Naturopathic Visit:
-
Before your visit: You’ll receive an intake form which reviews your current and past health history. You can attach any pertinent health history, labs, chart notes in the intake. The intake is required to book your visit.
-
During the visit: The first Naturopathic visit is 60-75 minutes – this allows for plenty of time to review your health history, go over labs, perform physical exams, and come up with a plan for next steps. If labs or referrals are needed, the doctor will also provide those for you either during the visit or follow up on those within the next few days.
-
After the visit: The doctor will write up a detailed individualized plan that usually includes nutrition and dietary advice, herbs or supplements, and lifestyle changes. You’ll receive your custom plan within 1-3 business days. Follow ups are typically every one to two months lasting 30 minutes until health is optimal.
Follow Up Appointments: Follow up appointments are 30 minutes long and will give time to see how the treatment plan is working. Chronic health conditions usually need 3-6 follow ups depending on the complexity of the condition. Wellness bundles are recommended for those serious about improving their health. See the FAQ page for prices and bundles.
