Approach to Patients

 Osteopathic Medicine, founded in 1874,  is an approach to medicine now increasingly supported by some of the most sophisticated research and high-resolution imaging techniques on the planet, that embraces the concept of the unity of the living organisms's structure (anatomy) and function (physiology).  The Osteopathic Philosophy emphasizes the following principles:

1. The human body is a dynamic unit of function.

2. The body possesses self-regulatory mechanisms that are self-healing in nature.

3. Structure and function are interrelated at all levels.

4. Rational treatment is based on these principles.

The Osteopathic Philosophy, deceptively simple in its presentation, forms the basis for osteopathic medicine's distinctive approach to health care.  The philosophy acts as a unifying set of ideas for the organization and application of scientific  knowledge to patient care. Through the philosophy, this knowledge is organized in relation to all aspects of health (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual). A patient-centered focus, using health-oriented principles of patient care and unique skills, including hands-on manual diagnosis and treatment, guide the application of that knowledge.  These concepts form the foundation for practicing Osteopathic Medicine.

"It is the object of a physician to find health, anyone can find disease"

Andrew Taylor Still M.D., D.O.

My role as an Osteopathic physician is to help you find this health and unleash the body’s natural healing potential by removing any obstruction to its normal physiologic processes.

Human beings are not suffering from a deficiency of pharmaceutical medications.  Too often, they find themselves taking too many medications, brought about by a prescribing cascade.  A prescribing cascade happens when medications are prescribed to offset side effects of previous medication prescriptions.  The interaction of these medications can often result in worsening debility than had a person not been on medications at all.  It is my objective to get patient's off as many medications as possible in a methodical and safe manner, over an appropriate period of time.  Your quality of life is my priority.

 A schools sports physical, completed by a physician, not in a hurry.  At last count, the rate of discovery of a significant cardiac finding in high school and college sports physicals was about 1 in every 30 evaluations.  One was a high school athlete with a cardiac murmur so pronounced, I heard it immediately upon putting the stethoscope on his chest.  He would get dizzy while playing.  Wanna see what happens to a running back who gets dizzy from loss of blood flow to his brain because of a lazy sports physical?  Golf, volleyball, etc, that's fine but a football running back? The consequences can be catastrophic, or deadly.  No child will be turned away for inability of the parents to pay.  Otherwise, requested fee would be $25 

 Our healthcare situation in this country has gotten pretty impersonal, rushed, etc.  It's leaving people in a rut of undiagnosed or wildly inappropriately treated disease states.  Stop in and bring all the stuff, or bring yourself if you'd like as much time as you require, with undivided attention.  If you leave me stumped, well done. If you find yourself frustrated or having gained nothing, it's free.  If it is beneficial, it's $450, and includes the first three months of membership with the practice. 

 A lot like the service above, but sometimes it's just a quick review and evaluation.  The fee is negotiable depending on the time/skill required of me.
