This Summer I saw an internet ad for Advanced Integrated Medical that caught my attention because it seemed as if they could treat the health issues I was having. I had a sport-related knee injury that was causing a lot of pain, which also lead to back problems and weight-gain issues. Worst of all, these issues were prohibiting me from golfing, hiking, and lifting weights. During my first visit, I realized these guys are not normal, meaning they are not what I was used to. Dr. Dee Stevens conducted the most thorough exam I had ever received. He then brought in Dr. Karl Brown and together they looked at the X-Rays, measurements, and range of motion tests. Dr. Brown then spent a significant amount of time asking multiple questions about any health-related issues I was facing. He wanted to know every detail. He even asked what supplements I was taking and looked up the ingredients on each one. Who does that? It turns out that one of them was interacting with another supplement which was causing me issues. He also gave me some help with how to lose the weight I had gained. These doctors were so attentive to detail and spent so much time on me that I thought, how do they make any money? In all of my other experiences with chiropractors and doctors, I felt like I was in a cattle chute and was being rushed through as quickly as possible. My visits to A.I.M. have been the exact opposite of what I had experienced with other doctors. Well, instead of having knee surgery, Dr. Stevens and Dr. Brown concluded that I would be a good candidate for Platelet-rich plasma (PRP). They explained how Dr. Brown would withdraw some of my blood, then spin it in a centrifuge, which would separate my blood's platelets. A concentration of millions of my own platelets would then be injected into my knee which would accelerate the healing of my injured knee. I told them I wanted to go home and do some research on it and that I would get back to them. In my research, I found that Tiger Woods and Kobe Bryant, and many other athletes have utilized P.R.P in their recoveries. I came to the conclusion that before exploring knee surgery, that I would try P.R.P. first. After the procedure, which was really not very painful, Dr. Brown suggested that I just take it easy for the next few days. Over those days, I received multiple texts from Dr. Brown checking up on me. Within a week's time, I really started to see a major improvement in my knee. After three weeks and 22 pounds lighter, I went back into A.I.M. where Dr. Stevens reexamined my knee and was amazed at how well it was healing. However, I was still having some back pain. He spent a lot of time taking X-Rays and examining my issue. He also adjusted my spine and showed me ways to strengthen that area of my back. I was really impressed when he got on the table and demonstrated a stretch that I had never seen before. It turns out that the stretch he taught me has literally changed the health of my back. I'm 51 years old and I like being active and with the help of A.I.M. I have learned that I can continue doing the things that I really enjoy. Two months later, after my initial care at A.I.M., I am 32 pounds lighter, and my knee and back, are not only without pain, but they are actually much stronger. I am now back to playing golf, tennis, basketball, hiking, and lifting weights. During these 2 months, Dr. Brown has texted me 11 times to check on me. My daughter recently had a health issue that I texted Dr. Brown to get his advice. He immediately called me and explained that the symptoms she was having were serious and he told us to go to the emergency room asap. It turns out he was right and we are grateful that he helped us realize the severity of her situation. He then referred us to a doctor that he trusts, who would be able to help with her situation. I normally don't give recommendations, but Dr. Stevens and Dr. Brown are not normal. --Jaren Taylor read more

Six months after co.pleting the "treatment", my feet were back to their normal, painful state. This treatment was an enormous waste of money. It worked great while receiving treatment, which was prohibitively expensive. It is not a permanent solution. read more
