Connecting and Getting Help ~
The patient acceptance process...

Welcome!

Thank you for considering us as part of your road to recovery and wellness!

The type of care that we offer is very different than any other type of care you've been exposed to.  To help you full understand what we do, we encourage you to take some time to fully explore the educational information throughout this section of our website, as well as the Functional Medicine FAQ.

Steps to Acceptance:

1. Functional Medicine Orientation for all new patients.  Learn more.
2. Complete all intake forms and submit them at least 3 days before your first appointment.  Please note that we can only accept 100% completed forms, with no questions left blank.  Please double check!  (All information is helpful; if you have copies of prior lab testing and medical records of any kind from other doctors, please submit those, too, regardless of how long ago they were generated.)
   
3. Records Review.  The doctor will review all of your intake forms and submitted information behind the scenes before your first appointment.
4. First appointment. During your first appointment, she will inform you of her decision whether or not she will accept your case.  If she has decided to go forward, please be prepared to order all initial lab testing on that same day.
   

No guessing.  No skimping.  100% commitment.

Please understand that because the doctor spends a lot of time and energy on each case, she can't accept every case.  Because of this, it's very important that you're as committed and serious about getting better as we are.

Spouses/significant others MUST attend 2 visits: your Lab Test Ordering day and your Lab Test Results day. BOTH parents/guardians of the potential child patient must attend these visits as well. Serious lifestyle changes require unwavering support from family and loved ones.
