Why the Standard Health Model Fails Brain Injury Patients
"Some patients have no chance of healing or recovering in the standard health model. The art of actually examining a patient and caring about what is actually going on is dissolving.The Importance of Being Your Own Health Advocate
People are constantly having to be their own health advocates. At the same time any time they bring something they researched or volunteer their curiosity to their doctor they are stigmatized for it.What a Doctor Should Understand About Brain Injuries
The Body Works as a Whole System
A doctor should understand how the body and mind work as a whole. Our body does not work in pieces. All of those organs, tissues, cells work together like a symphony to manifest optimal health. If your doctor only wants to focus on their special area they understand and not collaborate with or understand how all the systems communicate with each other then they are failing.Signs Your Doctor Has Failed You
If your doctor does not take a full history they have failed you. If they do not do a full exam they have failed you. If their ego is too big to admit they do not know what is going on with you they have absolutely and utterly failed you.Our Approach to Traumatic Brain Injury Treatment
Everyone should have access to physicians that do a full history, exam, and custom treatment plan specific to that individual's unique set of health circumstances." At SDCN, we work with traumatic brain injury and concussion, dizziness, and headaches and migraines using a comprehensive neurological, metabolic, and structural approach.How Dr. Kamran Jahangiri Found This Work
A Personal Journey with Neurological Issues
"I am lucky to have fallen into this profession by chance. I went through a lot growing up with my own neurological issues. I was put on a multitude of different strong medications, through psychological therapies, and conventional testing which never gave me answers or helped me gain anymore functionality in my life.Finding a Better Approach to Brain Health
I think as a result I unconsciously sought out a way to evaluate and treat patients that was a better alternative or that augmented the standard model of healthcare. Once I started diving into that rabbit hole there was no going back. I would not have it any other way either. I have been able to help influence almost every family member, friend, and thousands of patients that went through some level of a similar experience to what I did growing up in the conventional practice of medicine.What Separates Our Approach to Concussion, Vertigo, and Migraine Care
A Comprehensive Evaluation Process
What separates us is that we honestly do our best to look at everything we know how to look at. I'm also not shy to admit that we don't know how to measure everything though. Which is why we prefer to be a part of the team of physicians that optimizes a patient's health. When you have a team that all communicates together the chances of your doctors making an error or missing something goes way down.Our Commitment to Patient Care
I love what I do and will keep trying to help people as long as I can." – Dr. Kamran Jahangiri. Learn more about our team of specialists or watch our full "ABOUT SDCN" video on our functional neurology page. Schedule a consultation today.Not sure what is driving your symptoms?
