INITIAL VISIT
At Whole-Body Medicine, the initial visit concerning your health care needs is quite comprehensive. You and your doctor discuss your current health status and what goals you would like to achieve. Many patients are
interested in fine-tuning and maintaining their health and vitality in an effort to pursue an anti-aging strategy, while other may have more serious ailments ranging from neurological conditions to an unexplained decline in overall health and wellness.
We view your health care needs through a 'whole-body' approach; therefore, our initial visit will explore all aspects of your mental, physical, and emotional health. Because there are many contributing factors to disease, aging, and your current state of wellness, a whole-body approach may uncover pertinent, underlying clues related to your health concern that will enable us to choose a proper course of treatment. We also like to think of ourselves as your personal health care 'coach'; we will teach you ways not only to improve your current health, but to live life with an optimal state of wellness so that you may prevent disease and age gracefully.
At Whole-Body Medicine, we do not treat the specific disease or condition, but rather, we treat the entire patient in an effort to bring your mental, physical and emotional health back to into proper balance. Our patients often find, that as we strengthen the body's ability to heal, other seemingly unrelated conditions begin disappear as well. We believe that doctors do not cure, only the body can cure itself; our job is to help provide you with the assistance necessary and to remove any barriers that may be preventing your body from healing.
"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease." Thomas A. Edison
