Grateful

 I'm so grateful to have Dr Sperbeck. I have had some health problems for the past 7 years and no one can find what was wrong. She has went above and beyond to help me. I found out 3 weeks ago I have Sjogrens Syndrome. Which makes a lot of sense after doing research on it.  I have done different blood work with in the past 7 years. Most of the time everything came back normal. She had me do a whole different lab panel that even I never heard of. (Side note I have been in the medical field for 16yrs.) It broke ANA test down in like 20 different categories. My ANA is borderline. Which that means negative in the lab world, But when its broken down you can seen what marker is high. That's how we found out. Yes it sucks knowing that I have something that won't just go away with medication. I'm so happy to have an answer. Most of the time for patients that's what we need, an answer. It was always so hurtful to hear your labs are normal when you know this is not normal. I don't know where I would be right now without Dr Sperbeck. 

I love DPC too because the other doctors would never do the blood work the way we can. They cant because they can only do what the insurance tell them to do. DPC the doctors do what they want to and it dont cost much more than any other labs.

Social Media/red light therapy

 I'm not young anymore let me just put that out there. We are trying to do more with social media (Twitter/instagram/facebook/snapchat). We hope this will bring in more patients. I'm a little lost trying know things with social media. I think we have been doing ok with it but we think we could do better.  We did a ribbon cutting but that didn't bring in patients like with thought it would of. We also do whatever we can with chamber of commerce. Still nothing. To break even we need about 200 more patients. To bring money in, so we can keep open we will need double that. I sent out emails today for businesses for them to sign up their employees. I hope at least 6 of them will contact us. We are hopeful that direct primary care will be a great thing for the area. You can't buy or support your family off hope. We wish we could but that a dream not life.  I would love it if people would learn more about us and then they would know how we could help. We are setting up red lig

  What is the difference between NIR and Red Light therapy? Near-infrared (NIR) light therapy is similar to red light therapy, except infrared  energy is invisible, and it reaches even deeper into the body- into soft tissues, muscles, joints, and bones.  Near-infrared units tend to promote topical healing and mild pain relief quite effectively, but far infrared heat are incredibly effective at removing toxins, improving circulation, and relaxing the muscles.  Near-infrared light therapy is a safe effective way to reduce pain and inflammation naturally.  Our full- body light therapy treatment, targets the entire body at once to promote maximum cellular production and transportation, supporting healing and optimal wellness throughout the body.

Self care

      I was talking to a patient on friday before I left work. She informed me her sister was going back to the hospital. Come to find out they sent her sister home with a colon collapse.  What is wrong with the hospitals? They never should of sent her home. She needs to have surgery. She is having surgery now, but they should of done that before they sent her home. Now she has an infection that is going to take time to clear up. This is the same thing I been hearing about from a lot of people the hospital don't have time to even look at patients. Why? Doctors go to school to help people not for the system to tell them otherwise. They refuse to do there job. It drives me crazy to not see the care that people need.      When covid happened care to patients went down hill. they shut down all medical offices. We had so many people die (not from covid) but because doctors were told to close offices. You couldn't even be seen for a runny nose you had to go to the hospital. Then when
