6 Reasons You May NEED an Integrative Medicine Doctor
Dr. Sydne Ford • July 23, 2022
There are A LOT of people in the health care space right now who offer an array of different approaches.

This can be confusing for many people as they seek alternatives to traditional treatments. I often see that patients who want alternatives don’t go to the doctor at all,
despite having an array of issues. Many are also missing out on recommended screenings due to having a poor experience with doctors who reject alternative therapy. Here’s why an Integrative Medicine doctor may be for you:
- We are healing-oriented and not just disease-focused; we promote health and disease prevention rather than just treating once you aren’t feeling well
- We review the evidence (or lack of) on alternative/complimentary supplements, herbs and treatments in order to make a SAFE and effective recommendation for you
- We help to SAFELY
avoid, reduce or stop medications that you are (or should be) taking
- We can provide a nearly complete evaluation/workup rather than sending you back to your PCP
- We decipher between when alternative treatment is appropriate for you vs traditional modern medicine (because let’s be real, sometimes you need medications/surgery to save your life)
- We can offer both primary care AND holistic healing.
There’s no need to choose.
