Benton Integrative Medicine

As you may already know, this is not a service you can typically find in the insurance-based system. In fact, we are all becoming more and more aware that the current medical and insurance system is not a successful model. Statistics show that we as a country and our current healthcare system does acute care and emergency care well but when it comes to managing chronic disease states, we do poorly. Insurance requires that physicians and healthcare facilities focus on “Quality of Care Metrics” which seem great in title but these measures do not truly address the needs of the patients as they do the needs of the industry.

The current health care system is also based on your organ systems rather than your whole body. You, my friend, are not just a kidney or a heart but you are a whole body that is interconnected.  Consider the workings of a puzzle. One missing piece and the puzzle is not complete. Functional Medicine is an approach that allows us to address as many pieces of the puzzle to get you better.  Think of it as an investment for your health for the long run that will leave you feeling much better and saving money over years in health care costs. Our goal is to get you to your optimal health.  We hope to have the opportunity to be a part of your team for health care recovery or optimization.
