Growth Addict ,

This is the future of effective medicine!

It was such a pleasure to listen to Dr. Faisel’s podcast and listen to a vision of healthcare where the patient and prevention of illnesses are at the forefront!

As Dr. Faisel reminds us, Benjamin Franklin stated, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Add in the vision of patient-care care, and you have a match made in heaven!

Thank you!

I look forward to learning more!
