Welcome to owensboro family wellness- two practices integrated to educate, empower, and achieve wellness
Our medical system is broken. As a patient, it is common to feel like just a number, and you don’t feel you can get the quality of care or the time you deserve. It’s hard to ask your questions when someone is limited to 5 minutes with you, and is facing a computer the whole time. You often question if the provider really understands what your symptoms are, what you’re going through, or any of the issues you face. They didn’t ask what you wanted to do, or go into why their “recommendation” was important. You were told what to do, and sometimes, you can be fired as a patient for not following every order they gave you. You might have been told that there is no alternative and no other options. The last time you asked about a supplement or vitamin, you were told they all cause drug interactions, and if they worked, they would be FDA approved. You may have been told to “lose weight”, or “decrease your salt intake”, but no one explained how or more importantly why. Or you have been trying to “treat” your illness by taking a medication with a book of side effects, that can be “managed” by taking more medications. You truly don’t know what to do, and you are more confused and discouraged now than ever. You have been searching the internet day and night for an alternative, and every friend or relative has a suggestion. You don’t know what works, what’s safe, and what is worth spending your money and time on. You just want someone you can trust, someone who can have a conversation with you, and you want to fix the root cause of whatever got you here.
