Letter from Dr. Reddy
“Thank you for choosing a multidimensional approach to your healthcare. In this high-demand work culture or home setting, we often overlook the love and attention that our bodies require. I am excited to provide that level of care for you each time. My approach to medical care focuses on achieving optimal health with evidence-based medicine and promoting longevity.
Traditionally, we are taught in medical school that preventing a problem or disease is accomplished through examinations, age-appropriate screenings, and a battery of tests. Once identified, medications or counseling are given to treat the problem. For instance, checking cholesterol levels and then initiating medication or modifying your diet, or monitoring routine blood pressure to identify the risks of elevated blood pressure and prevent heart disease or stroke. I will not solely rely on your blood test levels for hormone or vitamin deficiency – insufficiency, but will seek to understand the underlying causes of these abnormal levels.
In my approach, for example, a professional boxer may need to maintain upper arm strength and agility. I will individualize their biometrics through periodic assessments, IV therapies, photothermotherapy, and goal-directed medication optimization. A runner might need to maintain stamina, leg muscle strength, and agility, and I can monitor the same for their goal-directed therapy.
Similarly, if you’re a homemaker, you require a sound mind, stamina, vigor, and a healthy body to care for your family, along with good sexual health. I can work with your goals using frequent biometric data, toning therapy, and IV infusion therapies.
From treating a simple pimple to addressing acute symptoms of distress, I will be there for you. With my specialty in older adult medicine, I can identify cognitive deficits and functional deficits earlier than most, along with this comprehensive care model.”
