About

Kevin Norowitz, MD

Medicine is perceived as black and white for the most part. A person does or does not have a broken bone, does or does not have the flu, or is or is not pregnant. However, there are many grays. For example, a person may not have 20/20 vision or may have a small cavity, which we classify as sub-clinical. Treatment may be deferred at this point in time, as the patient is functioning without impairment. Deferring treatment on these conditions may not have a negative effect on the ultimate outcome. Behavioral and mental health, and learning disabilities are unfortunately mostly gray, but even if they are functioning, there is a level of impairment. In addition, deferring treatment may have significant negative effect on outcome. A patient may have the beginnings, or sub-clinical findings, of an anxiety disorder, depression, or social conduct disorder. But the primary care physician does not have the tools to adequately treat this in its early stages, nor do they have an established course of treatment. What the physician is left to do is wait until the patient’s life has begun to fall apart, when they can’t function in school or in society, maintain a relationship, or keep a job. At that point, a patient may have begun treatment, but this is already too late in the process.



Our mission at Integrated Medical Health is to focus on those patients with sub-clinical behavioral and mental health conditions, and learning disabilities, including, but not limited to, ADHD and Eating Disorders; to begin a multifaceted treatment before their lives deteriorate. With an interdisciplinary approach we will customize a single treatment plan, in one location, to treat these conditions before they become debilitating. To find individualized treatment options the deal with the root of the issues rather than simply masking symptoms with medication. Our goal is treatment for many of these issues which have been, until now, ignored.
