Naturopathic Medicine New Patient Consultation
This is not your typical doctor’s visit. Each new patient experience is designed to cover everything from an extensive health intake, through innovative lab testing and nutrition support.
Step one
New Patient Engagement:
Start Your Journey
Start your journey by connecting with us through either our website contact form or by giving our office a call.
You will gain a clear understanding of the commitment involved, including associated costs so that you can make a well-informed decision to proceed with our comprehensive, personalized care. Be prepared to answer questions such as your health goals & concerns, solutions you've previously tried, and additional follow-up questions regarding your health history. This will better inform us of how we can serve you or if we're the right fit.
Step two
Submitting new patient paperwork
Once we schedule your new patient appointments, we will send you multiple new patient forms, including a health history and a symptom survey form. We ask that you fill these out promptly so that our Practitioners have enough time to digest the information and prepare for your first appointment.
Step three
Labs & Health History appointment
Your first appointment is scheduled in the morning to allow for fasting before your blood and urine samples are taken for your labs.
Afterward, our practitioners will review your life history, lifestyle, behaviors, diet, and symptoms to gain a holistic understanding of your health. This thorough process combines your story with lab data to ensure an accurate problem "diagnosis" and an effective treatment plan.
Step four
Lab results & Report of Findings
During your second appointment with our Practitioner, she will review all of your lab results with you in detail, ensuring you fully understand each aspect and the significance of the labs within the full picture of your health profile. Based on this analysis, the Practitioner will prepare a thorough, sequentially-oriented recovery plan tailored specifically to your needs.
If necessary, additional labs may be ordered at this time to further refine your functional medicine treatment strategy. This personalized approach ensures you receive the most effective care and guidance on your journey to optimal health.
Step five
Choosing our program
Following the Report of Findings (ROF) appointment, you will receive a comprehensive protocol of supplements that fits your needs based on your labs and the results of your Nutrition Response Testing.
At this point you will decide if you're able to financially and mentally commit to our 9-month healing program.
Step six
Our 9-month program
Our 9-month program is split up into two phases
​
Phase 1 lasts for three months and includes a diet & lifestyle Practitioner who works in tandem with your Nutritional Health Practitioner to create a personalized diet and lifestyle plan based off your health needs. This phase also includes more frequent appointments to ensure you're absorbing your supplements and adjusting to your new lifestyle. We prefer to keep a close eye on you during this time.
​
Once 'graduated' to Phase 2, we will cut back to once a month appointments for the rest of the 6 month period.
