Many of you know that my wife Renee and I have been married over 50 years. We have often shared practitioners, including primary care doctors. A decade ago, our prior mutual primary care physician described her as “medically boring.” A few years after, our longtime friend and astrologer was raving about the doctor that had recently changed her life by prescribing bioidentical hormones. We switched Renee to Blue Cross so she could see Dr. Colin Chan as her primary care physician. He did not disappoint her. He discovered a serious heavy metal condition she had lived with most of her life, which he treated effectively with his in-house chelation facility.
We switched her again to United Healthcare, the only Medicare advantage plan that reimburses for chelation treatments, and I am happy to say that testing shows a more than 90% decrease in heavy metals in her body. We have since referred a few friends to his practice with great results.
Now, we would like to introduce you to the #1 of 338 of family doctors in St. Petersburg, according to RateMDs. Colin Chan and Associates’ mission is to provide cutting-edge anti-aging techniques to help you live longer and treat disease processes that conventional medicine can’t. With over 20+ years of experience and having attended over 100+ conferences both nationally and internationally, Dr. Chan is a top-rated holistic medical expert who focuses on finding the root cause of illnesses.
He also surrounds himself with a strong support team, with Karen Johnson APRN, for example, regularly seeing Dr. Chan’s primary care patients after their initial diagnostic visits. Dr. Jason Phillippe and his APRN, Therese Grandlienard run Colin Chan and Associates’ West Coast Primary Care, at 603 Seventh St. S. #520, in downtown St. Pete. Longtime readers may remember Dr. Phillippe from a time when he wrote the health and wellness column for Paradise News a few years ago.
Dr. Chan’s west Florida office offers a number of cutting-edge therapies, provided especially for members of his hybrid concierge medical practice. While most concierge practices are very pricy and don’t bill insurances, Chan’s hybrid concierge system takes full advantage of services that insurance companies are willing to pay for, keeping patient costs way more affordable.
With a mission to find the root cause of each disease, he actively searches for early detection of heart disease, cancers, dementia and toxic metals. He also addresses undesirable changes in aging, loss of energy, weight gain, joint pain and cardiovascular problems. These risks can be identified and addressed years before they cause serious problems. He is an expert in the use of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy and has helped many patients over the past decade achieve optimal and safe hormone balance.
Other in-house therapies include but are not limited to:
- Chelation Therapy
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
- Integrative Medicine
- IV Nutrition Therapy
- LED Light Therapy
Dr. Chan’s west Florida office is located in the center of Tampa Bay, just north of Home Shopping Channel’s old headquarters at 12450 Roosevelt Blvd. N., Suite 101, St. Petersburg, FL 33716. They are open six days a week, weekdays 8am-5pm (phones 9am-4pm) and Saturday until 2pm.
