Why Choose Preventative Medicine by Science

Care here begins with a comprehensive assessment: your health history, a physical examination, and laboratory testing appropriate to what brought you in. Depending on the reason for your visit, that may also include cognitive assessment or full-body DEXA body composition measurement.

The purpose is to have data before making a plan. A recommendation made without measurement is a guess, however experienced the person making it — and it leaves nothing to compare against later.

Two patients describing the same symptom often have different findings behind it, so the plans differ too. What is recommended for you is based on your results, your history, and what you have said you want to address.

Bioidentical hormone therapy, nutrition and lifestyle counselling, and supplementation are all approaches used at the practice. Which of them apply to you — and whether any of them do — is determined at your evaluation, not assumed from the reason you booked.

First visits are scheduled long. They cover your health history in detail, a physical examination, and the testing your assessment calls for, and they leave room for you to ask about the parts you do not follow.

Results are reviewed with you in plain language: what was measured, what it means, what is worth watching, and what is not a concern. You should leave understanding your own results well enough to explain them to someone else.

Baseline measurements are only useful if something is compared to them. Where therapy is started, follow-up testing and review are part of the plan — doses are adjusted against results rather than set once and left running.

Follow-up is also how a plan gets stopped when it is not doing what it was meant to. That is a normal outcome and it is easier to recognise when the measurements are being repeated.

This practice is not a replacement for primary care, and it does not ask you to choose between the two. Continue with your primary care physician, your specialists, and the screening they have recommended.

Where findings here fall outside what the practice manages, you are referred. Where records are useful to your other clinicians, they can be shared at your request.
