In 1966, Dr. Contreras, Sr. went on a tour of the Apostle Paul's missionary travels. When the tour guide discovered that Dr. Contreras was a physician, he took him to see an ancient healing center in Pergamum. Dr. Contreras' eyes were opened as he learned that the healing process included emotional, spiritual and medical therapies. At that moment, he realized the problem with modern medicine was that doctors had forgotten that a person has a body, mind and spirit. The focus had become the illness instead of the body.[Healthy living]

In response, Dr. Contreras, Sr. began his mission to provide therapies to improve the quality of physical, mental and spiritual lives of his patients. This approach requires that our physicians utilize a special blend of science, medicine, faith and compassion.

The Oasis of Hope team will do everything medically possible and help you take healing steps. Though human resources can fall short of the challenge, God is with us. We turn to God to perform miracles.  For this reason, we have hope. Because we love our patients as ourselves and are bound by oath to do them no harm, we only offer therapies that have the potential to improve the patient's health without compromising the quality of his/her life. If we determine that a juice therapy will be beneficial, we offer it. If we believe that a conventional therapy is necessary, we will make it available, but it will be administered in a way that will not cause the negative side effects generally associated with conventional therapies.

It’s our goal to provide your body, mind and spirit all of the resources necessary to overcome the adversity you are experiencing.
