Dr. Sinoff’s approach is “Partnered Care”.* In partnered care there are two “experts”. 1. The patient is the expert who best knows their personal core values, and their unique medical history, including prior and current illnesses, reactions to medication (expected and unexpected) as well as their unique emotional profile. 2. The care provider has training in medical science, growing in the career-long process of accumulating information and experience utilized to address specific issues pertinent to the patient’s health concerns.
