I'm a alien. That's right, I'm a bloody Martian. Right? I know, me too. (I'm teasing, checking to see if you're paying attention.)
Veritas offers a lot of support via their expandshare website with educational videos and a lot of great info. Basically, you have to take good care of your body, and they have looked at a lot of leading edge, functional medicine info that you gradually are seeing parts of acknowledged in the regular medical system. Veritas is a much more wholistic and systemic approach that wants you to fix the system, not just parts of you at a time.
Best approach to actually solving the root issue underneath my symptoms. Never waited more than 5 minutes in the waiting room and almost always get an hour or so with my nurse practitioner or doc.
I know they see a lot of unrealistic people. Those who want to pop a pill for everything. Or who expect immediate change. Look, you didn't get into this shape over night, why would you think it would change over night? Be real and take some ownership. Nature takes time, so be patient with yourself and them.
For that I thank them, despite the short comings in customer service. And my family thanks them.
Excellent! A team of professionals for people who are serious about taking control of their health and making some serious changes.
Would we recommend them? We have, and will continue. Life is a wicked mystery and puzzle. This is one important piece of that puzzle for me. I'm sure as they move forward, it'll improve. But like fixing years of treating your body like a toxic dumping ground, it will take some time. And it looks like I'll have more time on my hands to see them improve. Thanks!
This is an updated review. I felt it important to share recent insights. I still stand by the original post. But there''s been a positive change in the communication. It appears some changes in personnel may explain it. But the other services are still limited if you don't live there. (I understand, but not everyone has face plant, I mean Face book). Still I feel the intent is genuine and the alternative approach honorable.
The follow up visit was better. They still seem a bit stand offish. And no, I'm not expecting hugs and giggles. But they're not like Dr. Edwards on the videos. So if you're expecting that, don't. Even at the front desk they're cold. There's no sincere greetings or smiles. Maybe it's due to them living in the most dangerous city in Texas. I don't know. But customer service training would go a long way. Hint, hint. This is a person's life. The very concept of trying to improve it should imply that you care. So act like it. People take this path because they are either lost in the medical world of BS or frustrated with it. They need help, support and positive vibes. Not to feel uncomfortable and awkward while seeking answers. It goes against the image being put forth.
Our 31 year old daughter struggled with complex chronic health issues for over 8 years declining to the point where she was unable to participate in life. Mainstream medicine had few answers and the only solutions involved medications with side effects. It left us all frustrated and without hope. After 8 months at Veritas I can't explain in words the transformation she's now experiencing! Our prayers are being answered! She's actually illuminating from the inside out; enjoying life and feeling hopeful for a future she'd almost given up on. This is not easy...it's been a process, not only with healing but a learning journey as well. It takes a great deal of ownership, commitment, trust and patience. The payoff is huge! The practitioners are supportive, compassionate, very knowledgable and up to date on current research. Over time the "whys" will be answered as well as recommendations and steps to take so your body can begin healing. You can feel confident that Veritas is fuelled by their sincere desire to help their patients live an abundant and healthy life!
But to learn that there was a genetic element at the core of my issues since birth. Well, I didn't expect that. Had never thought of that. No other doctor went that far before, despite me requesting it. Then when all the results were in, it was pretty clear.
But time spent in the office has been far more than I've had with other doctors. They do want the patient to be self-educated. And I appreciate when discussing alternative concepts that they don’t attack you. Unlike allopathic doctors, who see alternative methods as voodoo. I also understand that my experience isn't the same as most folks. Nor my expectations for that matter. I get what they're putting down. This approach isn't foreign to me.
No, this isn't a cheap service. It's all out of pocket, so yes, I expect quality that's real and of value. I don't want to be another slot in their day. But a sincere focus. If you're going to preach about doing what is different than the rest, then do it with every thing and do it well.
Will I continue? Yes, I'm vested for months to come. And I've seen some value in the process. With having things looked at a bit closer, and time spent addressing all the areas. It's not perfect, but it's better than the allopathic doctors. I've been battling doctors for years saying something wasn't right. And each time the blame was placed on me. And I admit I added to my condition, despite having knowledge; out of ignorance, laziness, or following the herd. Anyone who has tried, knows it's not a easy row to hoe.
I feel better than I have in at least 10 years. This approach does require some major diet and lifestyle changes, and I am still working on it. They are all healthy changes. I am gradually reducing prescription meds and feel more consistently happy and focused than I have since before my 10 year old was born. It is NOT a quick fix. I have been going there for almost 3 years.Had I made immediate and complete changes, I would probably be doing even better. I have made changes as I can.
A lot of questions were answered when the results came in. And I would have died at a young age like my father I'm sure, had it not been for this doctor. And that, as my family said, "...was worth a pot of gold."
