Wael Alomar, M.D. is an Integrative (Holistic), traditional, and Alternative medical doctor, who believes that proper diet, and nutrition that is specific and appropriate for your health condition, are very important in any successful treatment.
Every patient of Dr. Alomar will get nutritional and dietary evaluations as part of the medical treatment.
Most diets fail because they are one size fits all, and not applied gradually. Each person has a unique biochemistry that is based on genetic predisposition, the medications and supplements taken, the diet eaten, and present and past medical history. All those variables should be considered when designing an individualized diet.
Integrative medical practitioners combine conventional medical treatments with alternative medical practices or therapies to maximize the body's natural healing systems. Each person is unique and requires a customized health plan to suit his or her own body.
People with complicated health issues often see integrative (holistic) medical doctors because they believe in the power of the body to heal itself and, may also need a physician (practitioner) who can prescribe drugs when needed. They also come to an integrative medical clinic because they have exhausted all the options of traditional medicine.
Integrative (holistic) M.D.s spend the time with the patient to find the root cause of the problem and treat the whole person using various therapies -- natural, alternative, integrative, and holistic medicine. Because Dr. Alomar practices integrative medicine, and uses a Holistic approach, you will get the best of the two worlds, the state of the art diagnosis of western medicine, and the functional approach of complementary therapies.
At our Integrative Medical Clinic in Los Angeles, California, we use, in additional to traditional medicine, nutrition, diet, herbs, exercise, lifestyle modification, and counseling. Our patients are healthier, have less side effects to medication, and are less likely to be hospitalized or go to the emergency room. This results in a tremendous saving to our patients, insurance companies, and all of us as taxpayers in the cost of medications, hospitalization, and emergency room visits.
Our patients lose weight, stop smoking, eat healthier and are able to lower their cholesterol.
Dr. Alomar integrates traditional and alternative methods to find the best treatment for you.
