At Integrated Medicine Group we believe that the highest priority in health care delivery should be good health through disease prevention, not disease treatment. Disease treatment reflects system failure. Often it is possible to restore good health by making behavioral and lifestyle changes even after disease has developed.

The ideal doctor-patient relationship is one in which the common goal is making the patient as healthy as possible. The emphasis in treatment is the sharing of goal or goals. We believe this means supplying the information necessary for our patients to make logical, informed decisions related to their health care. In an age of exploding health care technology and internet availability of vast amounts information, this means taking the time to listen to the concerns and wishes of each patient and providing the link to appropriately apply that information without losing the human touch. It means developing the mutually trusting relationship needed to reach the best results possible.

The root word in Greek for physician also means teacher and this is the highest role of the physician. At Integrated Medicine Group, our patients are regarded as whole beings in which all systems are interconnected, not a group of organ systems to be treated separately. Our clinic is a place of friendly confidence and we go to great lengths to ensure our patients do not feel fearful or avoidance but accepted and welcomed. When patient health and well being is our highest priority, all other things flow from this. Additionally, we know that a truly effective health care delivery system incorporates a broad spectrum health care professionals none of whom have a corner on the best way to achieve good health yet all work together in concert to deliver the optimum in our patients health care needs.
