HealthNOW is definitely a unique clinic.  Having different types of doctors and health care practitioners working together as a team under one roof is part of that uniqueness.  But it is our philosophy of health which really sets us apart from most other doctors whom you’ve met.

To explain how we operate, we have coined a new term: “True Health”.  Our commitment to “True Health” is the driving force behind the creation of our unique clinic.

True Health is getting to the root cause of any problem, rather than only treating symptoms.  Diagnosing and treating root cause is of critical importance to the successful resolution of any health care problem.

Our bodies are incredible machines designed to function optimally, without symptoms, well past the age of 100.  If the body does have symptoms it is a sign of malfunction.  Symptoms are the only way our bodies have of communicating with us.  These symptoms let us know that our body is having a problem.  What happens when we take pain relievers so that we can’t feel the pain any more?  Has that corrected the problem?  Temporary relief of symptoms is just that, temporary.  It doesn’t resolve the underlying cause of the problem.

Malfunction precedes most major diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes by at least 10 years.  What if malfunction could be detected soon enough and corrected?  Would many life-threatening diseases be prevented?  We believe the answer to be a resounding “Yes”!  And this, in summary, is what we are committed to at HealthNOW and what “True Health” actually means.

“False Health” is, unfortunately, practiced much too abundantly in our country.  Patients arrive to see their doctors with pain, fatigue and other problems only to be:

• sent home with a drug that masks the symptoms, has potentially dangerous side effects and/or does nothing to address the root cause of the symptom, or
• told that their symptoms are “normal” or “common” for someone their age and not to worry about it.

This, we believe, is short-sighted because while the symptom is being masked with a medication or ignored entirely, the underlying root cause is continuing to worsen as time goes by.

Many patients are never spoken to about getting to the root cause of their problem.  The only option they’ve ever been given is symptomatic relief.  So we are not surprised when patients sometimes look shocked at the concept of correction.  They often are amazed that true correction is actually available and often ask why no one has ever offered it to them before.

The biggest “problem” with True Health is that it isn’t fast.  We’re not offering a “quick fix” here.  You don’t just take a pill and have a symptom go away.  It takes time to improve and restore normal function to the body.  Most people realize that it took them time to get unhealthy and it therefore will take time to reverse the process.  The good news is that the restoration to health often takes a mere fraction of the time that it took the body to get ill.  On average our programs take about 3 to 4 months to complete.

In order to diagnose the root cause of your problem, we utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic tests and functional laboratory tests.  We then design individualized tailor-made programs for each one of our patients.

True Health isn’t for everyone.  But if getting to the root cause of your problem makes sense to you then you’ve found a doctor’s office that thinks as you do! 

Welcome.
