Avoiding Knee Replacement and Achieving Better Health Through Root-Cause Functional Medicine

Now Health is the best of the world in caring for the patient and making them feel important, each and every one of them. Hi, I'm Terry Snyder. I live in Alaska and I am currently retired. I was just a normal Alaskan, I think by and large it's a unique place to live so you have to be ready for just about any kind of weather but I definitely think my life has improved since I started working with Jill and Now Health, I'm much more focused on my health and I think it's helped my longevity. The number one reason I didn't almost join, I waited a little bit before I was a current patient at Dr. Valerius before she went to this model of health and I just needed to learn more about it, It was unique to Alaska. I have really good coverage for insurance so switching over to a subscription base I had some questions about it, I wondered if it would turn into something where only people like me that can afford it could do it but after talking to her and her staff and I already knew she was an amazing doctor I decided to give it a try and I never looked back, I'm very happy with it and so like it's definitely a good thing that I did for myself. What surprised me the most about Now Health is how seamless the transition was. She has always had a very steady staff who are kind and understanding. It's just a first class operation which actually happens to be about two blocks from me, so I can walk there. But her focus on not just treating a symptom but finding out how why you have that symptom? I think is unique to doctors and I was all for that and it's a very non invasive way of medicine and think it really does make a difference on how healthy you are. The number one benefit I've received as a result of my current arrangement with Now Health is the simplicity of it but at the same time just the focus on without judgment which I think is really important with doctors of concentrating on good health and how to improve it so that I understand it and then I benefit from it. it. The thing I thought I was buying was a membership and access to her but what I really got was a much fuller picture on how she could help me with my health and areas I hadn't thought about. I'm older today, much older today than when I started seeing her but I'm far healthier, so that's been a really nice surprise. She helped me through, I really thought I was headed to knee replacement and through her efforts and the efforts of a really, really good physical therapist that she works with I'm avoiding it. So that to me, that's a huge win. If you're sitting on the fence my recommendation to you is jump over the fence. I think it's a new, it's a health model that only everybody will benefit from. It'll save you time, and in the long run it'll save you money because I know that she is very conscious about not ordering extra tests and extra hoops to go through. You'll be very pleased at the rapid response time. I think if you put all those things together as far as time and the lack of frustration of the normal what normally calling a doctor and trying to get them to get back to you and filling prescriptions and all of that. This is just really the best of both worlds. I mean, she's an MD so when she has to throw hard guns at something she will but she really is your partner in health and so I say climb that fence, jump that fence and go for
