Dr. Bradley Bale and Dr. Amy Doneen are international leaders in the prevention of heart attacks, strokes, type 2 diabetes, and chronic disease such as dementia and heart failure. They Co-founded the BaleDoneen Method in 1999, which has shown in peer-reviewed studies to effectively identify, stabilize and reverse arterial disease.

Using a genetic, precision-based approach, the BaleDoneen Method treats each patient as a unique and special individual.

Both share academic appointments at Texas Tech Health Sciences, University of Kentucky of College of Dentistry and Washington State University College of Medicine. Dr. Doneen owns The Heart Attack & Stroke Prevention Center in Spokane Washington: an international center for patient treatment and provider training through the BaleDoneen Academy.
