Integrative Holistic Medicine Clinic
Holistic Prevention and Management of Chronic Illness
What is an Integrative Holistic Medicine Clinic?
Integrative holistic medicine describes an approach to healthcare
that focuses on the prevention and management of chronic illness
in conjunction with the existing allopathic or conventional medical
treatment.
The purpose of the Marianjoy Integrative Holistic Medicine Clinic is
to help individuals with chronic illnesses learn more about optimum
health, self-empowerment, and prevention of acute flare-ups of their
conditions. This insight and control is achieved through focus on
some or all of the following:
• Healthy lifestyle
• Recommendations for
balanced nutrition
• Spiritual counseling
• Acupuncture treatments
• Meditation
• Recommendations about vitamins and minerals
Who can benefit from an Integrative Holistic Medicine Clinic?
Individuals with chronic illness such as, but not limited to:
• Chronic fatigue syndrome
• Hypertension
• Chronic sinusitis
• Arthritis
• Chronic headache
• Diabetes mellitus
• Chronic insomnia
• Any chronic illness
How the Integrative Holistic Medicine Clinic differs from traditional medicine
The Marianjoy Integrative Holistic Medicine Clinic does not replace
medical management by a primary care or specialty care physician.
Individuals with any chronic illness must continue to see their regular
physician. All prescriptions for medications must be managed by their regular physician.
What happens during an appointment in this clinic?
When you arrive, you will be asked to complete a self-survey about your
general health, spiritual well-being, and diet. Dr. Gouri Chaudhuri, a
Marianjoy Medical Group physician specializing in physical medicine
and rehabilitation and integrative holistic medicine, will evaluate you and
review the medications that you are taking. Following that session, you
may be referred for nutritional counseling, meditation training, spiritual
guidance, or acupuncture as part of your recommended treatment plan.
What does it cost?
Payment is expected at the time of your visit for services that are not
covered by your insurance. If you are covered by insurance, Medicare, or
Medicaid, you will be responsible for any co-pay or deductible for the
physician visit. You will be informed of the fees for service based on the
physician’s treatment plan.
