Back to TopDo you think you can help me with my health problem?
Our physicians use an innovative systems approach to assessing and treating your health care concerns. Perhaps you have experienced being examined by your doctor, having blood tests done, x-rays or other diagnostic tests taken, only for your doctor to report back that “all your tests are normal”. Yet, both you and your doctor know that you are sick. Unfortunately, this experience is all too common.
Most physicians were trained to look only in specific places for the answers, using the same familiar labs or diagnostic tests. Yet, many causes of illness cannot be found in these places. The usual tests do not look for food allergies, hidden infections, environmental toxins, mold exposures, nutritional deficiencies and metabolic imbalances. New gene testing can uncover underlying genetic predispositions that can be modified through diet, lifestyle, supplements or medications.
Dr. Hyman has pioneered the use of such testing to help his patients prevent illness and recover from many chronic and difficult to treat conditions. Our physicians are highly skilled in evaluating, assessing and treating chronic problems such as fibromyalgia, fatigue syndromes, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory disorders, mood and behavior disorders, memory problems, Parkinson’s disease and other chronic, complex conditions. We also focus on the prevention and treatment of heart disease, diabetes, dementia, hormonal imbalances and digestive disorders.
Back to TopCan all the tests I need be done at The UltraWellness Center?
Most of the testing can be performed at The UltraWellness Center. Some testing can be done through conventional laboratories and others are only available through specialty laboratories. During your medical consultation, your physician will determine which tests are needed and then our nurses /medical office assistants will review testing recommendations, instructions (ex. fasting or non-fasting, etc.) and costs. Some testing can be performed at home with test kits to collect urine, saliva or stool. Others may require you to go to a local laboratory to draw the blood. In all cases, we will assist you in coordinating initial and follow-up testing.
Occasionally, we may recommend certain tests that are not performed at our facility (i.e. heart scans, cardiac stress tests, bone density, sleep studies, etc.) In those instances, we can provide you with an order that you can take to a facility near your home or we can schedule an appointment to have them done near our office.
Back to TopWill I see other practitioners at The UltraWellness Center?
Nutritional therapy is a vital component of your treatment plan. Following your initial medical consultation, you will meet with one of our nutritionists. They will provide recommendations based on your health concerns and tailor your diet based on medical evaluation and test results. You will follow-up with a nutritionist in person, by phone or email consultations.
