What is Green Holistic Medicine AND How is it different from my regular doctor's office? Green Holistic Medicine (GHM) is dedicated to providing patients with a new approach to health care. At GHM the patient is totally involved in their own health management. Patient education is the key to this approach, so that the patient will under-stand what they are doing and why. The average office visit at GHM lasts one hour or more, because that is the amount of time required for our physician, Dr. Jeff Romig, M.D., to thoroughly assess each patient's needs, to develop a health maintenance plan specifically with the patient, and to insure that the patient understands every aspect of the plan. In addition, this gives the patient ample time to actually talk to the doctor about their concerns. |
How will my experience at Green Holistic Medicine differ from my experience at a "Regular Medical Practice"? At Green Holistic Medicine, you will be treated as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. All aspects of your well-being will be addressed, including your diet, your stage of life, and your sexual well-being, if appropriate. You will not be prescribed a medication to eliminate a symptom without working to discover the cause of the symptom and attempting to eliminate it without drugs, if possible. However, if a medication is warranted, it will certainly be prescribed and monitored closely. Your concerns will be listened to and addressed. It is our goal to include our patients thoroughly in every aspect of their care. You are the key to your own health and well-being and we will always honor that. By definition, Holistic Medicine involves the care of the whole person; Body, Mind and Spirit, in which the patient is an important part of overall health care and disease prevention. |
