It wasn't until December of 1995, when his wife became unexplainably
fatigued that he explored integrative medicine. Through the
direct teachings of Majid Ali, M.D. (President of the American
Academy of Preventive Medicine) and through their study of
Andrew Weil, M.D., Deepak Chopra, M.D., Stephen Sinatra. M.D.,
and John Lee, M.D., Dr. and Mrs. Gonino were able to bring
her back to health. Today they have instituted a fifteen point
wellness program that has a large number of success stories
and expects many more in the future.

Susan
Attel R.N., MSN, FNP |
Susan received
her Bachelors degree in nursing from Baylor University School
of Nursing in 1999. She began her nursing career in neurology
at Parkland, where she developed an interest in community
health through the epilepsy outreach program. It was this
interest that led her to graduate school, to pursue an independent
role in community health. In December, 2003, she received
her Masters Degree in Nursing at the University of Texas at
Arlington.
Susan's interest in integrative health began with back pain
that was relieved by a combination of medical treatment, physical
therapy, energy healing and relaxation breathing exercises.
After an accident led to chronic neck pain, she again turned
to integrative medicine, and was greatly assisted with the
combination of therapies. Prayer, meditation, and yoga were
also invaluable during this time. With the education of Western
medicine and experience with integrative medicine, it seems
only natural for her to become part of the Gonino Wellness
Group. She looks forward to being with others in their journey
of wellness and integration in this environment of well being
and openness.
Susan and her husband Tim have a young son who fills their
home with joy and laughter, the best medicine! They also have
a German shorthair pointer who is truly man’s (and boy’s)
best friend. She travels to visit family and friends as often
as possible, especially home to Louisiana. She participates
as a community member in an international organization that
keeps communication and fulfillment as what’s most important,
even in difficult circumstances. This can lead to powerfully
connected healing with her patients. As Dr. Gonino says, Love
Heals!

She became interested in the Gonino Wellness philosophy when
she spent time during a clinical rotation with Susan and Dr.
Gonino in their office. She was impressed with the idea of trying
to solve health problems, instead of placing a “Band-Aid”
on them. Liking the idea of helping patients live life to the
fullest, she became part of their staff in May of 2007.
Sue, her husband, their two teenage children, and their Westie
live in Rowlett. They are always busy with band, soccer, harp,
and dance. Her husband, Doug, is an assistant principal at Rowlett

patients with chronic illness. She believes the Gonino Wellness
Group has so much more to offer when looking for answers to
managing illnesses of any kind and moving on with a happy, healthy
life.
