Provider Biographies
Suzette Gore, LOM - Acupuncture, Matrix Energetics, Bach Flower Remedies
Suzette is a national board certified, licensed Practitioner of Oriental Medicine in PA/NJ/NY, as well as a certified Matrix Energetics and Bach Flower Registered Practitioner. She is a graduate of the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine’s 4yr. program in NYC and has been in practice in Bucks County for more than a decade. Styles of Acupuncture include Balance Method, Tung Style, TCM, Auricular ' 5-Element, all of which are applied with a very gentle and caring touch, along with adjunct techniques like heat therapy, guasha and cupping. Traditional diagnostic methods are supplemented with computerized Digital Meridian analysis and testing with the Bio-Meridian device both allowing for greater refinement in treatment strategies and patient tracking over time.
To further balance body-mind-spirit, Bach Flower Essences may also be selected - these homeopathic remedies gently transform negative emotions into their positive vibrations, thus freeing the individual to experience greater joy, health, and fulfillment in life. Suzette is also listed on the International Registry of Bach Flower Essence Practitioners.
Additionally, patients can access new frontiers and possibilities for healing and instantaneous change with Matrix Energetics (sessions both in-office and remotely). This transformation takes place by communicating with the “wavefronts” of light and information that create all of our reality, allowing one to collapse the wave of quantum potential into new and different outcomes –it’s a process that can only be experienced vs. described!
By combining these various modalities with a dose of good humor, Suzette is passionate about bringing positive change and transformation into the lives of all her patients.
Thomas E. Sabalaske, DO - Osteopathic Manipulation

Osteopathic Manipulation is a hands-on healing technique that utilizes gentle manual force to affected areas to treat structural abnormalities and misalignments. In addition to repositioning misaligned bones, OMT allows for attention to soft tissue in order to determine the cause of the bony shifts, so that this can also be addressed and further shifting avoided. Treatments themselves are gentle and subtle but the effects long lasting.
Brad Hubbell, CH - Stress Management; Medical Hypnotherapy
Brad provides stress reduction and emotional management through both heart-rhythm biofeedback (HRV) and medical hypnotherapy to help our patients prevent, manage, and reverse the negative effects of stress and unhealthy behavior.
Using the techniques and tools of the HeartMath Company, you can learn to shift to a positive emotional state and see the effects on the computer screen right before your eyes. The change in heart rate variability immediately triggers a healthy psycho- physiologic response in your body that benefits the whole body, mind and spirit: blood pressure drops, stress hormones decrease, the immune system engages. You will feel balanced, calm, and in control.
Or experience the deeply relaxing, behavior transforming state of hypnosis. Brad has advanced certification in medical hypnotherapy from Medical Hypnotherapy Associates in North Wales, PA.
Brad enjoys using both his skills in biofeedback and hypnotherapy to work with clients motivated to achieve new levels of health and well-being.

- make choices with clarity,

- move with confidence, comfortable in “their own skin.

Meet the Office Staff
Liz Kuzmicki
Liz has nearly 20 years experience in different medical offices, including a busy gynecology practice. In addition to her expertise at the front desk, she is a Medical Assistant and is knowledgeable in relaying medical information from Dr Warner. Her laugh is infectious, and her dancing skills amazing!
Darlene Dippolito
Darlene is new to our front office staff, but not new to medical offices in Bucks County. Some of you may recognize her, as she has about a dozen years experience working the front office, doing billing and managing accounts at another office. She's always in a good mood and ready to help you out in any way she can.
Brad Hubbell (see photo above)
Brad Hubbell, when he isn't busy seeing patients, is our computer system specialist and sometime front desk person. He deals with many different issues around the office, monitors our paperless electronic medical record system, and does the trouble shooting for us. Thanks to him, we don't need a file room, and we never have to worry about losing your chart. When he's not at work with us or another computer client, he's either out pitching the practice or home with Dr. Warner. (They’ve been married since 2002).
Nellie
Nellie is our resident "pet therapist." Although she hasn't actually gone through pet therapy training, she loves to come hang out with us when she's not at home with Brad and Wendy. If you're allergic, please mention that to us when you make your appointment and we'll be sure she's not around while you're here. Also, please mention to us if you use a service animal, as Nellie is really friendly and will most likely try to divert the attention of your animal. (We generally get her out of the way when service animals are in the building).
Trooper
Trooper is Nellie's younger brother, and sometimes spends time with us at MIB. He's amazingly calm for a young Aussie, and smart as a whip. He hasn't done "pet therapy" training yet either, but his energy and enthusiasm will be sure to make you smile. If you're allergic to 4 legged friends, please let us know and we'll keep him away.
