Medical Exams

What to expect

Before beginning any treatment regimen, you will be scheduled for an initial evaluation. This evaluation will consist of collecting a thorough medical history,a discussion regarding your current health situation, a physical examination when warranted, diagnostic testing and treatment options. Maybe you don’t have a serious illness, but simply want to improve your health, live with vigor and prevent disease. Our care also focuses on wellness and prevention.

We prescribe pharmaceuticals only when they are deemed medically necessary after a complete physical exam. Natural therapies such as lifestyle modifications, nutrition, supplements or herbal remedies are preferred over pharmacological  but there are certain medically necessary health conditions where the integration of  pharmaceuticals is a necessity.

Diagnosis of disease may not happen at your first visit:

Patients may present with a set of symptoms that are exactly related to a specific disease.  In those situations, the doctor will make a diagnosis at the first visit. The issue with most patients is that their symptoms may be related to a multitude of diseases. Our goal is to find the root causes of disease which requires us to look at a person’s lifestyle to determine risk factors that may cause disease such as: diet, sleep, environmental contributors and emotional health. This information assists your Practitioner in determining which medically necessary tests or referrals are needed that may aid in determining or confirming diagnoses. Once disease processes are identified, we can create a customized medical plan which specifically addresses each issue, instead of guessing at what may be the problem and prescribing pharmacological and supplements blindly, based off of symptoms alone
