Helpful, Compassionate Doctors Committed to Your Wellbeing
Health conditions that impact quality of life can be both disruptive and frustrating. While pharmaceuticals may offer temporary relief, they often come with side effects and the risk of addiction.
According to a recent survey of our patients, medical cannabis is being used to treat anxiety, pain, stress, insomnia, and for general relaxation and enjoyment, among other reasons, all without the side effects associated with pharmaceuticals.
Your Sanctuary Wellness Institute medical marijuana doctor has extensive experience with medical marijuana certifications and will make sure you're well-informed and comfortable with the process in Pennsylvania.
Call us at (570) 301-6149 or book online to get started.
