Dr. Michael Geci-Black

Dr. Michael Geci-Black received his MD at The Medical College of Georgia in 1993. He completed an emergency medicine residency at the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in 1996.

After a decade of practicing clinical emergency medicine and the birth of his son, Joshua, Dr. Geci (pronounced get-see) began exploring aspects of alternative medicine. He became board certified in holistic medicine and opened Whole Health & Healing, an alternative medicine clinic in 2007.

Dr. Geci owns an organic farm in upstate New York where he favors the allium family and loves to ride the hills of the northern Catskills on his road bike.

Dr. Mike’s interest in botanical medicine has culminated in the therapeutic applications of using medicinal cannabinoids to treat numerous diseases. Dr. Mike feels passionately that cannabis represents a true aspect of health care reform. The plant gives patients a real clinical alternative in many clinical conditions.

Over the course of the first several months in which Dr. Mike evaluated patients for the state-approved use of medical cannabis (MT 148), he saw the need for cannabis to truly be treated like a medicine. “No other herbal supplement, over-the-counter medicine, or pharmaceutical drug is dispensed to the public without some type of chemical labeling attached . . . except cannabis. We wanted to change that and make cannabis a more legitimate and accepted medicine.”

Montana Botanical Analysis was born.
