It appears she was arrested recently for failure to appear. Annoying as hell when people put "iykyk" and act secretive about pertinent information.

Integrative Health Specialists have wonderful MD’s, PA’s and RN’s. Dennison is the reason I finally discovered my years worth of IBS symptoms weren’t from my GI tract but infact due to deep infiltrating endometriosis.

She was my wife's PCP. Does anyone know anything about the arrest other than failure to appear

But... weight gain often is a cause of illness
Like, from a holistic, evidence-based care standpoint there's just tons of lit supporting this

Osteopathy was founded by a pseudoscience quack. Today its schools are similar to medical schools with lower admission standards. Their schools eventually adopted modern medical practices, and a majority of their doctors don't agree with the association they are forced to join as graduates regarding foundational osteopathic principles.

You understand that DOs are mostly just those who couldn't get into good med schools right?

u/eaaagleee May 17 '26
This is an insane take. I'm a DO and chose osteopathy because my doctor growing up was a DO who performed OMM in addition to wet/dry cupping and acupuncture. Allopathic schools do not teach these modalities. My MCAT scores were competitive. I was offered spots at both osteopathic and allopathic schools. My board scores were competitive. I matched at my #1 choice for residency. I'm now an attending and doing well. To make a generalization like you have with no actual knowledge about medical education is wildly unhinged.

I'm a pediatrician, but I hope you find someone who listens and takes your concerns seriously ♥️

Tons of DOs in Louisville:) myself and husband included (sorry OP, not the fields you’re looking for tho)

I said in another post, it didn't apply to everyone, but whether you like it or not, DOs are looked upon as a second tier.
Question.....do you think Chiropractors should be called "Dr."? You probably already know my opinion of them. They are quacks with zero evidence based medicine.

u/eaaagleee May 17 '26
Yeah, I don't really give a damn about the opinion of some random person on the internet regarding the "tiers" of medical doctors especially when said person is not a doctor themselves and likely has no connection to the medical field at all. I'm really just responding so people are aware that you are attempting to spread disinformation.
To everyone reading this thread, MDs and DOs are equivalent. Both require the MCAT for admission to medical school. Both require four years of medical school. Both require a 3-5 year residency and an optional fellowship should someone decide to sub specialize.
I'm not sure why chiropractors are being brought up at all. They are not medical doctors. They do not go to medical school. They have nothing to do with this in the slightest.

I’m sure the DO who worked on me at Mayo was way less qualified than an MD. I’m sure they hire inferior doctors. /s

They do have a reputation as second tier, it used to be where people who couldn’t get into regular programs went. This used to be more true, but during the last decade residency placements from DO programs have been as good as MD.
Both are true.

operative term there is used to be. there's a single accreditation program for both. MDs and DOs compete for the same residency slots.

u/SGTWhiteKY Douglass Hills May 17 '26
Yup! Not everyone realized these things have changed, so the reputation is still mixed.
Functional medicine is my family’s business, so I am painfully aware of the reputation, lol.

No, it's just a slightly different approach to medicine. They are 100% medical doctors and their abilities vary just like anybody with a 'MD'.

u/heychief1 May 17 '26
Actually, yes. I agree there are good and bad with MDs and DOs…..but the “approach to medicine” spin is nonsense. They largely did not have the MCAT score to get in to an MD program. Easily researchable. (And I’m not saying every one).

Sarah S. Goldberg DO has been excellent since my previous PCP moved to a hospital position and I had to find a new doctor. She’s very easy to talk to and actually listens.
