Integrative Medicine Consult
As an integrative medicine doctor, Dr. Petralba provides medical consultations that consider all factors that influence health, wellness, and disease. At Thrive Life Center, we use conventional, traditional, and alternative medicine to facilitate the innate healing response. Our work always supports mind, body, and spirit.
Beyond the Symptoms
Symptoms are a good place to start, but they do not always tell the whole story. At Thrive Life Center, we work with you and make sure to develop a deep and comprehensive understanding of all the factors that influence wellness. This cannot be done during a 15 minute visit once a year, which is why Dr. Patricia Petralba makes herself directly and easily available to her patients. This way, you do not have to feel rushed or pressured to tell the whole story with the feeling your doctor has no time to listen.
An Integrative Medicine Doctor Assesses the Whole
Often after an acute problem is solved, it makes sense to consider what underlying factors, habits, or lifestyle choices might have trigged the complaint. Sometimes it is nothing. But Dr. Patricia Petralba believes wellness starts with making sustainable lifestyle choices that give rise to a joyful life of vibrant health. She can help you make one small change at a time in pursuit of your ideal life.
Holistic Strategies
While modern medicine has strengths and advantages, sometimes a more traditional or subtle approach can produce the same result as a drug or a procedure. We make sure to consider all available treatment options and help you choose the one that makes the most sense for your circumstances.
Ongoing Support
Sometimes healing must go through several stages. We will never rush the process or run out of patience or attention for a complicated case. And when you are well, we will still be here to help you stay that way!
