Whether you\u2019re dealing with cold symptoms, a rash, headaches or a stomach bug, you might spend hours scrolling online long before you call your doctor\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

Dr. Google can be helpful. But in some instances, online searches can cause unnecessary panic and lead to medical misinformation.<\/p>\n

Northfield family doctor helps decipher online research<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Dr. Ryan Meintz<\/a> is a family medicine doctor who cares for children and adults at the\u00a0 UCHealth Primary Care – Northfield<\/a> in Denver\u2019s Central Park neighborhood<\/a>. It\u2019s part of the UCHealth Northfield Medical Center<\/a>, which also provides urgent care, physical therapy, rehabilitation and occupational medicine.
\n

\n

UCHealth Northfield Medical Center<\/h2>\n

What? <\/strong>The 9,964 square-foot center includes urgent care, primary care<\/a>, physical therapy, rehabilitation<\/a> and occupational therapy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Who?<\/strong> Primary care providers can care from children and adults. That’s also true for the urgent care.<\/p>\n

Where?<\/strong> 4660 N. Yosemite St., Denver,\u00a0north of I-270 between E. 46th<\/sup>\u00a0Avenue and Yosemite Street, near The Shops at Northfield.<\/p>\n

When?<\/strong>\u00a0The Northfield Urgent Care Center<\/a> is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. 7 days a week. The other clinics are open on weekdays.<\/p>\n

Paying tribute to Central Park:<\/strong> The Northfield Medical Center includes aviation-themed artwork to celebrate Denver’s former airport in the neighborhood. Some UCHealth patients created art along with other local arts who showed their work at last summer’s Central Park Art Festival and the Cherry Creek Arts Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Believe it or not, Meintz likes tackling medical misinformation head-on. He encourages patients to bring in research and questions they have gathered from online searches.<\/p>\n

One of his top skills \u2014\u00a0in addition to his medical knowledge \u2014 is being a good listener. And Meintz is happy to help patients discern the difference between legitimate research and medical misinformation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI encourage people to show me what they\u2019ve researched. Let\u2019s look through it together,\u201d Meintz said. \u201cIf they looked something up, it means they\u2019re engaged.<\/p>\n

Finding credible sources is key when asking ‘Dr. Google’<\/strong><\/h2>\n

He advises patients to be very skeptical of information they\u2019ve found on social media, and instead, suggests they seek out information from reputable sources. These include respected health care organizations and government websites like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a> or the Federal Drug Administration<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cKnowing the source is so important. If you\u2019ve found information on a place like the UCHealth website, then you know it\u2019s been vetted,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Patients can also rely on peer-reviewed medical journals<\/a>. To have their work accepted in a peer-reviewed publication, study authors must share their methods and findings so that other scientists can try to duplicate the research. By definition, real medical research must be open and transparent.<\/p>\n

If a patient is relying on unreliable information, Meintz will \u201csteer the ship in another direction. I try to use what they\u2019ve researched and turn the conversation in a positive direction,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Northfield family doctor embraces transparency<\/strong><\/h2>\n

He also encourages patients to be open about any medications or alternative therapies they may be trying at home.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last thing you want to do is find out that somebody\u2019s been taking something that might be harmful to their health because they heard about it online,\u201d Meintz said. \u201cIf someone is really interested in starting something, and I don\u2019t find harm in it, then of course I\u2019ll take that into consideration.\u201d<\/p>\n

If people are choosing not to get vaccinated or are taking substances that could harm them, Meintz has found it works wonders to be open to dialogue.<\/p>\n

\u201cI ask them to list their concerns,\u201d Meintz said. \u201cI tell them, \u2018I\u2019m willing to hear you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Then he shares data based on research.<\/p>\n

\u201cReasonable people will listen. You\u2019re moving the needle forward,\u201d Meintz said. \u201cI don\u2019t get caught up in winning or losing. We\u2019re just moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Passion and respect central for this doctor in Northfield<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Meintz loves being a family medicine doctor.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat drew me to it is the breadth of issues we get to see. We care for everyone from children to the elderly. We get to see life through its entire journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

He loves building lasting relationships with patients over years and loves to empower patients to play an active role in their health. For instance, if he has a patient who comes in with diabetes, Meintz will empower the person by having them choose what treatments they want to focus on first: diet, exercise, medications. Giving patients power over their health helps them be most successful, Meintz has found.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe my role as a medical provider is to advise patients to make the best decisions for their health in a way that puts their goals first,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Originally from St. Louis, Meintz attended medical school in Kansas City and did his residency in Charlotte, North Carolina. He has lived in Colorado for about five years and like many Coloradans, loves being outside in nature.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have great outdoor spaces for hiking, camping and skiing,\u201d Meintz said.<\/p>\n

He also enjoys cross-country skiing and kayaking and encourages his patients to adopt healthy lifestyles.<\/p>\n
