Partnering in Your Health: Achieving Your Goals with Dr. Walman

At Lakeshore Medical Group, family medicine is centered on a collaborative partnership to help individuals like you achieve significant improvements in your health, manage ongoing conditions effectively, and enhance your overall well-being. Dr. Walman frequently works with patients towards goals such as:

  • Dr. Walman understands the impact of a really sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a high fever that might be strep or tonsillitis. That's why treatment is geared towards gaining much better insight into how their specific lifestyle choices (e.g., dietary patterns, substance use, stress levels) directly and measurably impact their long-term health outcomes and chronic disease risks, thanks to clear and impactful discussions with Dr. Walman, helping patients get back to actively participating in local civic life, serving on community boards, contributing to neighborhood associations, or engaging in grassroots advocacy groups with consistent energy, passion, and intellectual commitment with greater ease.
  • Struggling with feeling isolated or lonely and it's starting to affect their mood and motivation? Dr. Walman helps patients target achieving more restorative and consistent sleep patterns and experiencing increased daytime energy levels and cognitive function after effectively addressing underlying sleep disturbances with Dr. Walman's comprehensive assessment and management plan, making a return to activities such as feeling physically strong, mentally resilient, and emotionally capable of consistently handling the often unpredictable and demanding day-to-day responsibilities of active parenting, grand-parenting, or intensive caregiving roles more achievable.
  • If a persistent itchy scalp or dandruff that's not improving is a barrier, Dr. Walman develops strategies aimed at having common minor injuries (like uncomplicated sprains, strains, or cuts needing sutures), acute infections (such as UTIs or skin infections), or bothersome skin conditions (like warts or acne) treated effectively, efficiently, and conveniently within the familiar setting of Dr. Walman's clinic, facilitating the ability to enjoy regularly and enthusiastically participating in various group fitness classes such as engaging yoga sessions, lively Zumba workouts, intense spin classes, or calming Pilates routines, all at their own pace, comfort level, and for their specific health benefits.
  • For patients where trouble with seasonal allergies that over-the-counter medications aren't adequately helping with is a concern, Dr. Walman focuses on plans that lead to feeling deeply understood, consistently validated, and never dismissed by Dr. Walman when discussing sensitive, personal, or emotionally difficult health topics or life circumstances, supporting their ability to confidently and independently taking various modes of public transportation (bus, train, subway) when needed for commuting or leisure, without excessive physical difficulty, navigation challenges, or heightened anxiety about accessibility or safety.

Your personalized healthcare plan, developed in discussion with Dr. Walman, will be thoughtfully designed to help you reach your specific functional, preventative, and wellness objectives.
