CLINICAL BACKGROUND
He has practiced internal medicine from1972-2009.
He began his career as an internist with Kaiser in Richmond, California, one of the U.S.’s first HMO’s (a health maintenance organization). The Kaiser philosophy of care, at that time, was preventive medicine.
The young Michael E. Platt, M.D. then moved to Los Angeles to join Ross-Loos, which was the U.S.’s first HMO - all patient procedures, lab fees, etc. were covered, and doctors spent one hour with each patient. When insurance companies took over the management of HMO’s, he left Ross-Loos and joined a traditional medical group as an internist.
His next mission was as a hospitalist with acute care facilities in Los Angeles. And then in the late 1970’s, he turned his attention and interests to convalescent home medicine. He developed his insight into health problems associated with aging, and became passionate about preventing physical decline and illness. For a period of almost 20 years, he served as medical director for nursing homes in Los Angeles, CA.
In 1981, following the premature death of his mother from breast cancer, he discovered that keeping hormones in balance might be a path to wellness, a concept he says, was not taught in medical school. He also became aware, that if his mother had been receiving natural progesterone, she may have lived.
In 1995 the ambitious Michael E. Platt, M.D. moved, and opened an office in Palm Desert, California, to focus on a natural hormone approach to wellness. In 2007 he moved the Platt Medical Center to Rancho Mirage, CA.
He places his attention on the causation of illness, and has developed a protocol to eliminate or alleviate disabling conditions such as ADD, ADHD, fibromyalgia, menopause, migraines, osteoporosis, restless leg syndrome, weight challenges and more. The protocol includes natural hormones, nutritional guidance, and supplements.
Please be advised that Michael E. Platt, M.D. is no longer licensed by the state of California. He was literally forced to surrender his license because the California Medical Review Board, along with their "experts," felt that Michael E. Platt was too dangerous to practice medicine.
A note from Michael E. Platt, M.D.
In spite of the fact that in 40 years of practicing medicine, I have never hurt a patient, the Medical Review Board (MRB) felt that my approach was questionable because I took people off prescription drugs that other doctors had prescribed. Drugs are known to kill over 100,000 people a year and cause a huge number of hospitalizations. The reason I was able to get people off their medications is because I have always treated the underlying cause of why they were on the drugs in the first place. The MRB considers that getting people well is outside of what they term, "the standard of care."
If getting people well was an important concern of the California State board, I would still be a licensed physician in the state of California. I am still free to talk to clients and share with them my recommendations for their health.
I'm also free to help educate and share my vast experience and knowledge with other medical professionals on the importance of hormonal health.
All clients are advised to discuss any suggestions I make with their doctor.
