Successes
One of five routine physicals fails to detect a serious problem
At David Drew, success is measured in good medical outcomes. We strive to uncover illness early enough to substantially improve longevity and quality of life. To be successful, we go beyond the standard health checkup to explore all aspects of your health.
We have uncovered a serious problem in one of five new patients. Most of these individuals had undergone regular routine physicals. For them, early detection has avoided catastrophe.
Problems such as
- impending brain artery obstruction
- serious asymptomatic heart disease
- aortic aneurysm
- cancers of kidney, prostate, colon, lung, etc.
- genetic predisposition to breast cancer
- osteoporosis
have been found before symptoms. Fortunately for all, appropriate interventions have resulted in cure or have lessened future risk.
Of course, an immediate and serious problem is not found in the majority of our new patients. In most, however, factors that predispose to future disease are identified. Patients benefit from our intensive effort to reduce risk, and enjoy the peace of mind afforded by periodic surveillance.
The David Drew Clinic Ten-Year Experience
Over the past ten years, our patients have enjoyed remarkable health. For those aged 45 - 65, the death rate was more than 12-fold lower than the national average, an accomplishment due primarily to the discovery and cure of latent lethal diseases.
