Many who have vistited my site know that I have worked very hard to conquer my own medical condition. I could not lift, I had no endurance, my pain was incredible. I was suppossed to get worse but instead, through the grace of God, I have indeed become so much better. I can do more than I could before I was sick except that I still can't walk continuosly very often, but the fact is that I have indeed walked about two miles straight in the sand and can run. (Although I look like a robot when I run...) Don't tell my doctor, I am running, she will be mad at me!
that I am opening an office! All my doctors know this and are glad to see this happening.
Mary Jo is still with me and ready to help take up the slack when/if things get crazy. But yes, the time has come to build the type of practice that puts the patient first.
Many have asked and I didn't think it was possible, but what can you do when everything starts falling into place with almost no effort? Friends, family and even strangers gather around to help put things together for me and it has been amazing to watch!
My gratitude is endless and I am humbled. Even my medical equipment was practically given to me from another doctor leaving his practice. A man I had never met who passed by and felt "moved" to step in and lend support.
Years of combined experience in the medical field: Mary Jo has over 30 years of experience as a nurse practitioner, and Dr. Turner was 45 before her medical training began. Both of us have seen both sides of the provider's desk. It seems that the bureaucracy of medicine has become an encumbrance to helping patients get better, and we just can't stand for that. So we are going to change to a radical plan and (here it comes)... listen to you! Then we find a plan that uses integrative medicine to help you attain your best overall health. Our goal is to replace strong medications, whenever possible and medically safe, for effective yet gentler options. Let's get healthy!
No one is a cookie cutter patient. All of us come with a mixture of insults and achievements in our health. Our goal is to find the secret sauce that you need to feel healthy in your body, your mind and your soul. In the process, we work with prescribed medications, multiple supplements, education, as well as general coaching and counseling. Our Integrative Medicine is through researched methods with no hidden costs.
Dr. Turner, upon receiving the devastating diagnosis of Stiff Person Syndrome, was forced to look "outside the box" in order to help her own body. Instead of getting progressively worse, as was expected, she has learned to manage her disease and improve her condition. In so doing, her challenges are met every day which is the nature of achieving good health. One must practice self-care every day.
You know your body best. You know what you can tolerate, and what is difficult for you. Proper evaluation and reassessments can take time. Sadly, getting adequate face-to-face time has been difficult for providers and patients alike. We have busy lives and, in the clinics, growing bureaucracy and endless regulations have taken bite after bite out of the time that providers can spend interacting directly with you. We are here to listen to your situation with an open mind, unencumbered by other deadlines and by too many appointments imposed by the corporate medicine machine. We control our time so that we can provide you with undivided attention during your appointment.
Our appointments are done via telemedicine, primarily for residents of Texas.
