The thrill of experiencing good health is hard to describe to the unhealthy. Until you get there, you won't know. We will coach you, lift you into our Lifetime of Good Health. Follow us down the path. Prevent degenerative disease. Experience quality of life.
Why???
Moving through a 29 year long career in Emergency Medicine into Orthopedic Medicine and Pain Management, Dr. Filgas began to fully comprehend the intricate complexities of interplay between the multitude of hormonal and metabolic issues which become prevalent in midlife. Applying this newly evolving subspeciality of Age Management to her practice was the inevitable end result. This collection of expertises has given her a unique ability to treat chronic disease and play a role in protecting the health of her patients. This is accomplished through a uniquely devised personalized program for each and every patient. She utilizes the proper bioidentical hormornes, nonsurgical orthopedic, metabolic exercise, lifestyle and nutritional interventions. Where needed, sophisticated diagnostic and surgical interventions are applied through the choice of subspecialists, each chosen for their unique expertise in the problem at hand. Finally, icing on the cake, she is an expret in Aesthetic Medicine using laser, Botox, skin peels, thread lifts and a multitude of other types of interventions so that the outside reflects the beauty of the inside.
Medical Practice Goals
Through nearly 30 years of practice I have learned a lot. This has altered the way in which I practice medicine. In this moment my practices is a melange of interventions expecially designed for each and every patient in order to achieve a state of improved body health, stamina, clarity of thought, and fortitude.I am your coach. I will guide you, but you must first understand the concepts and then have the desire and motivation to go there. It cannot be done without your cooperation. You are my piece of art. Help me by changing your life to optimize quality. It should always be quality of life that reigns supreme in your life.
Age Management
Bioidentical hormones are at the core of a full age management treatment plan. So are exercise, precise nutrition, and supplements. This requires a solid commitment on the part of the patient who is goal oriented. That being said, the process is a slow, methodical approach to the best health that a being can expect at their particular age. The goal is preservation of a vigorous, attractive, life-loving, emotionally well balanced human being.
Bioidentical Hormones . . .
are biologically indentical to the hormones produced in the human body in a young person around the age of 20. The goal of replacing them in later years is to supplement the deficit which occurs with the aging process. Generally the goal is to bring them back up to those of a 40 year old in good health without creating or exacerbating other medical problems. These are administered through the skin or mucous membrances by injection. They can be a life transforming intervention.
Aesthetic Medicine . . .
encompasses a number of types of interventions including Botox; laser treatments for hair removal, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, broken capillaries and other colored skin defects (not including acctual cancers), acne scarring; lifting of sagging in the face with surgical threads; lip and other facial fillers; medical peels and medical grade skin products designed to actually result in biological changes in the skin.
Orthopedic of Musculoskeletal Medicine . . .
is the area of medicine directed toward chronic painful, mostly traumatic, but sometimes metabolically induced, conditions. This includes the treatment of spinal, joint, arthritic, and disc injuries. Frequently these conditions are accompanied by chronic, painful muscle spasms or headaches. The list goes on. In our practice we try to address these things nonsurgically, but have accessw to the finest specialists around if surgical or interventional diagnostic techniques are required.
Supplements . . .
commonly referred to as vitamins ( a term which in my opinion trivilaizes their role in the workings of the human body) are ABSOLUTELY required for the purpose of facilitating the metabolic machinery constantly occurring in our cells. Our cells, each and every one of them, is like a little energy producing machine. In the absence of these molecules, energy production, cognition, strength, and other organ function simply doesn't happen efficiently. People are all somewhat different. Each person requires somewhat different molecules, but there is significant commonality amonth us. Supplements MUST be pharmaceutical grade as there is no governmental oversight of quality issues. Let us help you to determine what you personally need.
Nutrition
The informational arena of nutrition is vast and complicated. Certain disease states require unique approaches. Basically, however, each human being is metabolically different and requires nutritional support designed to enhance the experience of being on the earth living a quality life. We will coach you. You will learn.
Exercise . . .
is an integral part of any health expending equation. Without it there is no stimulation of endorphin, growth hormone and other important proteins which run the human body in an optimum way. We are prepared to coach your personal exercise program in order to support your unique mind and body without forcing you into an exercise program that does not comport with your abilities and needs. Come down the road.
