As a patient, you can access your records and message our physicians 24 hours a day.
Dr. Beer and Dr. Morley are committed to educating our patients.
The word “doctor” is Latin for teacher. We take that seriously and believe that our patients should be educated on the mechanisms and causes of their illnesses.
The access you need!
IMNY ensures that you always have access to the appropriate staff.
Identify
The hallmark of our practice is identifying and treating the underlying mechanisms of illness.
Test
Our extensive and exclusive testing is used to deeply delve into your health. This allows us to go upstream to the source of the problem.
Connect
This allows us to “connect the dots” of the seemingly unrelated symptoms, which actually do have a common underlying cause.
Treat
Our evaluation, along with an in-depth history and physical examination, allow us to establish goals in an orderly and timely fashion, which aligns with your goals.
Lifestyle and Mind-Body Connection
Your mental health is often key to physical health. Simply stated, we believe in the mind-body connection that has been the hallmark of medicine for thousands of years, but seemingly forgotten in our present day and age.
The Integrative Medical NY Functional Medicine Way
It is important to approach medical problems in a functional way.
Why?
Because today’s conventional medical exam is focused simply on disease detection and then relies on the treatment of symptoms without identifying the CAUSE of those symptoms.
We don’t do that.
We identify the underlying medical problems, go upstream to the source of your symptoms, reverse disease, and defer aging.
The Medical History
This is important because each event, whether it’s a medical, psychological, or structural problem, leaves an imprint in us and on us that can manifest in illness years or decades later. We log all of the events chronologically, then interpret them by what we call “connecting the dots medicine” to see how these events have led to a patient’s current condition. By providing this extended context, we identify all actionable steps which can support the challenge of making changes and truly healing.
The Physical Exam
Unfortunately, the classic physical exam of today’s medicine has been replaced by reliance on imaging and the structural information imaging provides. Conversely, as Functional Medicine physicians, we are “detectives”. By combining the extremely detailed history and extensive physical exam, we realize that the patient’s body can provide a wealth of structural and functional clues.
Testing
It is estimated that nearly 90% of people have underlying medical conditions that are often either unknown or unrecognized, affecting the risk for heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses. Unfortunately, in today’s world, most physicians are not trained in the early diagnosis of these conditions. This is further complicated by the fact that blood tests rely on “normal” values, which is very often misleading. Simply stated, what’s normal for one person may not be normal for someone else. Medicine should not be a “one size fits all” proposition; thus, we treat every patient individually. This concept of bio-individuality is ofter where traditional medicine misses the mark.
Functional Testing
Conventional testing provides a snapshot of an individual’s health. On the other hand, functional testing looks at complex metabolic intermediaries and patterns to identify active treatable problems that are often missed with conventional testing. We often go so far as to perform DNA analysis which provides us with much more sensitive and specific insights into any problems that have arisen or problems in the future so we can treat them before serious issues arise. This is the preventative health aspect of our practice which is not yet valued in today’s healthcare system.
