Center For Advanced Medicine located in the Greater St. Louis metropolitan area of Illinois is a multi-disciplinary practice specializing in Pain Management, Osteopathic Manipulation, Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy for Women, and Low Testosterone Therapy for Men. This compassionate medical office provides traditional methods of medicine, as well as alternative treatment options including medical marijuana evaluations for Illinois residents. At Center For Advanced Medicine, patients seeking a less invasive and low risk treatment are able to discuss the use of medical marijuana with Dr. Michael Ambrose M.D., Board Certified in Internal Medicine. He is one of the very few physicians in his area certifying qualified patients for the Illinois Medical Cannabis Program. Although this pilot program started over 2 years ago and the medicine is now readily available in 29 dispensaries statewide, finding a certifying physician is still a challenging task for prospective patients, especially those residing in rural areas. With only about 1% of physicians participating in the Medical Cannabis Program, thousands of patients unwilling to wait for a local doctor to pop up are traveling hundreds of miles to Chicago and its surrounding areas, where there are a fair amount of cannabis friendly physicians easy to locate.

Patients can easily search for physicians providing medical marijuana evaluations and certifications at their existing practice and request appointments using the MarijuanaDoctors.com online booking platform. Dr. Ambrose is the 2nd physician out of St. Clair County, Illinois to join MarijuanaDoctors.com, a nationwide network of certifying practitioners serving the 23 legal medical marijuana states and D.C. Center For Advanced Medicine and its outstanding team are excited to be at the forefront of medical cannabis treatment and meet the demand from prospective patients seeking to legally use medical marijuana for their condition.

Cannabis Sativa, also know as marijuana, has been valued for 5,000 years as one of the most therapeutic herbs on the planet. Seventy years of marijuana prohibition has generated a plethora of biased opinions, misinformation, and public policy that does not take into account the science behind medical cannabis. Medical marijuana is making a return to the front lines of medicine, and its superior versatility, safety, and efficacy compared to conventional medicine is undeniably evident . Dr. Ambrose is an integrative physician and prefers to choose treatments that are "safe, natural, and minimally invasive whenever possible. Cannabis is a natural choice because of its impressive safety profile."

Maximizing the benefits and minimizing the harm of medical marijuana requires an individualized approach with education on dosage, strain, delivery systems, and the more subtle aspects of one's relationship with this medicinal plant. Center For Advanced Medicine warmly invites patients to explore a medical marijuana consultation as part of a holistic approach to health.

The knowledgeable and compassionate staff at Center For Advanced Medicine will thoroughly guide any approved patients with obtaining a legal medical marijuana card. The doctor will go over the benefits, side effects, drug interactions, strain suggestion, and possible contraindications. Dr. Ambrose and his team of medical professionals create a comprehensive treatment plan for each of their patients with the intention of avoiding surgical measures if at all possible, and believe that medical marijuana is a complementary and effective alternative healthcare option for patients suffering from chronic and debilitating medical conditions.
