I
want to thank you for your interest in my services and congratulate you on
taking the first step in becoming responsible for your health. The most vital
ingredients needed to achieve optimum health are your commitment, patience,
and dedication. They are necessary to be successful at anything you do. The
Grisanti Center for Integrative Medicineoffers
second opinion and long distance phone consultations for patients who
have not achieved a resolution of their health problems. Many patients are
simply sick and tired of being sick and tired !
After
over 20 years in private practice, I have seen the frustration of many
patients who simply can't get well or may I say .. have not been properly
diagnosed or provided the best treatment to help them get over their sickness.
Many
people are STUCK!They have a condition(s) that baffles even the most educated medical
physician. Finally after exhausting the "best of what conventional
medicine has to offer" patients are either told that they have to accept
their lot in life, their problem is in their head or continue to flood their
bodies with synthetic medications.
Some
patients have seen as many as 10 physicians and present with a list of
sometimes 12-15 different medications and are at the "end of the
rope." The feeling of hopelessness can feel a room. I have seen my
fair share of tears flowing from the eyes of patients who want to live again
and enjoy life.
Many
patients are not able to find a physician who is trained in the science of Functional
Diagnostic Medicine. My long distance consultation program allows you
to discuss your health condition with me. Your condition will be extensively
and thoroughly researched and reviewed. Due to the strong network of
physicians around the country and world, I am able to draw from an immense
data base of clinical excellence which in turn will be used to zero in on the
underlying issues that may be causing your ill health.
Once
your case has been studied and reviewed, I will then discuss the case results
with you by phone. If in the process of our lengthy assessment, I discover I
can not be of service, I will immediately inform you and discuss possible
alternative solutions that may be available for your condition or disease.
You
can feel confident to know that you will be heard and listened to. Every step
will be explained in detail. I do not want any surprises or confusion.
If you
are currently under a doctor’s care, my program is designed to work in
conjunction with any existing protocol, your physician may already have you
using. I support an open-minded environment with your health care
professional(s) and maintain a Total Care approach, which improves your over
all health and/or long-term survival rate.
To
schedule a phone consultation, simply call 864-292-0226
and speak to one of my staff for a convenient time.
Look
forward to helping you get well!

FIVE
STEPS TO BE ACCEPTED FOR E-CONSULTS
STEP
ONE
The
first step in helping you get well involves completing our comprehensive
medical questionnaire. This questionnaire is not like most medical forms. It
is designed to uncover the major and minor causes of your ill health.
This questionnaire becomes a roadmap to discovering the reason(s) why you are
sick and why you have not been able to get better.
STEP
TWO
Copies of medical
records, blood tests, diagnostic testing etc.. will be needed. Our staff will
help you in obtaining your records. We simply need a signed medical release
form and we can contact your physician(s) for you and have them FAX your
records to our office. In the event you would rather obtain the records
yourself, that would be fine. Many medical offices now charge a nominal fee for
your medical records.
STEP
THREE
After all
of your personal information is reviewed and researched, you will be contacted
to schedule our first phone consultation. A personalized report outlining
our clinical findings and recommendations will be sent to you prior to our
consultation. During your consultation, I will review your report, and discuss
any further specialized diagnostic testing that may need to be ordered.
During this time, you will also have the opportunity to discuss your health care
concerns and ask any questions you may have. Generally, the initial consultation
time can range from 45 to 60 minutes
or more if necessary.
STEP
FOUR
If
medical diagnostic testing is required, our staff will discuss the exact
procedure to have these specialized tests performed. Most tests can be performed
in the convenience of your home and sent directly to your residence. Any test
requiring a local physician will be discussed with you and special arrangements
will be made.
STEP
FIVE
After
embarking on your individualized program, follow-up visits and/or consultations
will be required, which may involve repeat or additional testing, as well as
modifications to your treatment program. In between your visits, I suggest you
keep an honest, personal journal of your progress. Items you may include, aside
from how you are feeling, are what you’ve eaten for the day including
beverages, your consistency with your personalized treatment program, questions
that you may want to ask (highlight those so you remember to ask), and anything
regarding your life. It is a tool to be utilized for your health benefit. You
may e-mail me at (ehealth@drgrisanti.com)
or send us a FAX (864- 268-7022)
with any of your questions. Please allow 24-48 hours for a response. If you have
an urgent question, you may call our office at 864-292-0226
or call our emergency pager # 864-460-7009.
