The doctor discussed with me during my visit the use of some vitamins and or supplements to take (or lifestyle changes). Do I have to use this advice?

Our practice is an integrative practice therefore often the physician depending on your condition will do the standard medical evaluation and offer those options in addition to nutrition counseling and information about alternative therapies that may also apply for your care. However you are never obligated to only choose from standard or alternative therapies as part of your plan of care. If you have concerns about this please discuss them directly with the physician.
