Dr. Grattan Crowe Woodson MD

Grattan Woodson, M.D. is a board certified Internist practicing Integral Medicine in Brookhaven. Our office is small and staffed by team of dedicated and highly experienced group of professionals whose mission is focused on seeing that our patients get the very best healthcare we can provide them. Many of our primary care patients are healthy people who live nearby. We have fun helping our patients stay healthy. By paying attention to detail now we don’t let little things get out of control that become big things later on. Take weight gain for instance. We take that problem very seriously. Dr. Woodson and our staff are very skilled in the use of a variety of techniques to quell that problem. High blood pressure and cholesterol in adults often respond to fitness training and adoption of a best nutrition practices and rarely require medications. We all know about tobacco and we can help those who want to quit. We use natural methods, diet, exercise, coaching, drugs, and the kitchen sink if that would be of use to help our patients get and stay healthy. We are not proud or prudes. We do have cool ways of monitoring your progress. Of course we have the usual nifty blood tests but we also have body composition analysis by DXA and carotid artery imaging IMT by ultrasound. With body composition we can directly measure your body fat percent, lean body mass and see and quantify where they are in grams. You can see your body image change as your weight changes. With IMT if you have cholesterol plaque in the wall of your artery we can see it before you have a heart attack or stroke in plenty of time to take action. There is not hocus pocus using risk factor analysis because with IMT you are actually able to image to disease process directly. We are really interested in seeing our patients become optimally healthy and well today. That is the goal of Integral Medicine. Doing so is the best way to prevent disease in the future. That is our promise to you and we keep our promises.
