Dr Rienstra
will lead this series of small question-and-answer group
visits to help you gain more control over your personal health
issues and to provide tools for making healthy lifestyle changes.
We believe
that the best medical care results from collaboration between
doctor and patient. There was a time when the doctor decided
on the medication and told you exactly when and how to take it.
Questions were not encouraged, and people had few other options.
Today you have access to many sources of health information, some
of them reliable but most of them tricky to interpret.
We will
encourage you to bring in health news from the media or the Internet
so we can use your material for case-by-case examples of how to
evaluate such information.
And we’ll
bring to light both the aids and the barriers to personal change.
Class members may share what has worked (or not) for them. In
addition to helping you make sense of the health-care system,
our goal is to enhance your ability to care for yourself.
The class
will not exceed fourteen people and will meet Wednesday evenings
at 7 pm. The course fee is $70 per class, $240 for
a series of four classes, with a fifteen percent discount for
those who register a week in advance. Depending on the number
attending, the class will last between an hour and two hours.
You do not have to be a patient of this clinic to attend.
While each class is designed to be valuable in itself, you’ll
benefit most from a succession of classes.

"I sure do thank you for your help.
I've told people about your approach -- more like Sherlock Holmes
than a doctor in a hurry...
... you, Dr. Rienstra,
appear to be a doctor on a mission. You have that "I'm going to
solve this" glint in your eye as if you really do want to discover
the solution to your patient's troubles.
I wanted to let you
know that ever since you advised me ... I've felt great.
Still grateful,"
