PRIMARY & ALTERNATIVE MEDICAL CENTER
Is Truly Patient Centered.
You are the reason we are here. Our goal is to help you feel better mentally, physically and spiritually. Our primary tools are listening to you sensitively, examining you carefully and then discussing with you thoroughly, our opinions and your options. We see health care as both a science and an art. There is rarely one right answer, and one size almost never fits all. When it comes to your health we will incorporate highly accurate diagnostic laboratories and advance imaging studies with our medical expertise. We will derive diagnoses and treat appropriately as well as make a referral to our affiliated specialist. We will be attentive to your specific needs, concerns and fears. We see you each as special individuals and not merely as people with high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, obesity or high cholesterol. We see ourselves as your primary care providers, health care advisers, educators, and teammates. Patients that take an active role in their health care generally do better.
