What Vive! Means
“Vive” in different languages means “to live” and it means living fully.
To live fully means having optimal health, which is hard to achieve if no one is looking at the hormones that makes you male or female!
Vive! Life Center focuses on the unique foundation of MALE and FEMALE biology and uses a gender-based diagnostic and prescriptive model to provide integrated, individualized medical treatment, life style and wellness strategies to reduce disease risks, manage chronic conditions, and enhance quality of life.
Dr. Vliet’s treatment model, unlike most insurance based protocol driven models, emphasizes the unique aspects of the individual person and tailors recommendations to his/her specific needs.
How We Are Different
There are several key differences between Dr. Vliet’s medical practice, Vive! Life Center, and most other “hormone” doctors:
- First, is the detailed medical evaluationThat includes in-depth history, physical exam, metabolic blood tests, hormone blood tests, and other specialized lab studies to get to the underlying causes of symptoms so that a definitive, individualized treatment plan can be developed. With a background in Preventive and Internal Medicine, Psychopharmacology/Psychiatry, Pain Management, Stress management, and Wellness approaches, Dr. Vliet brings a depth of medical training and clinical experience to the evaluation to patients with complex hormone problems not typically found in other medical practices. She has also been a patient… and understands firsthand how frightening it can be when something is wrong with your body and you keep getting told “Everything’s normal”.
- Second, the amount of time that Dr. Vliet spends with each personEach new patient consultation takes place over two hours, plus additional time reviewing past and current medical records in order to develop an individualized treatment plan tailored to each person.
- Third, is the medical privacy that is possible with Dr. Vliet’s practiceBecause we do not file electronic insurance claims, your medical records are never sent to anyone but YOU (unless there is a court order in a criminal case). Then you decide what personal information you want released to any third parties, such as insurance plans, other doctors, etc. To improve the patient privacy, our medical records for you or your medical records in our office are stored locally, not on a central database.
