Today we’d like to introduce you to Dina Pavilonis.
Dina, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I am a physician, board certified in family medicine and bariatric medicine. I used to work in a busy primary care in Oak Park but decided to go solo and primarily focus on functional/integrative medicine and medical weight loss to improve quality of care for my patients. In the busy primary care setting I felt like I could not spend enough quality time with my patients to help them feel and look their best.
Acute care approaches to the management of health situations fall short addressing individual health conditions. Thus, a functional approach to the delivery of care is bound to offer a comprehensive mechanism to address chronic diseases to the society. At our clinic health is a holistic concept. Green Circle Wellness Clinic integrates a variety of concepts including individualized diet, lifestyle and even stress factors that may have adverse effects on the health of a patient.
Has it been a smooth road?
So far it has been great! Our patients are extremely satisfied with their achieved health goals. The only obstacle was getting the word out and letting people know that there are ways to true health and disease prevention versus just treating symptoms.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with green circle wellness limited – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
We integrate a variety of concepts including individualized nutrition, lifestyle and stress factors that may have adverse effects on the health of a patient. Usually we start with performing in depth physical and laboratory examination to assess underlying deficiencies (such as vitamins, amino acids, anti-oxidants, digestive enzymes, good microbiome, etc.), hormonal imbalances, food sensitivities (i.e. which food types may cause inflammation in an individual), genetic predispositions to certain diseases, gut health, etc. During the follow up visit our patients meet with Dr.Pavilonis to discuss treatment/prevention plan and nutritionist Faith to get their individualized nutritional plan based on their results and conditions. We believe that there is no one diet and lifestyle that fits all because we are all so different.
Since Dr. Pavilonis is also board certified in Bariatric Medicine we have effective and safe weight loss programs that help patients to reset their metabolism and treat associated conditions (diabetes, high cholesterol, blood pressure, etc.)
When people start to feel better, they want to look better. So we got skin tightening, lifting and fat burning laser (especially for stubborn areas), botanical facial peels and individualized herbal skin care plans.
We also provide IV and intra-muscular injection therapy with vitamins, amino-acids, minerals and anti-oxidants to deliver those nutrients straight to the cells bypassing often troubled GI and liver pathways. Different formulations help our patients to battle cold and flu, jet lag, hangover symptoms, fatigue, insomnia and help boost skin elasticity and collagen production from within. We also have IV formulas for athletes to prepare for or recover from intense work out/marathon or triathlon.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
We love Chicago for having such diverse, open-minded, educated and more health conscious people (compared to other US cities).
Dislikes are cold winter, high taxes and crime rate.
