TRANSCRIPT:Defy Medical is your concierge wellness and preventive medicine clinic we treat patients both locally here in Tampa Florida, and across the country via telemedicine. What sets
Defy Medical apart is that Defy Medical CARES everyone you come in contact with at Defy Medical from the medical providers, to the intake staff, to the medical assistants that help you
with your standard and routine questions, place you as number one. You're not a number in the system you're a living breathing patient that we all care about. We care about your wellness. we care about your health. Ultimately, we care about making you happy. One issue that I see commonly with patients is that they come to me not necessarily too late but later than they perhaps should have. By me I mean Defy Medical, seeking treatment with us. I see patients coming when they've struggled with other physicians that haven't really listened to them, haven't treated them as a patient but treated them more so as a number on a piece of paper. Told them
that they're normal when they're having symptoms that are bothersome to them and told them that they may need to see a psychiatrist and need medication to treat their issues. That is bothersome to me in the sense that oftentimes when we evaluate those patients we do find
issues we find problems, whether, it be with their hormones or whether it be with other variables that we discuss on consultation and with lab work. Many of those patients, because of the negative experiences they've had with other providers, other clinics, they delay seeking health care thereafter because of the negative experience. The only one that suffers from that is the
patient themselves. They come to us years later. They've had the symptoms ongoing, they put on weight, oftentimes they've been fatigued, they're not really enjoying their life. They may be diabetic or prediabetic, have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and oftentimes it's frustrating to me because I think if I could have gotten my hands on that patient five years sooner we could have potentially prevented those issues, which are now plaguing the patient and in essence that's where the preventative aspect of this medicine comes into play. Getting the patient's early, seeing the problems they have, recognizing the problems that they have, and treating them to prevent the suffering that may come on later. As the medical director here at Defy Medical and lead practicing physician, I've made it my personal priority to set a culture with our providers and our staff that places the patient number one. Listening to the patient's concerns addressing those
concerns and developing a comprehensive treatment approach that will help the patient not only to feel better but also potentially live longer and a healthy happier life.
