Authentic Conversations: Fostering Honesty and Openness in Your Doctor’s Office

It is so important we set examples for our children. In business, family life, self-care, sleep, hygiene, and of course diet and exercise. Dr. Stephen Finney specifically points out normalizing eating and exercising. Dr. Finney realizes some people don’t grow up with that example.

He ensures each patient who enters his office feels comfortable enough to open up to him so that he can customize a care plan according to each patient's needs. He wants to treat his patients (young and aging) as a whole not just the primary reason for the visit. He wants to get to the root cause of the need for medication and possibly find an alternative such as meditation. Dr. Finney also shares his stance on vaccines and their place in medicine.

His patient, Tim Hughes, feels very comfortable talking to Dr. Finney about anything. Honesty is so important in your care especially if you are currently on any medications. He trusts Dr. Finney and his advice on how to stay active and be aware of his diet.
