialty at Queen of the Valley Hospital in West Covina where he was medical director of prehospital care and assistant director of the emergency department, as well as maintaining his faculty appointment to the UCLA Medical Center.

Today, in addition to being Preventive Medicine Clinics of the Desert's medical director, Dr. Rouzier maintains an active and essential role specializing in preventive medicine, natural hormone replacement therapy and family medicine. His expertise has earned him international recognition and he is highly sought as a lecturer and trainer in his specialty of preventive medicine and natural hormone replacement therapy. Dr. Rouzier regularly teaches physicians from around the world on how to prescribe and monitor hormones for their patients. His seminar, “Practicing Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy: The Effects of Hormonal Therapies on Quality of Life Issues,” is widely attended and considered a "must" for physicians who prescribe hormone therapy for their patients.

Dr. Rouzier book "Natural Hormone Replacement for Men and Women: How to Achieve Healthy Aging and How to Achieve Healthy Aging" (now in its second edition) has made him a world-renowned author. He regularly lectures to such esteemed groups as The American College for Advancement in Medicine, the American Academy for Anti-Aging Medicine, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine, the American Society for Bariatric Physicians, the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgeons.

“The Preventive Medicine Clinics of the Desert is a unique medical practice,” says Dr. Rouzier, “We have three goals — find the right diagnosis, give the right treatment and help people to get what they want and need.”

This practice is different from every other practice in the Coachella Valley. Dr. Rouzier and his associate, Dr. Allen Lawrence, not only work with standard Western medical modalities, but also with integrative medical treatments such as nutritional counseling, IV vitamin-mineral infusions, chelation and IV hydrogen peroxide treatments.

Dr. Rouzier says that he long ago realized that if people are not in optimal hormonal balance, they not only have physical and emotional symptoms as well as medical problems from their imbalances, but their immune system and their ability to defend themselves from illness is compromised, and they get sick.

“If these imbalances are not recognized and set right, no matter how much medication they take, they stay sick,” says Dr. Rouzier. “Our goal is to return our patients to optimal hormonal, nutritional and physical balance. When we do this, people get better and their life becomes so much better, and they become so much more healthy and happy.”

When asked what types of people are most commonly seen at the Preventive Medicine Clinics of the Desert, Dr. Rouzier responded, “We have two types of patients we see regularly. Most often, we see those people who are looking for or are already using alternative or integrative medical care and are looking for a practitioner who understands what they want and need. We literally have hundreds of people who want to have control over their lives and either do not want to take medications or want to do this using more natural methods.

“The second group,” he says, “are those people who have medical problems and are either not getting better using allopathic (standard Western medical treatments) or they simply want to add integrative methods to the traditional medical treatments they are already using. Both are welcome, and we never try to convert people to do it one way or the other. We simply help them the way they feel is best for them.”
