Every question on this page gets the same treatment: the answer first, in plain language, with the evidence named and the caveats attached - and any Gentle Health specifics after the answer, not instead of it. Every page is reviewed by James Simmons, MD, the one physician who treats every patient at this practice. Where the honest answer is “the data does not say yet,” that is what the page says. For location-specific availability, see the current states we serve.

Have a question that is not here? Ask it at your evaluation - the intake and the first conversation with Dr. Simmons cost nothing - or send it to us; the library grows in exactly one way, which is real people asking real questions.
