Most diseases are worthy challengers. They do not reflect simple, one-dimensional problems. They require that you learn everything you can about them and make some lifestyle changes to give your body the tools necessary to heal. Today, we face a myriad of health problems virtually unheard of a few years ago. Even long-standing problems like cancer, heart disease, and arthritis are assailing us in ever-increasing numbers. People are developing degenerative illnesses at an earlier age, and diseases rarely seen in children or young adults are becoming much more prevalent. It is for this reason that emphasis should be placed on active intervention and prevention, as well as patient education. Our healthcare approach incorporates several steps in order to achieve optimum health and well being:

* Initial Assessment: Before beginning any treatment regimen, you will be scheduled for an initial evaluation with our medical director. This 90-minute evaluation will be very comprehensive and will consist of a thorough medical history, a comprehensive discussion regarding your current health situation, and a physical examination when warranted. It will also be your time to discuss your current health problems, as well as your treatment and management options.

* Diagnostic Evaluation: At the time of your initial evaluation, it will be recommended that you undergo specific laboratory testing to further determine your health situation. All of the labs that we utilize are very helpful in determining more about your overall health, including your immune system, your digestive system, any potential toxins that may be present, or the general nutritional status of your cells. Further treatment recommendations will be made based on the results of these tests.

* Treatment Programs: You may begin treatment after discussing your options with our healthcare team. We utilize a number of treatments designed to repair cellular damage, replace vitamin and mineral deficiencies, restore normal cellular functioning, treat bacterial, fungal, or viral infections, and improve nutritional status. You will have ample time to discuss these treatment options with the medical staff prior to initiation of any therapies.
