CCIM specializes in achieving precise diagnoses for conditions in the scope of internal medicine. Frequently people come to us who have suffered for years without diagnosis for complicated symptoms.
The first step is an evaluation with the physician: A comprehensive and extraordinarily thorough history and physical examination. Based on this initial assessment, further testing may be necessary. While any physician can order tests, Dr. DV specializes in interpretation of the tests, then using those interpretations to create customized programs targeted to the unique needs of each person. These treatment plans emphasize rapid improvement of symptoms, emotional well-being, and close follow-up.
Each patient undergoes a thorough diagnostic workup and establishment of diagnoses prior to initiating therapy.
BLOOD TESTS
DIAGNOSTIC TESTING
We use cutting-edge testing and resources to achieve an articulation of the underlying causes of presenting symptoms. Typically we discover the unique physiology and biochemistry, as well as organ and hormone function, of each person we serve.
Metabolic panels
Cholesterol levels
Blood sugars
Systemic and cardiac inflammation
Iron levels and blood counts
Vitamin D levels
Thyroid hormone levels
Liver biosynthetic capacity and function
Kidney function
Evaluation of clotting capacity
Zonulin – which measures intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”)
URINE & STOOL TESTS
DIAGNOSTIC TESTING
Levels of micronutrients (which are essential for optimal cellular function) including: Vitamins (E, C and A), minerals, CoQ10, organic acids, amino acids (including branched-chain), glutathione, alpha lipoic acid, pancreatic enzymes, probiotics, B-vitamins( including folic acid and B12), metabolic markers and lipid peroxides.
Neurotransmitter levels
DUTCH urine steroid hormone metabolite testing
Presence of infection
Kidney function
Pancreatic function
Inflammation
Gut Microbiome
Presence of parasites, fungus (Candida)
Levels of endogenous (“good”) bacteria
Levels of pathogenic (“bad”) bacteria
Measures of dysbiotic gut environment
Presence of food allergies
Amounts of small chain fatty acids and bile acids
Presence of infection
pH
