Most patients who come to my office do so by referral from their family doctor or a referral from one of my patients. I have purposely strived to garner most of my business through word of mouth from those who have experienced care in our office or are familiar with the way we practice. I believe this is the best way to build a practice, and more importantly to gain the trust and confidence of patients early on.

Almost every week in practice I am asked, “Doc, is this supplement I am taking good.” My answer is usually the same, it’s not an answer but a question. I ask them why they are taking them in the first place. I then encounter strange looks that resemble my dog cocking his head and looking at me with a puzzled look of where is the treat you promised me. Unfortunately, vitamin supplements are something that we all kind of know is a good idea, but the confusion is which ones are worth buying, and I believe patients in a subconscious way go with ones that are recommended by a friend, an article in a newspaper or magazine, or an infomercial that is on TV at 3 a.m. But the question remains, who is fact checking that these supplements contain the magic stuff to make you feel good, and enough of it to match with research that has been done. On a good note, most vitamins you take have been extensively studied for safety; but the problem is most over the counter supplements do not put in quality ingredients, or enough of what you need. Patients end up taking lots of vitamins and they lose track of why they started taking them in the first place.
