About Takoma Park Integrative Care
Our Core Values Of Care
An Integrative Approach
Guided by our care team, you will embark on an integrative approach to your wellness, drawing from the best of both Eastern and Western medicine – including smart lifestyle modifications that will significantly improve your health and symptoms.
Dedicated Attention
During your certifying consultation, you will meet with Dr. Frye who will chart the course of your journey to better health through nutritional and lifestyle changes in addition to cannabinoid medicine.
Your medication choices, dosing, and modes of delivery are all supervised by your physician.
Personalized Care
No patient is exactly the same, and each person responds to cannabis in a unique wat. Guided by our team, we will get to the root cause of your dis-ease – recommending cannabis strains, vitamin and mineral supplements, and other herbal remedies that are evidence-based.
We’ll explore your situation holistically, uncovering mediators in your home, at work, and your mental state to arrive at a “lifestyle prescription” that puts you back on the road to health.
Innovative Treatments
All our staff are life-long learners, continuously upgrading their wisdom through sharing best practices and seeking out innovative, out-of-the-box ideas to help our patients achieve their health goals.
Root Cause Resolution
Also known as integrative medicine, we seek to give you solutions, not more bandaids to cover up the symptoms (or treating side effects of drugs with even more drugs).
Co-Creating Health
We leverage group structures for patient education, peer-to-peer support, and accountability – with both your care team and your fellow patients rooting for your success.
The Philosophy That Drives Us
The philosophy that motivates everyone on our care teams at Takoma Park Integrative Care is pretty simple:
“Do whatever it takes to effectively, comfortably, and safely treat your patient. Whatever that ‘whatever’ is.”
Dr. Frye founded Takoma Park Integrative Care on the belief of participatory care where the patient is an instrumental partner in returning their body back to health (or keeping it healthy). And that it’s not about pre-determined ideas about a diagnosis without a full understanding of a patient’s situation.
Takoma Park Integrative Care evaluates and manages patients wishing to use medicinal cannabis and healthy lifestyle changes as part of their therapeutic regimen.
In addition to adult and geriatric evaluations, Dr. Frye evaluates patients under the age of 18 with serious conditions, if accompanied by a parent or guardian. Takoma Park Integrative Care strives to provide compassionate and individualized care for its patients in a private and discrete office setting. Telemedicine visits can be arranged for patients who are unable to travel to office visits.
Patients who are unfamiliar with the benefits of cannabis therapy will learn about its benefits, risks, and possible side effects and how to effectively use cannabis-based medicines to alleviate their symptoms – with or without the intoxicating effects of THC. The office is conveniently located just beyond the DC line in Historic Takoma Park, MD.
We will integrate findings from the most recent research along with literally decades of research that that has determined cannabis to be a safe and effective alternative therapy for many conditions. As it is stated in our Core Values of Care, you will always be first in line for innovative, integrative treatment methods that combine the best of Western and Eastern medicine.
