Concierge Telemedicine with David Epstein, D.O.
Epigenetics and Your Biochemisty: A New Way to Address Mood Disorders
Mental health concerns need comprehensive solutions and treatments that free patients from disastrous side effects of inadequate therapies. Second Opinion Physician offers an alternative perspective, introducing targeted nutrient therapy based on the specific way your DNA creates your body’s biochemical environment.
Dr. David Epstein, DO, with more than 35 years in medical practice, champions a unique and patient-centric approach. As a functional medicine physician, he applies the Walsh Approach in a complete and comprehensive manner. The Walsh Approach and its accompanying lab test can pinpoint how a patient’s expression of DNA is affecting specific neurotransmitter activity, like serotonin and dopamine, based on a patient’s methylation.
In simpler terms, the Walsh Approach is like a health blueprint. It recognizes that everyone's body and mind operate differently, necessitating personalized nutrient interventions. By identifying key imbalances related to mood disorders, Dr. Epstein provides an informed and holistic plan for each patient, which includes comprehensive testing for nutrient imbalances and other factors.
The Patient-Centric Approach of Concierge Medicine
Offered at Second Opinion Physician, concierge medicine reorients the focus back to the patient. Without the constraints of traditional insurance-based models, doctors can offer more hands-on and thorough care. When addressing delicate conditions like depression, Dr. Epstein’s ease of availability and direct communication with patients can often make a significant difference. Many patients can benefit by his assistance when they are in need of an advocate to communicate with other healthcare institutions, pharmacies, lab techs, or therapists.
With alarming statistics pointing to rising mental health concerns, especially among younger age groups, a comprehensive, patient-focused care model becomes crucial. A close doctor-patient relationship, typical of concierge medicine, emphasizes early symptom recognition, root cause understanding, and a holistic care plan.
