Absolutely! Ciba Health’s Type 2 Diabetes Reversal Program is 6 months long, followed by a 6-month maintenance phase. After you complete this, you will want to continue regular appointments with your primary care physician.

Virtual visits are one of the most convenient ways to receive medical care and include email, phone calls, and video visits over our secure patient portal. When medically appropriate, this allows you to stay in the comfort of your home, office, or hotel when traveling and receive medical care virtually.

Virtual visits work well for:

• Reviewing test results
• Following up on how you are feeling about a new therapy or medication changes
• Nutrition and lifestyle coaching and education
• Creating your next steps to reach your health goals

Virtual visits do not work well for:

• Conditions requiring physical exams (listening to your heart or lungs, looking in your ears, eyes, throat, or feeling lymph nodes or glands)

We recognize the value of utilizing nutritional supplements when the situation makes clinical sense and patients are interested in this type of therapeutic approach. We have identified high-quality products that are regularly tested and meet the strict requirements of Good Manufacturing Processes. The cost of the nutritional supplements are included in the program, at no cost to you.

Functional Medicine is a field of medicine that is focused on identifying the source of the symptoms in the body that lead to a medical condition. While we still use prescription medications and standard testing, we’re also looking to reverse the actual source of the problem rather than just manage the symptoms that are caused by the health condition.

Ciba Health’s physicians are board certified MD’s or DO’s. They have chosen to seek additional training in Functional Medicine, so they can help their patients identify the underlying causes of their symptoms. While Functional Medicine has a role in nearly all medical conditions, it is particularly well suited for preventing, treating, and even reversing chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, irritable bowel syndrome, digestive disturbances, ulcerative colitis, arthritis, allergies/asthma, Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid dysfunction, and hormone imbalances, just to name a few.

If you are interested in learning more about Functional Medicine, we encourage you to visit the Institute for Functional Medicine at www.IFM.org.

Yes! In fact, one of the first realizations that most physicians have when they begin their Functional Medicine training is how they must go back to the basics in biochemistry and pathophysiology to understand how dysfunction begins at the molecular level and identify when one of these thousands of clinical pathways goes awry to cause symptoms and disease.

Yes. Prescription refills can be requested either through our online patient portal or by calling us at (347) 352-2316, ext 2. The physician will only refill prescriptions when they meet the following criteria:

• The prescription was written by a Ciba Health physician or was written previously by another provider for a condition that is now under the Ciba Health physician’s care and is felt to be medically indicated to continue.
• The request for a refill was submitted either through our secure online patient portal or via phone request.
• The prescription has refills remaining. If all refills have been used, you will need to make an appointment with a doctor to receive a new prescription.
