Timothy N. Tidwell

Overview

My philosophy of patient care and the reason I chose to practice primary care is centered around developing authentic relationships. When a physician and patient develop a strong relationship this leads to them working together as a team to achieve their best health. Although trained in the art of western medicine, I truly believe the secret to health lies in ancient and natural practices that do not require a prescription, namely, exercise, nutrition, and mindfulness. I am passionate about helping patients formulate a sustainable plan to engage in these three art forms for the rest of their lives. When these practices fail to achieve the results we desire, there is a place for modern medicine, but hopefully only as an adjunct to these natural paths of health.

His top areas of expertise are Hypothyroidism, Obesity in Children, Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), and Agranulocytosis.

His clinical research consists of co-authoring 3 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.
