What We Do
What We Don't Do
Trust Diagnosis To Guess Work
A thorough understanding of biology and chemistry and having the experience to know how those interact in the body allows us to narrow down the causes. Testing is used to confirm a diagnosis; it is not the first step in developing it.
There is a variety of tests available and we have access to many tests not ordinarily performed by other practitioners. We go over the details of the tests that could be considered as well as what the lab results will provide to us. Often testing not only helps in confirming a diagnosis, but also allows us to streamline treatment and make treatment faster and more effective. Not every patient will need testing but when tests are used, they are very useful for diagnosis and treatment.
Take Patients Off Of All Medications
Our clinic is not anti-drug. Patients do not have to pledge to eliminate medications from their healthcare regime when they come to our clinic. If a patient is currently on medications that are working for them, that’s fine. We will structure a treatment program that will work in tandem with those medications. If the patient wishes to be medication-free, we can design a health plan to achieve that goal as well and will work with their MD to bring the patient off medications safely.
Recommend Complicated Diets
We don’t put our patients on complicated diets or shopping bags of supplements.
Instead we work with the patient to create a workable plan that they can do. The best thought-out treatment in the world won’t work if the patient can’t maintain it on a daily basis.
Confuse Patients With Jargon
Whatever the patient’s diagnosis and treatment plan, we explain things in simple, everyday terms that anyone can understand. We make a point of not confusing our patients with medical jargon.
