Recent Patient Story:

“For the last year or so, I noticed that I seemed to feel sluggish and lacked energy that I used to have. I had just attributed this feeling to ‘getting older’ (I am now 63). I was also experiencing a chronic cough, that was becoming very annoying, not only to myself, but to others around me. I decided to have a check-up with my family (GP) doctor. He found nothing and suggested I might just have a mild case of asthma and prescribed some medicine for asthma. After several more months, still no change-still the continual coughing...

I scheduled an appointment with Preventive Medicine and met with Dr. Rathod. This was around the end of 2008...Dr. Rathod suggested a strict diet and prescribed several pills and vitamin supplements to correct this condition...At my last check-up, some 7 months after beginning this program, I have started to jog, resume some of my past hobbies, and have quit the constant coughing. I feel like I am 20 yrs younger. OH, and I lost about 25 lbs and dropped a waist size from 38’s to 36’s-an unexpected and very rewarding surprise. Dr. Rathod has been a ‘life saver’ for me.” William S., St. Louis, MO

How is Preventive Medicine different from my regular primary care office?

Most primary care providers practice only conventional medicine with a problem-focused approach to health. At Preventive Medicine, we recommend both conventional and alternative medicine, embracing an integrative medical model. By exploring the underlying root causes of a patient's illnesses, Dr. Rathod and her staff are able to customize a treatment plan based on that patient's individual needs.

What issues does Dr. Rathod treat?

Dr. Rathod is a board certified Internist and Rheumatologist who treats the full range of medical issues typically seen in a family practice setting. She regularly see patients with a variety of conditions, including diabetes, chronic fatigue, and gender-related health issues.
