Time to Change Doc? 5 Quick Qs to Help You Decide

Is your relationship with your doctor one of the most important partnerships you have? Shouldn’t it be? Ask yourself the 5 questions below.  As the second-most important person caring for you (you are the first!), your doctor should pass with flying colors. If she doesn’t, it’s time for a change.

1) Are our philosophies aligned?

At DCIM we believe in our body’s innate ability to heal.  Our role is to unharness and tap into that ability. We don’t just treat the symptoms.  We get to the underlying root cause of your disease.

2) What do I get?

Is it just a pill? The average doctor in America sees 25 patients a day and dolls out 35 prescriptions.  Less than ¼ of our visits result in a prescription medicine. Instead, we spend our time looking at you, delving into your (and your family’s) medical history, assessing environmental and lifestyle factors, considering advanced diagnostic testing, and developing an individualized and detailed plan for your health…which we share with you after your first visit! 

3) How well does she know me?

At DCIM, our first appointment is 90 minutes long.  That’s 90 minutes spent 1 on 1 with your doctor. The average doctor visit in the United States is less than 20 minutes.  (Our average wait time? Less than 1 minute).

4) Has her treatment worked?

 Are you feeling better, or have your symptoms persisted?  Are the cure and its side-effects as bad as the original condition?  We specialize in treating chronic or complicated conditions that persist despite traditional, managed care approaches.

5) Is she good at what she does?

Don’t just take our word for it.  Read what others have to say about us.
