Dr.
Rebecca Clearman Philosophy
It
is my goal to provide for my patients the highest level of medical
expertise, in a warm and supportive atmosphere. I believe that for
my patients to achieve optimal health we must work together as a team
to identify causes of pain, illness and dysfunction, and then
successfully treat those causes. Medical practice requires that both
the physician and patient understand the etiology of the problem, and
develop a treatment plan that is achievable within the context of the
patient's busy life.
My
initial focus with each patient is to form a relationship, so that we
can work together to achieve the goals set by my patient. To make
this work we must have a good understanding of each other, and be
clear on what we are working to achieve. Health problems do not
occur in a vacuum; I do not believe that I can help anyone without at
least some understanding of the whole person. Confidentiality and
respect are imperatives in my practice, so that patients are speak
with me freely, safe in the knowledge that it does not leave the
room.
My
professional goal is to revolutionize the way medicine is practiced.
A year of working with a royal family was life-changing for me; I saw
that it is possible to deliver an exquisite level of medical care
that allows patients to be in control and fully informed. When the
patient feels in full partnership with the doctor, the medical
experience becomes much more comfortable for the patient. This
paradigm shift mandates that the doctor-patient relationship be
deeper, honest and more intense, and that the physician must work for
the patient, and only the patient. This concept is the cornerstone
of Personal Physician Group LLP.
I
am trained in ‘high tech’ American medicine and revel in new
medical developments. As faculty at Baylor College of Medicine, and
the University of Texas in the Texas Medical Center and Cornell Weill
College of Medicine I have both the opportunity and mandate to stay
on the leading edge of western medicine. However, I do not believe
that this type of medicine always has the answers to every problem.
I will always utilize the best of American medicine, but I continue
to use and study the best techniques of manual medicine and
alternative medicine. As a physiatrist I am accustomed to
functioning within a team of professionals of all disciplines to
optimize patient health. I continue to learn from my students, my
colleagues and most importantly, from my patients.
