The Spirit of Collaboration

by Patients Medical 10/6/2009

As our practice has grown over the years, we have fostered a uniquely collaborative atmosphere among our doctors and practitioners.  Conventional doctors are often satisfied with tying a symptom to a particular illness, but at Patients Medical, we strive to uncover the root cause of your ailments.  To accomplish this, we always approach our patients’ health issues from several different angles, bringing in the expertise of as many specialists as your case calls for.

When you visit Patients Medical, you’ll find that your initial interview is much longer than what you would experience in a regular doctor’s office. Rather than a quick 10 minute assessment and diagnosis, we take a full hour getting to know your personal medical history to understand your symptoms.  During this first meeting, we also begin formulating your treatment plan, for which we may call upon other doctors in our practice. Many of our cases are handled by teams of doctors and practictioners, rather than a single physician, so that each may weigh in on your diagnosis, apply their expertise, and help steer your treatment program as you recover.

Not only does this collaborative approach help our doctors come up with health care solutions and strategies more efficiently, it greatly benefits you, the patient, in several ways:

Consistent Care

Because your doctors and practitioners at Patients Medical communicate with each other regularly about your case, they can offer you more consistent care. Each doctor, being aware of all the treatments you are receiving, will be more attuned to the changes in your health and how each treatment may influence your symptoms. If you are receiving treatments for several different health issues, we can better ensure that combinations of treatments are safe and effective, as well. Perhaps most importantly, all those involved on your case will be supportive of our integrative health care practices. By maintaining consistent quality care, we can offer a more direct path to long-lasting wellness!

Convenience

With all your specialists at one facility, you can avoid lengthy travel times between appointments. You will also never have to worry about being the sole liaison between your specialists, ferrying messages about your various treatments to be sure that each doctor knows which tests have been done and what the results were. The information about your case will be centralized, allowing each of your doctors the accessibility they need to help you get well.

Cost

This collaborative approach to medicine has also allowed us to refine our treatment protocols extensively. More efficient diagnosis means fewer needless tests, reducing the cost to you. With some of our more established protocols, we are also able to offer all-inclusive treatment packages for some health conditions. These packages include consultations, lab work, nutrition counseling, supplements, and beneficial treatments for a fixed cost. These carefully planned treatment packages are both convenient and cost-effective.

The Best Integrative Care Available

By integrating your care across disciplines and modalities, both medically and professionally, Patients Medical can provide you with personalized, integrative health care of unparalleled quality. We are committed to providing our patients with easy access to all the specialized care they need to uncover the underlying causes of their health issues, addressing problems at their very root to heal them completely.
