Eden Medical Center physicians offer insight and advice on a wide range of health and wellness issues in these bi-weekly columns that appear in Bay Area News Group Newspapers (The Daily Review, Oakland Tribune, Alameda Times Star, Fremont Argus, San Mateo Times, and Tri-Valley Herald).

Our physicians also pen a monthly medical column for the Castro Valley Forum and San Leandro Times, local weekly papers that offer a wealth of community information.

If you have a suggestions for a column or a question for one of our doctors that could appear in a future column, send us an e-mail, and we may include the answer in our next health column.
