Our Approach to Health

Personalized Medicine

We firmly believe that a one-size-fits-all approach does not work when it comes to health. Each individual has distinct nutritional needs and health imbalances. Shirley takes the time to understand your specific situation, tailoring her strategies to meet your unique requirements. From the moment you connect with us, we focus on delivering care that resonates with your individual health journey.

Preventive Care and Holistic Wellness

Preventive care is at the heart of our philosophy. By identifying potential health imbalances before they manifest into larger issues, we empower you to take control of your health proactively. Holistic wellness encompasses not just the absence of disease but a balanced state of physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Through our services, you can expect an integrated approach to your well-being.

Virtual Care for Your Convenience

Accessible Telemedicine

We recognize the importance of convenience in today’s fast-paced world. That’s why we offer virtual visits, allowing you to connect with Shirley from the comfort of your home or while traveling. Our HIPAA-compliant telemedicine services ensure that your personal information remains secure while you receive attentive, person-centered care. Simply schedule an appointment at a time that suits you, and as long as you have a cell phone or Wi-Fi connection, we are ready to assist you.

Comprehensive Membership Model

Our membership model provides you with full access to our diverse range of services. For a monthly fee, you can reach out to us via text, calls, patient portal messaging, and virtual meetings whenever you need support. This model ensures that you have ongoing guidance and assistance in your health journey, making it easier for you to stay on track with your wellness goals.

Specialized Services

In addition to our virtual services, we offer bioidentical hormone pelleting in Montrose, Colorado, and Placitas, New Mexico. This safe and effective treatment option helps manage hormonal imbalances, contributing to overall wellness.

Root-Cause Analysis

At Ridgway Center for Whole Health, we employ a functional medicine care philosophy. Our journey together begins with a comprehensive root-cause assessment and essential lab tests. This thorough analysis helps us pinpoint the underlying factors contributing to your health concerns, allowing us to devise effective, personalized treatment strategies.
