This has always been a fundamental duty of healthcare practitioners. About half of all clinic visits include a solicitation for medical advice but unfortunately, the industrialization of healthcare has eroded the motivation for clinicians to render good quality advice on a routine basis.

Our model at Ridgewood MCP reverses this trend, we have structured our model to align our interest with that of the client – which is to remain in good health and stay out of the hospital.

At the level of the individual, medical advisement is the basis of preventive medicine. By giving specific advice tailored to the client, many of the major non-communicable diseases like hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, heart attack and stroke can be avoided or better managed to reduce complications, disability or premature death, as well as reducing overall healthcare costs.
