American Integrative Medicine is a new type of medicine using both traditional and non-traditional medicine in combination to produce the best treatment plans and ultimately the best health of our patients. But how does a medical office combine traditional and no-traditional medicines? With great thought!
First our office is not your typical office. It is more like a spa, with soothing sounds, light music, diming lights in treatment rooms, calming colors and textures. We even offer you a cup of tea during your visit or after your treatment. You are greeted by friendly and compassionate staff. You are never asked for your clinic number. You have a name, and you are respected and greeted as such. If you have time before your visit, you are welcome to meditate in front of our fountain, or you can read the latest Dr. Weil health letter publication. We offer CDs for self hypnosis and meditation, and books about nutrition, health and wellness.
You will also notice that you spend much more time with your personal physician. No more waiting 1 hour for a doctor who is behind schedule and then only has 10 minutes with you. Most office visits are 30-60 minutes long. When was the last time you spent that much time with your doctor?
