Integrative Medicine Arrives in Maplewood at Renew Holistic Health

Just steps from the Maplewood train station, nestled in the tree line, sits the bright, sunny, newly renovated office at 175 Maplewood Ave., Suite 2, of Allison Fox, M.D. Having practiced primary care with a holistic approach in New York City for several years, she recently realized her dream of opening her own integrative consulting practice in Maplewood. Says Dr. Fox, “It means so much to be able to provide this care to my community.”

Dr. Fox is passionate about helping people resolve their symptoms and feel joyful again.  What sets her apart from other holistic and integrative practitioners in the area is that as a Brown University trained physician, she is first and foremost a scientist who understands disease progression and the critical importance of some select medications.  That being said, her preference is to avoid medication when at all possible. Her balanced approach helps patients find a path through their illness that is devoid of unnecessary, unfounded, and expensive modalities.  She does not sell anything or have any financial interest in any product or vendor that she recommends.  For that reason, patients can be assured that her advice emanates from her heart and her head, never her wallet. 

She is currently seeing patients of all ages with all medical backgrounds and symptoms. She hopes to help bridge the divide between the allopathic and holistic communities by offering sound medical advice, compassionate care, and a particular focus on living a clean, symptom-free life. As she says, “This is the new medicine, and I am excited and grateful to be a part of it.”

For more information or an appointment, contact Dr. Fox at 973-763-0200, visit Renewdirection.com or email [email protected].

5 Top Tips to Finding Your Next Doctor

1 Keep an Open Mind! Healthcare has come a long way. Today, you have access to practitioners that branch outside of traditional medicine and aim to identify the root causes of conditions while using alternative treatments that may help you get the relief you need. Just because it’s not a pill, doesn’t make it pseudoscience.

2 Build Your Health Care Team. There is no one doctor that can be the be-all-end-all for your health needs. Be sure to have a team of practitioners with different “lenses” and areas of expertise who will treat the root cause and not just the symptom(s).

3   Environment Influences Healing. Health is multi-factorial. Your mental and emotional environment plays a pivotal role in your healing potential. Your doctors and their staff should create an office atmosphere filled with positivity so you can get the most out of your care.

4 Your Story Matters.  Before you begin any treatment, be sure to have a comprehensive consultation to discuss your health concerns. Find practitioners who welcome questions and will take the time to listen and treat you with respect.

5 Report of Findings. When it comes to our health, we often make decisions without understanding the risk versus benefits. Knowledge is an important part of the healing process and is essential to make conscious, informed health decisions. Find practitioners who take the time to explain their exam findings and the recommendations for treatment in ways that make sense to you.
