The First Visit

The purpose of the first visit is to gain a wide-angle view.  Through a comprehensive medical interview and any necessary physical exam, I will get a sense of your health care needs and how they fit into the context of your life and your medical/healing philosophy.  You will also have a chance to find out more about me and how I approach wellness and the treatment of disease.

Because I am a holistic physician, I am able to approach your needs from a number of different angles.  I am comfortable working along the entire body-mind spectrum.  I can help you manage and maximize the benefit of your pharmaceutical drugs; I can offer neurotransmitter and hormone balancing tests and supplements; I can use non-invasive, energetic, mind-body medicine to spark your body’s ability to heal itself.  I can also create a flexible, personal treatment plan that incorporates all of these options to suit your health and budgetary needs.

In general, first appointments focus around one of two options:

  1. You have a specific treatment goal (e.g., bio-identical hormone balancing, second opinion of your thyroid labs, or BodyTalk).
  2. You have a specific problem or set of problems and would like my advice on how to best heal.

Both of these strategies are appropriate and welcome.

The cost of the first visit ranges from $90 - $200, and often lasts about 1.5 hours, depending on complexity.  For a complete explanation of charges, please click here to download a cost explanation sheet that also includes my sliding scale and Time of Service discount policies.  I accept cash, check, and credit/debit cards as payment.
