Darcy McCarthy, of Buffalo Grove is a case in point. She and her husband and their two daughters are patients at the Center for Holistic Medicine in Riverwoods. If I went to a hospital to see a medical doctor, he'd prescribe medication and I'd probably never use it. I don't mind paying for health care that works. First, call the center and ask for information.
Some places offer brochures and even videotapes on the type of services they provide.
You may want to ask if they also have information on the different therapies their practitioners practice. Depending upon a center's policies, you may be able to meet with a representative from the clinic to discuss their healthcare philosophy before you make an appointment. Whatever you do, pay attention to your gut feelings. Pay attention to your feelings. They are your best guide.
