Your first visit begins with an in-depth assessment of your condition. You will be treated with kindness. We are a small office so you will feel respected and not like a cog in a wheel. You will already have access to our health portal where you can answer many questions including medications. We will delve into eating, sleeping habits and emotional stressors. The visit may take 60 minutes or longer. We work with a variety of labs and will give you the information to get the tests completed. We may recommend supplements or wait until some initial testing is completed. If you are an acupuncture patient please wear loose fitting clothes.
Please list all supplements including brand name and dosages.
Bring copies of any relevant imaging or studies, ie Dexa scan, EGD, colonoscopy, mammogram, x-rays, CT’s or MRI’s.
Follow-up visits
Follow up visits can be 45-60 minutes depending on what is to be discussed. Testing will be explained and a treatment strategy will be discussed. Depending on your feedback, regimens and testing will be updated. Typically, food issues ie. A food diary may take longer to discuss. Online apps will make this easier on you.
Insurance
Our office does not take insurance but we can give you a bill that you can submit if you have out-of-network coverage. Some laboratory tests may be covered by your insurance, but typically functional medicine testing is not covered by insurances.
