Dr. Casas is a believer in the old adage, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Unless you are actively following a proactive, preventive medicine program, just being evaluated periodically for disease is not enough. The goal is to identify disease risk factors and to implement changes to prevent the disease from occurring.
The First Step to Healthy Aging...
Call Dr. Casas personally to speak with her about your healthy aging goals. You will speak only to Dr. Casas and if she is not immediately available, she will return your call within 24 hours. This initial phone consultation is complimentary and risk-free.
After your initial, complimentary phone consultation with Dr. Casas, if you decide to accept the invitation to begin on your journey to healthy aging, you will receive a packet of information in the mail (or via e-mail), including a detailed medical history form. You will complete this medical history form and any other necessary forms and return it to Dr. Casas atleast 2 weeks before your initial one-on-one consultation.
Your 2 Hour One-on-One Consultation
Your 2 Hour, one-on-one consultation with Dr. Casas is your opportunity to discuss and have answered all of your questions regarding your healthy aging Age Management Program. The 2 hour consultation will be divided as follows, although some patients will require that more time be spent in one area as opposed to another:
- The first hour will include a thorough discussion of your Medical History/Healthy Aging Lifestyle Assessment and will include an hour long computer based overview of the program and a discussion of your goals for healthy aging through an Age Management Program.
- A thorough physical examination will follow, which will roughly last 20-30 minutes and will include Body Fat Analysis, Bone Mass Assessment, Muscle Mass Assessment, Determination of Metabolic Age, Body Water Analysis, Daily Caloric Intake and Visceral Fat Rating as well as Assessment of Common Biomarkers of Aging. Dr. Casas will explain any physical exam findings which are of concern to her.
- After the physical examination, you will review in line-by-line detail the results of your comprehensive initial laboratory work. This will take 20-30 minutes.
- The last half hour of the Consultation is spent in discussion about the Healthy Aging Treatment Plan. This will include a complete plan for nutrition with supplementation, exercise and hormone modulation. The treatment plan will be determined by you with Dr. Casas' guidance and expertise. This is customized medicine and therefore, your participation is requested. You will make the ultimate decisions after Dr. Casas has presented you with a comprehensive explanation of her recommendations based on the evidence based medicine available in Age Management Medicine. Dr. Casas will explain to you the exact nature of any imbalance you may have in your lab profile and will show you how your customized treatment program will improve it.
