Doctors are tasked with caring for persons, not just medical conditions. My role is not just to treat medical issues but to treat people with medical issues. One of my favorite parts of being a physician is putting together all of the many pieces of relevant information (medical, social, situational) in the context of a unique person and his or her circumstances, preferences, and goals and figuring out various courses of action to best care for that person. Chris Trotz, MD
I integrate primary care with complimentary services.
Primary care services include screening, diagnosis, and treatment, focusing on early detection and prevention. I also order tests, prescribe medications, and give referrals to specialists.
In addition to standard medical treatments, I offer science and evidence-based complementary applications such as mindfulness, plant medicine, acupressure, and meditation. These services are included in regular visits and offered as independent modalities.
Through active listening and thoughtful questioning I offer guidance and treatment to patients. My patients are then able to pursue their own efforts to live happy and healthy lives.
