Dr.Jim Coy was born in North Caroline but stayed only long enough to get it stamped on his birth certificate. He called Orlando, Florida home until his move to Southwest Florida in 1997.
He graduated from the University of Florida and is proud to be a 'Gator. His medical training took him to Cebu City in the Philipines with plenteous training in general medicine and surgery, nutrition and tropical diseases. He completed post-graduate medical training at the Kansas University Medical Center in Kansas City before starting his first six years of medical practice in Marysville, Kansas where he acquired intense experience in obstertrics, gynecology, pediatrics, general surgery, emergency and family medicine. He was a company surgeon for the Union Pacific Railroad, the industrial physician for several local companies and served as the county coroner.
In 1985 Dr.Coy came home to Central Florida and worked in emergency medicine and as a hospital physician, spent the majority of his time in the medical intensive care unit. At the same time Dr.Coy began a muti-year stint in the walk-in clinic business. Always urged to hurry, Dr.Coy found it easy to speed efficiently through acute care cases, but at the same time noticed a lot of patients returning several times a year for another "quick fix." As he frustrated the staff for "taking too long with his patients," he won their praise as well, and the satisfaction of his patients because he kept digging until he got to the bottom of their problems. But the choice of solutions just seemed incomplete.
When Dr.Coy's father introduced him to his own chelation therapy physician, Dr.Coy had already been introduced to environmental medicine and allergy therapies not used by conventional physicians. It was at that time over ten years ago that Dr.Coy began to add to his training. The giants and the pioneers in what has become known as non-traditional medicine were everywhere. Dr.Coy has acquired multiple skills that enable him to see patients as degenerating but thriving, imbalanced but correctable, turning despair into hope, helping people to regain control of their own health.
Dr.Coy believes, "God has created us in a wonderful and special way, and has revealed to us wonderful things at our disposal that we may use to not only live in good health, but to restore our bodies and minds, and spirits, and find joy in Him forever."
