Good Morning Washington Visits the Kaplan Center! Part 2

Good Morning Washington‘s Roxanne Strouk, returned to the Kaplan Center to speak to Dr. Gary on the challenges many patients face when they are affected with chronic conditions.

Significant overlaps in symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and pain—across multiple illnesses, like ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and autoimmune diseases, can lead to misdiagnosis or a delayed diagnosis leaving patients without clear answers or effective treatment plans. In addition, a shortage of healthcare providers who specialize in complex, chronic illnesses, can result in fragmented care and limited access to knowledgeable clinicians. As a result, many patients endure prolonged suffering and diminished quality of life without a clear path to recovery.

Dr. Kaplan explains how the Kaplan Center’s integrative and functional approach 1—allows for a more comprehensive understanding of each patient’s health, and 2—focuses on identifying and treating the root cause of illness, both of which often leads to more sustainable recovery.
