Preventing, optimizing and preserving patients' health and well-being is the mission of Pulse and Poise, says Shopana Ganpath, M.D., the clinic's medical director and owner. "We leverage a variety of solutions, medical and more, for the complete wellness of our patients," she asserts, committing unabashedly to trying to keep people out of hospitalizations.
The clinic opened in Frisco during last October at 25663 Smotherman Road, Suite 204.
"We combine integrated health treatments with world-class equipment, streamlined processes and digital tools, so we have more time to focus on helping patients feel better, and to connect them with resources to help them stay that way," says Dr. Ganpath.
She says as she saw more patients for primary care, they asked her about how, without surgeries, they could bolster energy or renew certain aspects of their health, particularly as they aged. "I then trained in hormone and testosterone replacement therapies, and that opened my eyes to the whole world of proactive wellness. There are so many benefits being discovered in peptide therapies."
Because no two people are built the same, she says her philosophy is "not to treat by the [statistical] numbers" but to "treat by individual patients and their individual health care needs."
Pulse and Poise primary care services include annual physicals, diabetes management, hypertension management, lipid management, asthma/COPD management, smoking cessation, preventive care, pap smears, mental health screenings, depression and anxiety management, infection screenings, geriatric care, COVID-19 testing/management and other acute illnesses.
Lifestyle medicine services there reflect weight loss treatments and nutritional support.
Aesthetic services cover anti-wrinkle treatments, fillers, skin or hair rejuvenation and peels. Additionally, this medical staff provides three types of skin treatments for situations such as skin complexion improvement, reducing skin irregularities, removing unwanted hair and micro needling to treat scars, enlarged pores, wrinkles and stretch marks.
They also offer IV infusion services at the clinic for treating conditions such as dehydration and pneumonia. Dr. Ganpath says their IV infusion therapy commonly includes vitamins (vitamins C, B1, B6, B12), minerals (calcium, magnesium), coenzymes (NAD+) and antioxidants. In addition to boosting overall health and wellness, she adds that IV therapy helps with improving fatigue, age-related muscle and joint pains and sleep, as well as reducing inflammation and allergies, strengthening immune system protection against cold and flus, improving energy and endurance without the side effects of stimulants or high-caffeine energy drinks, improving metabolic efficiency, speeding up healing and improving brain function and cognition.
Dr. Ganpath is a board-certified internal medicine physician, with extensive training and experience in medicine, aesthetics and overall patient wellness over the past 15 years. She completed her residency at Detroit Medical Center’s Sinai Grace Hospital, a part of Wayne State University. She obtained her medical degree from Pondicherry University in India. She's a member of the American Board of Internal Medicine, the American College of Physicians, and the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine.
"I enjoy the opportunities from primary care and overall wellness care that allow me to form strong relationships with my patients, and to help them feel more self-confident. It's a win-win situation," she states. "It's fun and inspiring to see people so happy."
Dr. Ganpath is a mother of two boys and a girl, and says she enjoys music, interior design and cooking. She shares that giving back to the community is also important to her. While she donates to UNICEF and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, she says she also plans to donate a percentage of future clinic proceeds to local charities focused on assisting children and U.S. military veterans.
Bethany Gidney works at the clinic as a nurse practitioner. She and Dr. Ganpath say they manage patients' chronic illnesses, but also refer patients to other medical specialists when necessary.
Regarding leading-edge treatment devices and equipment used at Pulse and Poise, Dr. Ganpath spotlights non-surgical procedures, such as the Morpheus8 handpiece that uses both radiofrequency and micro needling to remodel faces and bodies. "This treatment stimulates collagen production and resurfaces skin to reveal a younger looking you. Areas that can be treated include eyes, face, neck, abdomen, back and legs," she adds.
"We can’t stop aging, but we can control how aging looks for us."
Ganpath Thanumoorthy, Pulse and Poise office manager and spouse of Dr. Ganpath, says the clinic offers ZO Skin Health products, which provide a comprehensive approach to creating and maintaining healthy skin for anyone, regardless of age, ethnicity, unique skin condition or skin type. "These are medical grade products, available only from licensed providers, like us. They help with correcting sun damage and pigmentation to prevent future damage."
Pulse and Poise telehealth services for fully remote visits are provided for patients who aren't able to physically go to the clinic.
"When dealing with health issues, it’s important to feel not only comfortable, but also supported and well informed. Our team of medical professionals always has our patients’ best interests and well-being at heart, and will make sure they're given the highest level of care," Dr. Ganpath assures.
