The Importance of Wellness

Wellness is something you do

More and more information comes out every day to remind us that the choices we make about how we live our lives has a direct effect on the state of our health. It can be hard to sort out everything you read or hear about: we want to help you make smart choices. We want to hear from you before your health is compromised, to point you in the direction that's will help you enjoy a healthier life.

Staying well means staying in touch

For us to keep up with your evolving health and wellness issues, we want to see you regularly for well visits. That way, we can put some medical backing behind the more general advice and inquiries you may need or want.

• •  Is that diet really working?
• •  Is the gym membership helping with your cholesterol levels?
• •  Is the family history starting to show up in one area or another?

We'll need to ask you some personal questions to know how best to help you, though of course your right to privacy is entirely protected. Wellness is about all the choices you make—let us help you make good ones.

A mix of clinical and common sense

Yes, a primary care physician is going to do all the standard medical assessments you might expect: take your blood pressure and so on. But we also believe in taking the time to get to know how you go about living your life so that we know how to help you live it healthier. That's why part of welcoming new patients to our practice involves a fairly thorough evaluation, so we can understand the life going on around you and where you fit it.

We know that nobody is perfect. The only thing we want to have perfect is to make it perfectly clear what options you have and what the best medical opinions are regarding those options. We want to see you enjoy a long healthy life.
