Restoration Healthcare’s integrative care plan for complex chronic illness differs from a conventional clinic’s standard care plan. We take a holistic approach, considering the patient’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. From the initial intake process to the type of treatments you receive, you will notice a collaborative approach that digs deep into your health history and uses comprehensive diagnostics, laboratory tests, and our years of experience to address the underlying causes of your condition.
Getting Started on Your Plan of Care and Patient Experience
What Will My Plan of Care Look Like?
Your plan of care will likely look very different from your previous experiences with doctors.
- Your patient intake process will take minutes instead of hours to complete. Your physician will order diagnostics and laboratory tests to identify metabolic health, mitochondrial and cellular function, cognitive capabilities and eye function, functional mobility, gastrointestinal health, viral and bacterial risk factors, and many others.
- These test results and your medical history will provide the doctors with the possible causes of your current health status. A physician will outline how your condition manifested and what can be done. Patients report that they are impressed by the level of detail they receive in these initial appointments. They ultimately feel confident they are in the right hands before the treatment begins.
- From here, the physician may use a combination of conventional medical treatments, such as medications, and complementary therapies, such as IV Therapy, acupuncture, manual medicine, cognitive therapies, nutrition, dietary supplements and herbal medicine, and mind-body techniques to address physical and mental stress.
- Regular monitoring and adjustments to the plan are based on the patient’s progress and changing needs.
- Patients are encouraged to actively participate in their care and make informed decisions about their health. They are provided with resources and information to help them understand their condition, treatment options, and ways to optimize their well-being. This collaborative approach empowers patients to take ownership of their health and make lifestyle changes that can support their healing journey.
What do Patients Say About This Different Type of Care?
Patients who have used Restoration Healthcare to treat complex chronic illnesses report positive experiences. They appreciate the holistic approach that combines conventional medicine with complementary therapies. Unlike traditional clinics, integrative clinics treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. Patients appreciate personalized care, longer appointment times, and the emphasis on lifestyle changes and preventive measures.
They learn an improved form of medicine with highly personalized treatment plans, leading to improved outcomes and a better quality of life.
The following are testimonials from some of our patients while they were being treated at our clinic:
“You don’t realize how much you don’t know until you start learning. And once your eyes are open, you appreciate the people around you. These people are all just trying to help, and they have a really good way of doing that. I thought I was healthy. Honestly, I thought I was perfectly healthy and had just a slight problem with my eye. There have been so many things that we’ve had to face, and we’ve done it.”
“Three years ago, I crashed pretty hard and ended up in a hospital. My health just declined from there; it was worse than ever. I lost a lot of weight rapidly. I could hardly eat. My brother is a physician, and I told him at one point that I felt like I was slowly dying on the inside and on the outside. I looked pretty healthy on the inside and felt like I was dying.” … “We often feel that we must live with the symptoms we have been given. This is the body we’ve been given, and there is nothing we can do and have to live this way forever. I’m proof that is not true. And that there are people out there who actually care. And I found them.”
“When I came in, I was still in a wheelchair. I was lucky enough to see Dr. Bakman, who was fabulous. He was the first doctor to be very engaged. I work in the healthcare industry myself. I believe there is a certain standard and a way of treating people. I set my personal standards that way. This was the first time I came across somebody that was actually caring about their patients”… “He had this great big whiteboard and just started answering many questions and, truly, looking for things about the root of the problem. He took me back to even before I got sick, and through the questions, we realized that there was already immune dysfunction. He also looked at what I was eating. What was the whole picture? Basically, what were my hormones looking like? So instead of just focusing, as one of the neurologists had done to give a medication to try to lower the symptoms, regardless of the consequences of that medication, he began to strip it back.”

“I went to an endocrinologist who said it was another mystery and had no idea what was wrong with me; chronic brain fog, chronic fatigue, chronic headache, chronic weakness. My hair started falling out in wads. I ended up cutting it all off really short at one point. I couldn’t stand up in the shower because I was weak. I found two different neurologists. No one knew it was a guess, and they couldn’t diagnose it.” … “Restoration Healthcare, thank God, figured me out. They do things that regular doctors don’t seem to think of. This office is a blessing. The support system here is phenomenal. The thing with this illness [mold toxicity] is that it saps all of your energy. So, every two or three weeks, I came in to get a replenish-IV drip, making me feel tremendous for a couple weeks. I’ll just keep coming back until I am 100%.”
As you can see, the patient experience in an integrative medical clinic for complex chronic illnesses differs from that of a conventional clinic. Many of our patients have tried unsuccessfully to find healing using solely conventional medicine. We see a great deal of value in traditional medicine. Still, when combined with our novel diagnostic approaches and complementary uses of other forms of treatment, Restoration Healthcare’s integrative plan of care excels where others cannot.

Can a Restoration Healthcare doctor be my primary care physician?
Technically speaking, a primary care physician (PCP) provides the first contact for a person with an undiagnosed health concern. At Restoration Healthcare, we only see patients either as a referral from another medical practice, or when a patient fails to find the relief or support, they need from an existing healthcare provider. As a result, our physicians are viewed as specialists, not PCPs.
