Dr. Parminder Jaswal Empowers Patients with an Empathetic and Holistic Approach to Healthcare
One of the greatest privileges doctors experience is the ability to, through medical expertise and wise decision-making, restore their patients’ health and give them a second (or third) chance at chasing their dreams and living a fulfilling life. Whether a patient is in need due to mistakes made in their life or due to genetic or environmental factors outside of their control, the role of a healthcare provider is to provide relief and empower the patient to live the closest to the best life they can. This is as true for patients with health-related problems that are urgent and acute as it is for patients suffering from illnesses of a more chronic, long-term nature.
Few understand the importance of second chances and dedicated healthcare more than Dr. Parminder Jaswal. A board-certified physician with 30 years of experience, Dr. Jaswal approaches his medical practice with empathy, dedication, and a holistic perspective rooted in treating the whole person, not just the specific illness. Rated in the top 5% of doctors in the state of Michigan by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan for 10 consecutive years and designated as a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) provider, Dr. Jaswal has consistently demonstrated his commitment to quality, evidence-based, patient-centered care.
Family, Early Life, and Core Values
Dr. Jaswal’s interest in science was encouraged and honed from an early age by his parents. His father’s love of science and his mother’s nurturing spirit combined to create a home environment of scientific respect and empathy toward others—a perfect combination for the doctor-to-be. His college education began with his undergraduate degree in biology, where his academic dedication and research projects earned him some acclaim. That success would continue in medical school, where he combined rigorous academic study with a deep interest in compassionate patient care approaches that would come to define his own practice.
Dr. Parminder Jaswal’s values have been shaped by his family life and his own medical journey and infuse every aspect of his medical practice. Understanding the emotional and psychological aspects of healthcare, including the challenges and fears patients might experience, allows him to provide targeted support and reassurance to patients and their families. This empathy and compassion was instilled in him by his mother and guides him in his patient-empowering, holistic healthcare approach.
Dr. Jaswal also highly values dedication and hard work, as the realities of being an effective doctor require both. The continuous learning required of any scientist, but especially one providing healthcare to other people, demands a degree of rigor and attentiveness that goes above and beyond the average person’s. The myriad needs and demands of patients require a doctor that’s willing and able to go above and beyond, and Dr. Jaswal makes sure he can do just that.
Of course, very few people are successful alone. Dr. Jaswal recognizes the importance of a collaborative approach and teamwork in general, but especially in a healthcare setting. He works closely with nurses, specialists, and other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care and identify innovations, trends, and technologies that could improve their practices.
Medical Philosophy and Career Success
Dr. Parminder Jaswal’s clinical excellence has been recognized multiple times throughout his 30-year-long career. From serving his community to mentoring and guiding the next generation of healthcare professionals, Dr. Jaswal is dedicated to improving the lives of those around him. He’s volunteered his expertise at various health camps to provide care to the underserved and regularly waives appointment charges for patients lacking insurance at his office.
His healthcare philosophy is a holistic one; he believes that patient care is best achieved by treating the whole body at the same time, instead of focusing on individual aches, pains, and illnesses. He emphasizes the importance of not just physical but emotional and social aspects of health on the body because none of those aspects of health exists in isolation from the others. With this approach to healthcare at the forefront, combined with his strong advocacy for patient empowerment, Dr. Jaswal consistently empowers his patients to make informed decisions and take an active role in their healthcare.
Another significant contributor to Dr. Jaswal’s clinical success is his identity as a lifelong learner. From keeping up to date with a number of medical journals like the New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, and the Lancet for updates and studies to attending conferences and other in-person events, he prioritizes staying informed in order to provide the best care to his patients.
Productivity and Peace: Maintaining the Balance
To maintain his high standard of care and keep productivity high, Dr. Parminder Jaswal uses daily, weekly, and monthly reviews to reflect on his progress. To keep accountable, he uses a series of reminders and alerts to track his myriad deadlines while staying flexible. Together, they provide everything needed to reassess and analyze his setbacks and celebrate his successes. He says, “My motto is to focus on growth, not perfection, and to always stay motivated and realistic.”
Even the most effective doctors and servants have to take care of themselves as well—after all, they’re no use to anyone if they’re completely burnt out. As determined and relentless as Dr. Parminder Jaswal has been for his entire career, he knows the importance of taking time to balance his work and his own life. He values the time he gets to spend with his family and community. According to Dr. Jaswal, “Success could be defined by being able to manage a fulfilling career while also spending quality time with family and pursuing personal interests.”
Looking To The Future
Dr. Parminder Jaswal is looking to take his holistic, patient-centered approach to healthcare in a new direction with Revival Medical, a new clinic for urgent care, primary care, and addiction treatment. A firm believer in healing and second chances, Dr. Jaswal aims to provide the care needed for people to be their best selves. Having worked with a number of addiction patients in his time as a physician, Dr. Jaswal wants to give those in need the resources and support needed to revive and redefine themselves in a healthy way.
