As an integrative medicine physician, I am often questioned about what I do and how I decided to diverge from the normalcy of allopathic medicine. I usually go into a short spiel about my love for thinking outside the box and creating solutions for patients that seek a kinder, gentler style of medicine; one that blends effective healing modalities from all over the globe with my traditional allopathic training.
Most people enjoy this explanation and inquire more into my practice. Others shy away. But the most frequent question I get after this explanation is if I take insurance in practice. The answer is a resounding “no.”
Do I not take insurance because I’m a mean and vengeful physician? As it is, families pay an exorbitant amount of money for health insurance with the added load of high deductibles straining their budgets.
