Empowering Patient Advocacy: A Commitment to Genuine Care at Health+Plus

In the world of healthcare, it is disheartening to learn that many women have felt their symptoms were disregarded or dismissed as “imaginary” by their physicians. In fact, a 2022 survey indicated that 71% of women said that a physician had told them that their symptoms were imagined.

This is also known as gaslighting. Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which one person attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in another person’s mind. In medicine this includes not taking the patient’s concerns seriously, or even determining that the patient is ‘only imagining’ their symptoms.

To be blunt: it has no place in medicine.

At Health+Plus, located in Oak Grove, Missouri, we are committed to providing an environment where your concerns are heard and respected. As holistic medicine providers, we believe in empowering our patients and fostering a genuine partnership in your healthcare journey.

Listening with Genuine Concern

Our care team approach patient consultations with deep empathy and genuine concern. We acknowledge the validity of your symptoms and take the time to review and understand the discomfort you’re experiencing. Your voice matters, and we are here to listen.

Comprehensive Evaluations

When you become a new patient at Health+Plus, we embark on a comprehensive evaluation process to uncover the root causes of your health challenges. We go beyond the norm, conducting an array of urine and blood tests, lung function tests, EKG, and other assessments. Our commitment to examining the whole person ensures that no potential abnormalities are overlooked.

Addressing Multiple Factors

We understand that health issues can stem from a variety of factors, and we leave no stone unturned in our pursuit of understanding. An individual’s health problems may have various underlying causes, such as circulation issues, deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, chronic infections, physical and mental stresses, or harmful lifestyle choices. At Health+Plus, we address what we find and provide tailored recommendations aimed at improving your well-being.

Taking Patients Seriously
