Best Medical Practice Ever!
As a mother of a daughter that has struggled with many medical issues for an extended period of time, with dozens of medical visits to conventional offices and zero results . . . Madison was a hardened patient walking into Seattle Integrative Medicine. She was skeptical to Naturopathic Physicians (for that matter, all other doctors). At the end of the hour, it was very refreshing to see her walk out into the waiting room with a huge beam of sunshine in her eyes, a glisten that I had not seen in over a year. She was all laughs & smiles and a skip in her step. Pure joy. Why? It was because Dr. Marco Vispignani had real answers for Madison! Yes, Dr. Marco Vispignani was able to identify ALL of Madison's medical issues and provide viable answers in which she needs to care for her body. Thank you Dr. Marco! Thank you Seattle Integrative Medicine!
To elaborate, Madison was suffering & living with severe abdominal pains, she would be completely debilitated for a day if not days. Madison first saw the family general physician, which the family doctor referred Madison to a gastrointestinal doctor. Madison underwent a physical with the GI doctor and was prescribed 3 medications. We wanted to address her severe pain proactively to avoid the stage of pain, we did not merely want medications to attempt to mask the pains. Ultimately the medications did not work. Madison underwent a endoscopy in search of answers. Nothing, except discomfort, time and unnecessary medical expenses. Since that did not provide answers to the GI doctor, she wanted to perform a colonoscopy. Yes, another medical procedure that provided no answers, merely more discomfort, time and medical expenditures. Also the attempt of different medications that only compounded or masked the real issue. The GI medical expert had zero viable answers!
While the GI doctor was doing her thing, we also pursued a very popular medical doctor, an expert allergist. This was a farce! The doctor want "us" to identify what we wanted my daughter tested for her allergic reactions. Yes, the obvious of dairy, shellfish, nuts - but what else? We wanted a thorough testing, but "we" had no idea what my daughter should be tested for and the expert allergist doctor's office lacked the expertise to insure we covered every possible angle since "we" had to check the box of items we wanted tested (each test being $XX and no recommended testing packages). This was like putting the stethoscope in my hands and asking me to identify the problems. This was beyond ridiculous.
Once again, it was Seattle Integrative Medicine and Dr. Marco Vispignani that provided my daughter with important answers (a comprehensive diagnosis) and also provided a viable management plan that my daughter could handle herself for her severe abdominal pains.
Also with all things being connected, this also cleared up my daughter's acne. Yes, we spend a multitude of $$$$ on a dermatologist (non medical coverage for the most part) to no avail. Just frustration from creams & pills that did not work (the pills had horrible side effects too). My beautiful teenage daughter battling acne was unsettling. Once Madison focused on Dr. Marco's management plan, Madison's face and back had cleared. Beautiful skin is in! Talk about a boost! Wow!
The Seattle Integrative Medicine Team made everything seem so simple (which all the other doctors made overly complex). To also reiterate, it was SIM that provided the proper diagnosis and the solutions, much being proactive measures by avoiding a thorough list of foods that are toxins to my daughter's body.
But that was not the only thing my daughter suffered from, she also had weekly migraines. If you are a migrainer, you know a migraine can be dreadfully incapacitating. Once again, Dr. Marco came to my daughter's rescue. Her migraines are now rare, they are manageable since they tend to be low-grade migraines. This is bliss!
Our only regret is that we did not go to Seattle Integrative Medicine first! This would have saved a year+ of suffering for my daughter. Madison is a well-being now. SIM acknowledged all medical challenges Madison was faced, with everything being connected, as one thing healed, so did another, and another . . . far better than visiting 3 specialists (which can create conflict with medications too) and your general family doctor.
Yes, I highly recommend Seattle Integrative Medicine! I highly recommend Dr. Marco Vispignani! The SIM is a fantastic team! My daughter feels normal and leads an adventurous life traveling the world thanks to the SIM management plan!
Yes I have literally referred 4 dear friends to SIM, because they seemed lost in the traditional medical system with no viable answers to their ailments. SIM is exceedingly professional, personal, supportive . . . if you want medical solutions SIM is the place to go!
Cheers to Good Health!
