Shared Decision Making

Patient Involvement in Decisions

A collaborative process where clinicians and patients work together, integrating medical evidence with the patient's values, preferences, and personal situation to choose the best treatment plan, leading to better satisfaction, adherence, and outcomes. It's a core part of patient-centered care, moving beyond just informed consent to empower patients to be active partners in their health journey, respecting their autonomy and expertise in their own lives.

Benefits of Patient Involvement

Higher patient satisfaction with care.
Improved knowledge about conditions and treatments.
Better adherence to treatment plans.
More realistic expectations about treatment.
Reduced anxiety and decisional conflict.
Fewer unnecessary tests or procedures.
Improved health outcomes.

How it Works in Practice

Open Communication: Clinicians ask patients about their concerns, priorities, and what matters most to them.
Shared Understanding: Both parties discuss all reasonable options, understanding the pros and cons of each.
Joint Decision: The final choice reflects the best clinical evidence and the patient's personal values, often involving partner clinicians, specialists, family or caregivers.

Functional medicine is our focus

Our Philosophy

Functional medicine is a systems biology-based approach to healthcare that identifies and addresses the root causes of disease by looking at the whole person, rather than just focusing on a single diagnosis. It is a patient-centered, science-based approach that uses a patient's personal history, genes, environment, and lifestyle to create a personalized treatment plan. This can include a combination of traditional medical practices and other therapies such as nutritional counseling, supplements, and mental health management techniques.

Integrative Medicine approach

Principals of Functional Medicine

Root cause focus: Aims to find and treat the underlying causes of illness, not just the symptoms.
Systems biology: Views the body as an interconnected system, where imbalances in one area can affect others.
Personalized treatment: Recognizes that each individual is unique due to their genetic makeup, environment, and lifestyle, requiring a customized approach.
Proactive and preventative: Emphasizes preventing disease and promoting overall wellness through lifestyle changes and other interventions.
Integrative approach: Combines conventional medical practices with other research-backed treatments like nutrition, exercise, and targeted supplements.

What to expect

Principals of Functional Medicine

Detailed history: A thorough review of your personal medical history, family history, and lifestyle is crucial.
Holistic assessment: Factors like diet, stress levels, sleep, physical activity, and environment are all taken into account.
Targeted interventions: Treatment plans may include a combination of conventional medicine, specific diets, supplements, stress management, and other therapies.
Patient-practitioner partnership: You and the practitioner work together to identify and treat the root cause of your health issues.
