ADVANCED LIPID TESTING 

More than half the patients admitted in a hospital for an acute coronary event or a cerebrovascular event have normal or even low cholesterol levels. That is why we believe that with our advanced lipid testing which we do through health diagnostics laboratory and out CIMT testing (of the carotid arteries), we can detect and prevent many of these events before they actually manifest. We strive to continually augment our knowledge and implement what we learn in our office to help treat and prevent some of the biggest killers in our country like heart disease and type 2 diabetes. 

ALLERGY CLINIC

Eastern North Carolina is blessed with natural beauty, however this lends itself to be one of the worst places to live for allergy suffers. "If you don't have allergies, you will after you move to North Carolina" - is often quoted and true. We have teamed up with United Allergy Lab, one of the biggest allergy laboratories in the nation to bring in allergy testing right here in our office. It is a painless test that takes about 10-15 minutes and we look for the most common environmental allergens. Allergies cause daily symptoms in some people like headaches, sinus problems and the side effects of allergy medications are sometimes difficult to tolerate. Also, in some people, these medications do not completely take away their allergy symptoms. After your allergy test, our allergy technician will be able to make immunotherapy specifically designed for you, that you learn to administer to yourself. It is about 80% effective and people usually see a difference in a few months. This could be a long term and permanent solution to your allergy problems!  Please call and ask to set up an appointment.

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT CLINIC

We know that reaching and maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for your well-being and health. We have a nutritionist that works with our HDL laboratory and our patients to provide education in eating what works best for them keeping in mind their lifestyle, test results and genetics. We also work with our patients to come up with a personalized weight management system that is tuned to their lifestyle and schedule, whether it is a weekly visit or one every 3 months. We also use a program called "Take Shape for Life" which is the same weight management program that is used at Johns Hopkins University. Whether you want to lose 10lbs or a 100lbs, it works. It has the potential to help you lose weight in the same way and intensity as a bariatric surgery if done correctly. We want to work with our patients to get them to their optimal health. We have seen amazing results with this program. It really does work.
