Not Sure If We’re The Right Place For You?

While not required to become a patient, this live Zoom meeting with Dr. Pittman is a great way for potential patients to learn about our practice.  Important areas covered:

How we approach health and disease at the cellular and molecular level rather than the more conventional emphasis on organ systems

How we use a variety of labs and other testing techniques to evaluate health status

The various treatment modalities we utilize to help our patients achieve their goals

How we utilize diet and nutrition as the foundation of our programs, giving specific instructions as to how to adjust your diet to eliminate any food sensitivities or allergies

How our practice operates with explanations about scheduling appointments

How to contact us if you have questions, how to maximize reimbursement from your insurance company, and other information about the policies and procedures of our office

How do we help patients overcome complex medical conditions?

Address the Root:

We seek to address the underlying causes of your illness rather than treat symptoms. We also seek to address this condition at the cellular level, rather than at an organ or system level.

Tailored Treatment Plans:

We tailor the treatment strategy to your unique needs, based on the results of our comprehensive, individualized testing, health history evaluation, and your personal preferences.

Integrative Therapies:

Drawing from the published medical research, we evaluate studies and organize the evidence to support those strategies we think will be most effective for your specific situation.
