Primary care services help ensure that patients receive prompt treatment for medical issues that arise and have a system in place to help prevent medical conditions from developing. Research shows that maintaining a long-term relationship with a trusted clinician is associated with better health outcomes for patients, including: living longer, taking fewer medications, and feeling more cared for within the health system. Comprehensive Wellness offers primary care services for patients of all ages, from internal medicine to geriatric care, as well as in-office testing, immunizations, and medications. Our clinicians believe passionately in the importance of building long-term relationships with patients that are based on trust, transparency, and the ethical practice of medicine.

Internists at Comprehensive Wellness are physicians specializing in internal medicine, a discipline focused on the care of adults emphasizing use of the best medical science available in caring for patients in the context of thoughtful, meaningful doctor-patient relationships. Internists are equipped to deal with whatever problem a patient brings—no matter how common or rare, or how simple or complex. They are specially trained to solve puzzling diagnostic problems and can handle severe chronic illnesses and situations where several different illnesses may strike at the same time.

The practice of Functional Medicine approaches the body as an integrated system and seeks to identify and address the root cause (or causes) of disease.  With origins in Naturopathic Medicine, Functional Medicine is often viewed as a bridge between conventional and holistic medicine.    Drawing from both modalities, Functional Medicine utilizes therapeutics including herbs, diet, nutritional supplements and pharmaceuticals in treatments customized to each patient. At Comprehensive Wellness, we believe that when you find and unwind the root cause of a patient’s symptoms, the body will return to a state of lasting health.

Comprehensive Wellness clinicians recognize that challenges for patients and families related to aging require flexibility and accommodation to the older patients’ unique needs. Our clinicians understand that a multifaceted approach is needed and strive to evaluate the older person’s medical, social, emotional, and other needs. The team also focuses on health concerns common in older people such as incontinence, falls, memory problems, and managing multiple chronic conditions and medications. We offer home visits and telephone visits to make caring for this patient population simpler for families and for the patients themselves.
