Evidence-Based Holistic Primary Care

What is evidence-based, holistic primary care?

Evidence-based, holistic primary care is a whole person-centered approach to preventative healthcare, as well as acute and chronic conditions. Holistic primary care values scientifically-supported treatments and approaches to healing from traditional and conventional medical perspectives, and promotes coordination of care between different types of providers and therapeutic treatments.

Many common conditions in both men and women stem from multiple or complex causes which the evaluation and treatment of can be enhanced by a multi-disciplinary medical approach. Depending on the specific issue being treated and the patient’s individual situation, this approach often leads to more successful outcomes than conventional or alternative treatments alone. Each patient’s situation is examined individually and therapies are customized toward your specific needs.
