Our Start
It all started with a little boy named Joey: a child with autism whose needs were not being served by mainstream medicine. The fragmented nature of conventional medicine – a maze of specialists, referrals, and bureaucracy – failed Joey. Doctors tried to treat his immediate symptoms without dealing with the underlying causes.
After many exhaustive yet unsuccessful treatments, Joey’s mother found that her son’s suffering was lessened by regulating his diet. It was while researching the role diet plays in children with autism that she met Dr. Hicks at an autism conference. He too was searching for an alternative to the assembly-line/cookie-cutter mentality of mainstream medicine.
Working with Betsy, Dr. Hicks greatly improved Joey’s condition with the combined use of nutritional therapy, proper supplementation, and homeopathy. Joey steadily began to open up. He started to speak, understand others, listen, and show happiness. Inspired by Joey, Dr. Hicks left his private practice and started Pathways with Betsy.
What began as a mission to treat children with autism, quickly expanded to include adults suffering from chronic illness, as the parents and family of his young patients began to seek help from Dr. Hicks for their own health problems.
Dr. Hicks’ unique approach is a drastic departure from that of mainstream medicine. Unlike harried doctors working in a traditional clinic or hospital, he listens deeply to each patient’s medical history in order to get to the root causes of the patient’s illness. He is concerned not only with previous treatments received and symptoms experienced, but also with the daily life events that impact a patient’s overall health.
Dr. Hicks’ pursues a holistic path to whole-body wellness. His hybrid approach combines scientific medical testing with nutritional counseling, supplementation, homeopathic remedies, as well as other innovative treatments.
The passion, love, and determination to find happiness for Joey remains the cornerstone of Pathways’ work.
