Finding the ‘sweet spot’ in medical treatments…
My approach to prescribing medical treatments focuses on finding the ‘sweet spot’- striking the right balance between:
1. Relief of Symptoms: helping you feel better NOW, and
2. Long-Term Benefits: supporting your health and wellbeing sustainably OVER TIME.
Many medications prescribed today don’t achieve this balance. Some are designed to relieve symptoms quickly (…or not so quickly) but fail to address the underlying issue, and ultimately have negative long-term effects. Others aim for long-term benefits, but ultimately leave patients feeling worse.
Finding the right treatment for you requires a careful, individualized approach. I work to tailor treatment plans to not only provide relief of symptoms, but also to support your over-all and long-term health goals. Sometimes this involves thinking outside the box and not immediately reaching for commonly used medications that have negative side effects. I strive to understand my patients’ unique needs, evaluate risks and benefits, and help them make informed decisions when it comes to medical treatments.
Effective care is about more than either treating symptoms or focusing on future outcomes in isolation. It’s about integrating both to help you feel better now, while protecting your future health.
