SESSION METHOD

​

The Art of Medicine

​​

In today’s ever changing healthcare, physicians are either not taught or don’t have time to think critically, thus rely on spontaneous mechanism of their intuitive autopilot.  Lower reimbursement payouts, insurance denials and complexities, higher cost of doing business, fulfilling accreditation requirements, rising malpractice insurance, and personal debt, all amount to physician’s unhappiness and burnout. To still make a living, physicians must see 30-80 patients a day to continue operating there business and make enough living to sustain their families. The abandonment of analytical process has plagued the medical community, especially when diagnosing or treating Lyme patients.  

​

Dr. Frid decided to go the other route. She applies the analytic process to all her patients. This is a conscious, slower, and deliberate process that is more reliable.

​

In this process, Dr. Frid

  • Conducts thorough history and detailed physical exam

  • Analyze and goes over testing and information provided by other physicians

  • Order confirmatory cutting edge advanced imaging and diagnostic tests

    • Carotid Doppler (CD)

    • Cat scans (CT) 

    • CT angiography (CTA)

    • DaTScan

    • Echocardiogram (ECHO)

    • Electrocardiogram (EKG)

    • Electroencephalogram (EEG)

    • Lumbar puncture / spinal tap with opening and closing pressures ​​

    • Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA)

    • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

    • Magnetic Resonance Venography (MRV)

    • MRI brain with NeuroQuant 

    • Nerve conductions study / Electromyography (NCV/EMG)

    • Nuclear medicine imaging studies such as

      • ​Brain Positron emission tomography (PET scan )

      • ​Brain Single photon emission tomography (SPECT scan)

    • Transcranial Dopplers (TCD)

    • Videonystagmography (VNG)

    • X-Rays

  • Use of innovative specialty blood work​

    • Advanced Laboratory Services

    • Clongen Lab

    • Cunningham panel

    • Evaluate for various infectious and inflammatory processes

    • Galaxy

    • Hypercoagulable work up

    • iGenex ​

    • ​Paraneoplastic panel

      • Testing for integrity of one's immune system

      • Testing for Mold 

      • Testing for Vitamin and Miniral deficiencies 

      • Testing for Yeast

      • Thyroid testing

  • Antineuronal antibody testing

  • ​​Consult with colleagues

  • Consider all diagnostic possibilities.

  • Interpretations and application of such information to each unique case is an art of its own.

​

Patients who consult with Dr Frid are looking for methodical one-on-one specialized approach, a different perspective, one that abandons some of the usual assumptions and treats the patient. Her critical thinking and re-evaluation as new information comes in, allows for a new formulation in which the formerly impossible becomes possible.​​ Please note all examination, treatment and management is provided solely by Dr. Frid.
