Services
office consultations:
The initial consultation will last 60 minutes and encourages patients to tell their story and share their personal goals with the provider. A detailed review of past history, studies and treatments along with an appropriate physical exam if necessary will be done.
Our integrative practitioners provide an educational and empowering experience for all individuals that come to GladdMD. We not only understand the tenants of optimal health, but can present these to clients at a variety of levels based on their knowledge, experience and interest. Our care is provided as a partnership with our client. We are there to simply provide an educational and empowering framework from which a patient can make a decision for themselves.
online coordination of care:
Using the Hello Health platform, clients have the opportunity to communicate direct-to-provider for urgent needs as well as follow-up care. We at GladdMD have learned that many clients that prefer our style of care, and also prefer us to be available more acutely to prevent unnecessary medical interventions, both testing and drugs like antibiotics. This capability is provided via online connection with providers, and when necessary, face-to-face appointments or recommendations to urgent or emergent care centers will be made. There is a per "email visit" fee applied to these interactions.
nutrition counseling:
At GladdMD, our nutrition focus is whole foods. That nourishing you body with food that comes directly, or nearly directly from its natural source. We have an integrative dietician on staff to help you navigate the grocery store and your life toward this major and necessary lifestyle change. She is also well-versed in elimination diets, both as trials to determine possible roots to disease and as a lifelong focus for optimal well-being.
heartmath:
An amazing tool for lowering blood pressure, stress, insomnia to name a few, Heartmath is a software program that teaches and leads individuals to create calmness/peace/relaxation and monitor this state of "coherence". One of our integrative practitioners is a certified Heartmath provider and can teach this tool that combines breathing with positive emotion in individual visits or as a package that also includes rental of the monitoring device.
functional digestive testing:
The digestive system, one of the three pillars of optimal health (along with nutrition and stress management) can be a root issue to not only digestive problems, but also auto-immune disease, chronic pain, hormone imbalance and many others. Although taking a thorough history and listening to our clients' story is important, sometimes more in-depth analysis is required. Most conventional testing is inadeqate for understanding how well or unwell your digestive system is functioning. We offer testing for digestive bacterial balance, enzyme levels, markers of overgrowth from yeast or parasites and food sensitivity analysis.
bioidentical hormone replacement:
Most men and women on hormone replacement are taking hormones foreign to the human body, whether synthetic or derived from pregnant horses (Premarin). We believe it is important to take natural-derived hormones that are identical to ones that are supposed to be in your system. In addition, too many people are taking excessive amounts of hormones and this now becomes the major cause of their symptoms. Not only do we work with compounding pharmacists to provide a hormone and dosage matched to your needs, but we monitor very closely with saliva hormone levels to ensure balance is achieved. Too many patients are relying on blood testing and it seems the body can accommodate very high levels of total body hormones before it shows up elevated in blood.
blood testing: We now house Quest Diagnostics for patient lab work. The lab is open Monday through Thursday from 8:30-12:30 p.m. You do not need an appointment, but please bring your lab order with you. Quest accepts all major insurance providers. If you have any questions regarding coverage, please call Quest at 866-MyQuest.
