Rain Shadow Integrative Medicine is a little bit different. In addition to providing routine gynecologic care, Dr. DeSalvo is also a practitioner of Integrative Medicine, which uses both conventional and other evidence based methods of care (food as medicine, stress reduction, botanicals and nutritional education) to prevent illness and promote healing. Some key points:
- Smaller patient panels: This ensures that patients have convenient and easy access to the practice.
- Longer appointment times: Dr. DeSalvo takes the time necessary to address the full range of physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual and environmental influences that affect a person’s
health. New patient visits are 60 minutes long and established patient visits are 30 minutes long. - Rain Shadow does not file insurance: Documentation will be provided to patients to file for reimbursement from their insurance plan.
- Membership option: For a low annual fee, additional benefits are offered including a free annual 90-Minute Fitness Evaluation and Customized Nutrition Plan with monthly goals, multiple discounted office visits and discounted annual well-woman exams, unlimited weight checks, same day/next day office visits and access to care via telephone and secure email via EHR portal, free cooking classes and opportunities for weekly walking sessions.
