The medical field has advanced greatly over the years, with offerings for vaccines, medications, and treatments improving constantly. The next step is customizing care to patients’ specific needs, but it's already here in the form of personalized medicine.
Dr. Inga Zilberstein offers personalized medicine, also called precision medicine, at her office in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York. She provides tailored treatments and care for women looking to improve their mental, physical, and sexual health.
Traditional medicine is the practice of preventing and treating disease in an entire population. The problem is that not everyone responds the same way to these generalized preventive care measures and treatments.
Personalized medicine tailors treatments to each patient's specific DNA, medical history, needs, and goals. It's customized care that involves getting to the root of the problem through targeted testing and determining what your body requires to overcome it.
Dr. Zilberstein considers your genetics, lifestyle, and environment to make medical decisions that best benefit your health and wellness. She utilizes precision testing tools like the DUTCH test, GI-MAP, and organic acid testing to learn more about how your body works.
Personalized medicine isn't one treatment that fits everyone; it's a unique way to improve the standard of your care, find the best treatment for your needs, and improve your quality of life through precision care.
Personalized medicine is changing the medical field for the better. It's improving patient outcomes by determining the right route of treatment for various diseases and providing preventive care that Dr. Zilberstein can tailor to your genetic needs. There are numerous advantages to precision care, and five of them include:
A significant benefit of personalized medicine is targeted therapy. By utilizing unique diagnostic tools and interpreting test results, Dr. Zilberstein can recommend specific therapies that your body responds to instead of traditional medicine's trial-and-error approach.
Genetic testing helps practitioners determine how your body will respond to specific treatment approaches to get it right the first time.
Customized care means better patient outcomes every time. Targeting your body's needs to find the best therapy or prevention tools reduces the chance of chronic disease, increases treatment accuracy, and improves healthcare outcomes versus traditional medicine.
Medicine is constantly evolving through clinical trials and developing treatments — but understanding each person's genetic makeup and putting that information toward research could change medicine forever.
Understanding more about personalized medicine, genes, and targeted therapy helps researchers constantly improve disease management, create new medications, and reduce side effects for everyone.
Traditional medicine's trial-and-error method comes at a price — to you and the insurance company. By utilizing specific tools and tests, we can reduce health care costs by eliminating the need for multiple medications, preventing chronic disease, and changing lifestyle habits that promote optimal wellness.
Precision medicine aims to get a clear picture of your health to customize care for your body's needs. The tests Dr. Zilberstein administers offer remarkable insights into how your body is working so she can provide an accurate diagnosis.
Diagnostic accuracy is essential in tailoring a treatment plan to your body's needs. The more precise the diagnosis, the more accurate the care plan and the better the outcome.
