As a family physician, Dr. JaVar Myatt-Jones employs a comprehensive approach to patient care, examining, diagnosing and treating the patient as a whole while providing the expert counsel and advice so crucial to health and wellness. Part of Dr. Jones’ approach are elements of integrative medicine, a philosophy that takes a broader, more holistic look at the causes, prevention of disease and the promotion of good health and wellness.

So, what are the advantages of integrative medicine to the patient?

--It addresses the root causes of the illness, rather than just the symptoms. With integrative medicine, the physician examines all factors or elements which may have played a role in the development of the illness, providing the patient the opportunity to eliminate the cause at the source.

--It requires a partnership between physician and patient. In the field of integrative medicine, the patient is a more active participant in their own health, working with the doctor to develop solutions that benefit their health in the long-term.

“During my second year of course work I discovered the true meaning of what a doctor is. I learned from an excellent physician that a doctor is a teacher, an adviser and a scholar,” wrote Dr. JaVar Myatt-Jones. “In my third year of medical school, I realized internal medicine is a field that expands my investigative drive for more answers. . . Following my third year of medical school, I decided to take a leave of absence pursuing a patient oriented, clinical research fellowship. . .  When I decided to accept the fellowship award from the Doris Duke Foundation, I was convinced that participating in a year of intense clinical research would be most beneficial. This opportunity not only addressed my many questions of interest, but also addressed exactly what type of physician I ultimately wanted to be.”
