Dr. Marion Mass | Healing Healthcare | Nov 21st 2018 | MD for Moms Radio

Photo attribution: Every Wednesday 1pm (ET) on The BBM Global Network, TuneIn and iHeartRadio or as a podcast on iTunes. This week on MD for Moms, I'll be interviewing Dr. Marion Mass, co-founder of Practicing Physicians of America, an advocacy group focusing on supporting physicians so they can treat patients as they were trained to. We will discuss why Dr. Mass started PPA and what she believes is broken about our healthcare system and most importantly, what can be done to fix it. No one is really happy with our current healthcare system - patients are often annoyed by long wait times and short visits for in-network providers or hefty price-tags for out of network clinicians; physicians feel squeezed to focus on Press-Ganey ratings over providing good clinical care. In short, no body wins. Everyone is keenly aware of rising prescription drug prices and incredibly high insurance premiums - sometimes it feels as if we are being priced out of affordable healthcare in America. Yet, physicians are not the beneficiaries of these high price tags and instead, doctors are being pushed more than ever to see more patients in less time for less money. No one wins and something has to change. Dr. Marion Mass has been working tirelessly to spread awareness about the flaws in our healthcare system and ways to fix it. She is going to explain how we as healthcare consumers and as participants in the medical system can advocate for lasting beneficial change and much more.

about our healthcare system and physician advocacy?

For nearly the last 10 years, Dr. Moon has practiced outpatient spine and pain management with an extensive background and experience in treating chronic low back pain and joint pain with traditional steroid injection therapy and medication management. During her time treating chronic pain, her interest in regenerative medicine grew. She knew she wanted to focus more on fixing and healing chronic pain issues. Dr. Moon's treatment focused more on finding safer, more natural, and alternative options to address not only chronic pain but also men and women’s sexual health struggles, as well as cosmetic issues like fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. Hence, NuMoon Regenerative Medicine was born. Through regenerative medicine and focusing on a more natural approach, Dr. Moon utilizes the body’s means of natural healing through the use of prolotherapy, PRP and stem cell treatments along with exercise and physical therapy. She is an associate member of the American Academy of Regenerative Medicine and has undergone prolotherapy training via the Hackett-Hemwall-Patterson Foundation. Dr. Moon is available to educate patients on alternative options for chronic low back pain or joint pain as well as coach and offer treatment options for those wishing to avoid or reduce chronic narcotic pain medication use. She also offers educational sessions, motivational coaching, and recommendations on leading a healthier lifestyle. She enjoys educating those interested in learning more about safer, healthier options to restore function back to painful joints, tendons, and overall our aging bodies via the treatments of regenerative medicine. In her free time, Dr. Moon enjoys spending time with her husband and young daughter, traveling near and far, exercise, and photography.">Newest approaches to looking and feeling our best Wed. 1-2pm ET: 866-451-1451 call us live! w/host Dr. Carly Snyder.
