At Pioneer Comprehensive Medical, we do more than prescribe medications. We approach your treatment from a balance of nutrition, exercise, medications, and mental/emotional health and analyze your health history to get to the root of the problem. Health and well-being should be a way of life, and a balanced approach to health is the best. That’s why our practice is progressive, research-driven, and entails a holistic approach to each patient (meaning we take into the account the emotional and mental as well as the physical). The type of medicine we practice is called functional medicine. For the last 20 years we have been successful in helping people lose weight. However we have learned that even though we spend a lot of time teaching patients how to lose weight, it needs to be taught over a period of time and not just in one appointment. That is why we have changed the way we do weight loss at PCM. It is now program based. This way you can find what works best for you, and you can have as much or as little support you need to be successful. - Connect your Apple Watch to track workouts, steps, habits, and more right from your wrist - Connect to other wearable devices and apps like the Apple Health App, Garmin, Fitbit, MyFitnessPal, and Withings devices to track workouts, sleep, nutrition, and body stats and composition
