I spent the summer of  ‘97 at SIMC and began my treatment for my own "incurable disease". Beyond my wildest dreams, day by day, my symptoms gradually began to improve. Miraculously, I watched myself get better. Today, I am an active, fully functional human being.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

No Success Can Compensate for the Premature Failure of Our Bodies. That is the creed of Sierra Integrative Medical Center (SIMC) where the emphasis is on treating the cause of a disease, not just the symptoms. SIMC has treated thousands of patients from all corners of the world with its unique blend of both conventional and alternative medicine.

In conventional medicine, physicians have no orientation except to treat a symptom and they use a pattern of symptoms to “diagnose” a disease.  When a disease is diagnosed it is then treated; all cases being treated the same.  For instance any infection, regardless of the type, is treated with an antimicrobial.  At Sierra Integrative Medical Center a “diagnosis” is immaterial—our physicians focus on what is causing the patient’s health condition and this can vary from patient to patient.  Patients at SIMC, even those with the same “diagnoses” are treated differently.  For example, a patient may have a “diagnosis” of Multiple Sclerosis.  The cause(s) of this disease can vary from viral infections, bacterial infections, from hyper sensitivities to vaccinations, Toxoplasmosis or ParvoVirus from ones pets or even Lyme Disease from a tick bite.

Infectious diseases attack a patient’s weakest or most susceptible organ.  These organs are targeted because they are genetically weak or have been chronically affected over the years by the various underline illnesses that may or may not have noticeable symptoms.  Since each individual has their own unique constitution, behavioral and environmental history, the same disease can manifest different symptoms in different patients.  Similarly, different diseases can cause the same symptoms.  By eliminating the cause of the disease, the human being, with its natural healing ability, can recover from the illnesses.

Therefore many diseases deemed “incurable” may indeed become “curable.”

Our physicians have successfully treated the causes of many degenerative, “incurable” diseases including chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, Lyme Disease, viral infections, chemical and metal toxicities, allergies, motor neuron disease and a host of other generalized infectious diseases and environmental illnesses.

The physicians at Sierra Integrative Medical Center are board certified in allopathic (conventional), osteopathic, and homeopathic medicine.  The combined practices of our physicians enable SIMC to offer our patients an integrated approach to treatment utilizing traditional Western medicine, European medicine and natural healing Eastern medicine.  Each patient receives individualized treatments developed for them based on the confirmed causes of their diagnoses and symptoms. The treatment modalities considered in developing a patient’s unique treatment program include intravenous immunotherapies, Chinese and European herbal medicine, neural therapies, biological and orthomolecular medicines.

OUR TREATMENTS

Sierra Integrative Medical Center captures the most from all schools of medicine throughout the creation of our individualized treatment programs. We utilize scientifically proven conventional treatments in combination with alternative therapies that are designed to strengthen the body so it can heal itself. Additionally, rather than emphasizing a reversal of a health condition, we emphasize preventive protocols, so as to avoid recurrence and the development of new problems.

A patient's treatment program is based on an initial comprehensive evaluation that includes a complete history and physical as well as a thorough laboratory analysis. The treatment program is assembled from various disciplines of the healing arts including but not limited to homeopathy, natural and biological medicines, behavioral medicine, nutritional therapies, orthomolecular integration and neurotherapy. The time and effort invested in individualizing the treatment programs proposes eradication of illness and restoration of health to the body.

 

YOUR STAY

Sierra Integrative Medical Center is a freestanding outpatient clinic. Please make arrangements for a 3 to 5 day stay to complete the initial consultation. Extensive testing occurs throughout the 3 to 5 days and is necessary to complete the comprehensive needs assessment. (Note: Due to the sensitivity of many people, please do not wear fragrances (perfumes, colognes, scented creams, etc. on the days of your clinic visits.)

 

COST

The cost of an initial patient consultation is $350.00. This fee includes an initial interview, a comprehensive history and physical examination along with a state-of-the-art electro-diagnostic screening. Laboratory tests will be ordered by your attending physician at that time. These lab tests will incur fees over and above the initial patient consultation fee and may cost from $200.00 to $2,500.00. After the initial in-depth consultation is completed and the laboratory results have come back and have been reviewed by your physician, an individual treatment program will be developed and discussed with you by one of our highly qualified staff. The approximate length of treatment and cost will be outlined at that time.

Some recommended treatments and services may be covered by your health insurance. However, Sierra Integrative Medical Center is not a provider for any insurance companies at this time. Currently, most of our treatments are considered “alternative and preventative” and are not covered by insurance. Fees for the initial evaluation and lab tests are due at the end of the first day. Fees for treatment are due every Friday during the treatment phase. For any services covered by your insurance, you may submit your SIMC receipt for reimbursement to your insurance company. These receipts contain all information required for reimbursement.

Additionally if any other materials are needed by your insurance company SIMC will be happy to provide any assistance as needed.

Please note: SIMC has formally opted out of the Medicare program by the insistence of medicare.

SIMC is a fee-for-service medical center and does not accept any insurance as a form of payment.
