As my practice has matured, I have shifted my focus to wellness, an approach to healthcare that emphasizes preventing illness and prolonging life, as opposed to treating disease. Simply put, wellness means being healthy in body and mind as the result of deliberate effort. For too long our profession has spent too much time treating illnesses rather than focusing on the cause of illness ... but times have changed and my practice is focused on keeping my patients healthy and happy. -- Paul Thaxton, MD
Dr. Paul Thaxton takes great pride in his 40-year tradition of providing and advancing healthcare for men and women in the Central Savannah River area of Georgia and South Carolina. After delivering more than 10,000 babies in more than 30 years as a OBGYN, he stopped delivering babies and focused his practice on wellness.
We have a different approach - Patient Focused Care. Every patient is unique, we never employ a generalized approach to patient healthcare. All Advanced Welness patients receive customized wellness care, tailored to their individual needs. Integrative medicine combines conventional treatment with long-term alternative therapies to build a truly holistic medical program.
From our sophisticated InBody 520 Body Composition Analyzer for our weight loss patients to our state-of-the-art Zerona Laser Liposuction equipment, our staff uses the latest technology along with individualized personal care to provide the best possible outcome for all of our patients.
"I was searching for a non-invasive procedure that would help me lose weight and sculpt some problem areas like my thighs and stomach. I wanted something that required no recovery or downtime. My friend went (to the doctor) and ended up with phenomenal results that have lasted for six months. Since we have similar figures, I immediately sought out the doctor for a consultation."
"After 4 weeks on this bio-identical hormone replacement therapy I was literally a new person. I was happy again, I was able to sleep like a normal person, I resumed my workout routine, which I had given up three months ago, my hair has improved its texture and looked healthier, I could control my cravings and I even started losing weight. In a word, it was amazing. I have become the person I always wanted to be."
"I have struggled with weight my entire adult life and have lost more weight than I can count. I have started a program with Dr. Thaxton and for the first time I am not hearing that it is my fault. Dr. Thaxton has researched obesity for years and his research has proven that there are many factors at play. During my visits at his office I am always encouraged and always praised, never made to feel like I have failed."
