Dr. Sam is an expert in understanding the many factors that contribute to the balance of good health. Using what is known from physiology, biochemistry and research, as well as ancient healing traditions, Dr. Sam Schikowitz is able to help you to decide which approaches, and in what amounts, will help to bring your body back to balance.  He will also help you maintain balance while under the usual stresses of life.

 

As my patient, you can expect the following:

  • I will view you and your condition with fresh eyes. This means that I will make few assumptions and listen to your story.

  • I will hold you with unconditional positive regard and healing intention at all times.

  • I will work to inform you of what we are doing, and why, at all times. I expect you to ask me if I forget to provide the information.

  • I will always be respectful of you, and also of your preferences with regard to evaluation methods and my recommendations for you. One of the advantages of holistic and integrated medicine is that we can almost always approach conditions from several angles and at different levels. The results of our approach will usually point toward the cause and the best way to address the condition.

  • I will be honest about the importance of any evaluative or theraputic strategy. If I feel it is dangerous not to go ahead with an evaluation or theraputic strategy, I will tell you. If I do not think that the theraptic strategies I can offer will help you, I will inform you. If I feel that there is another practitioner will provide a more effective service, I will refer you to that practitioner.

  • I will work to chose strategies that provide the most benefit, cause the least harm, and are the most economically efficient for you.

  • I will work to find the cause of your condition. If part of my strategy is to provide symptomatic relief, I will confer with you about that strategy.

  • I will treat you as a whole person and always keep in mind your long-term prevention and wellness.

  • I will work to provide you with all the tools, information, and support you need to succeed at your health and life goals.

  • If I am not sure of what is happening with your condition, I will do whatever research is required to find what is most currently known about your condition and the best way to approach it.

  • I will maintain confidentiality to the extent that is allowed by law.

Quotes

A diamond with a flaw is worth more
than a pebble without imperfections.
Chinese Proverb
Holistic

"I first visited Dr. Sam this winter to discuss some problems I was having with poor circulation and chronic coldness.
In my first appointment Sam was very enthusiastic about treating not only my circulation problems, but also asked me about other health issues I had been struggling with as well. He was incredibly open to hearing what I had to say about my own health, and made me feel that he was taking very careful consideration of everything that I had to say. Rather than isolate the problem, he helped me assess all the factors of my health and lifestyle which could be affecting my overall wellness.
He prescribed a Chinese Herbal tea for me that increased my circulation dramatically and made me feel so much warmer all the time. In addition, Dr. Sam's recommendations decreased my migraines, and need for medication, from once per week to once per month.
As a medical professional, Sam was caring and thoughful, and my visit to him was very refreshing. It was great to have my medical concerns treated with such an open-minded and holistic approach."

  • Shallow-water platform fire raises wider questions on oil safety,
    The fire Thursday at an oil platform off the Louisiana coast may not, in the end, do much harm to the Gulf of Mexico. But it could still mean trouble for both the Obama administration and the oil industry - by raising new questions about the gulf's oil fields.
  • Norway keen to exploit carbon capture lead.
    Since 1996, Statoil, the Norwegian state-owned energy company, has disposed of almost 13m tonnes of CO2 by burying it under the ocean floor. Thus far, it has shown no signs of leakage. That has made Norway something of a holy site for believers in carbon capture and storage.
  • Mariner has dealt with fires before.
    Mariner Energy Inc. has dealt with a history of fires, injuries and safety violations, including on the platform that caught fire in the Gulf of Mexico Thursday. But such problems aren't unusual in an industry that sees hundreds of safety and environmental problems every year.
