‘The manipulation of the microbiome, both in the oral cavity and elsewhere, is the future of medicine and dentistry. Proactive maintenance of health, rather than management of disease, is the way forward. Similarly, the future of healthcare lies in comprehensive, multispeciality family practice with a family physician at the centre, which can collaborate with specialists and provide personalized health care. The Capstone clinic offers medical, eye and dental outpatient care, all under one roof in a pleasant ambience.’
