Optimal Health Medical Center incorporates thorough patient history and intake to help investigate the cause of a patients disease. We use blood, saliva, stool and/or urine sampling to help obtain as much data as possible as to why a patients symptoms are occurring. We offer a wide range of therapies so our patients have plenty of options. Dr. Spurgeon has a primary goal of determining the root cause of a patient’s symptoms, with thorough patient intakes and comprehensive lab testing. Conceptually, he practices what some now refer to as Functional Medicine, recognizing that there can be many different causes for a single condition. He has previously stated, “There are at least 36 known contributors to Alzheimer’s disease, so why would a single drug make a significant difference?”
