New Patients
Patient Selection
At the Life Extension Center, we understand that many of our patients . . .
- Are unresponsive or are poorly responsive to the conventional standard of care.
- Have acute or chronic conditions which have not been fully explored or diagnosed with conventional approaches.
- Have conditions which can be managed, in part, by conventional medicine, but with continued progression of the disease process and deterioration in quality of life.
- Have conditions for which no conventional standard of care is currently available
The Life Extension Center has limitations, as do all providers of medical care. In order to provide more effective care for our patients, we strive to accept those individuals we believe can benefit the most through our integrative medicine approach. Therefore, patient selection is a critical aspect of our progress. As a result, all prospective new patients are interviewed by our staff and screened to determine if they are appropriate candidates for treatment at the Life Extension Center.
