Pre-consult with our Executive Director
Are we a match? We want to make sure our doctors are the best fit for you.
This complimentary phone meeting with our Executive Director provides the opportunity to discuss your health goals and ask questions about our office and services.
This is also a chance for us to make sure that our offerings are going to best support you on your journey to optimal health.
If we believe another office or service is a better fit, we are happy to share that information with you too.
Build your Health Profile
Share your entire health history. The more we know, the better we can serve you.
Once you have scheduled your initial consultation, we collect your detailed health story and will coordinate getting any pertinent medical records (like laboratory results and imaging studies) from the last year or so.
The doctors will then review all of this information before you sit down with them for your first visit.
Meet your Doctors
We take the time to get to know you and explain the details.
Your initial consultation is roughly 90 minutes, but let’s just say no one is counting down the minutes.
We want to get to know what makes you, you and believe the best way to do that is to spend time listening to your story and asking detailed questions.
Your doctor will also complete a physical examination which includes everything from listening to your heart to a full neurological workup if necessary.
Advanced Laboratory Testing
Share your entire health history. The more we know, the better we can serve you.
Our testing menu is vast and your doctors will work with you to curate a testing plan tailored to your needs.
We offer onsite blood draws and our nursing staff is available to assist with other testing needs like nasal swabs and urinalysis.
Some of our testing, like stool and urine tests, can be done in the convenience of your own home.
We will also order imaging studies like ultrasounds, MRI’s, and bone density scans when appropriate.

Personalized Plan
From what to eat to supplements and IV infusions we’ve got you covered with a detailed protocol tailored just to you.
At the end of each visit, you will receive a personalized protocol that outlines all of the recommendations discussed in your visit and includes resources to continue learning at home.
Our patient care coordinator and health coaches will review it with you step by step to make sure you have access to everything you need.
On-Going Partnership
Whether it’s a question about your plan or something new that just popped up, we want to know.
Our doctors are available in between appointments to answer questions and touch base about anything new or unusual you might be experiencing.
Our team is here to help you every step of the way.
