I'm George Guess, a family physician trained in classical Homeopathic medicine. I have been practicing Homeopathy for 29 years. A few years after completing my family practice residency as an M.D. I became interested in Homeopathy. A gentle yet potent method of healing, Homeopathy appealed to me because of its promise and its methodology, which addresses the whole individual -- mind, heart and body.
I studied extensively with George Vithoulkas, M.I.H., the pre-eminent Homeopathic educator of our time, culminating my years of study with a one-year period of intensive study with Vithoulkas in Athens, Greece. After practicing in Asheville, North Carolina for 14 years, my family and I moved to Charlottesville, Virginia. Here I maintain a solo private homeopathic medical practice. In addition to my work as a physician, I serve as Editor of the Journal of the American Institute of Homeopathy (the oldest professional medical organization in the United States) and President of the American Board of Homeotherapeutics (the national homeopathic medical specialty board for MDs and DOs). In addition, I have periodically lectured medical and nursing, etc. students about Homeopathy at the Medical College of Virginia and the University of Virginia.
The practice is always open to new patients. If you would like more information, refer to the headings listed on this page. I would also invite you to write, call or send email with your questions.
Initial consultations take from one-and-a-half to two hours, after which your Homeopathic prescription is determined. Routine follow-up appointments are initially scheduled four to six weeks later. Although it is best if follow-up consultations are in person, I have many long-distance patients who follow up by telephone appointments. As improvement is noted, the intervals between appointments are progressively lengthened. The ultimate goal is the lasting restoration of health free from dependency on any form of medical treatment.
Achieving this goal occurs rapidly in some, gradually in others. Homeopathic treatment is best viewed as a process of healing that progresses over time and that requires time. It would be a disservice to oneself and the Homeopathic practitioner if a patient's expectation was of a quick fix from a single prescription. This is not to belie those frequent instances when improvement does occur very rapidly, especially in acute diseases. Homeopathy is effective for both chronic and acute diseases of all types, and it is appropriate for all ages. Please refer to a brief explanation of homeopathy for more information.
