In the fall of 2011, Dr. Estep joined a group of prestigious physicians and dentists to become certified in the Bale/Doneen method: a method that takes into consideration paradigm shifts in cardiovascular prevention. Using this method, Dr. Estep can draw an accurate customzed picture of a person’s risk for cardiocascular disease and heat attack/stroke. Once this picture is drawn, Dr. Estep can aid in reducing and removing these risks. There is recent evidence to support the belief that doctors and dentists who join together to practice the Bale/Doneen can eliminate the risk of heart attack/stroke in their patients.
