What to expect from your visit:
Our initial visits (1-1.25hrs) and follow-up (30-45min) are grouped as one.  The first one hour visit
includes a thorough intake, with focus on your health concern, a detailed medical history, and a
discussion of the patient's goals.  During this visit we will perform any necessary physical exams
and decide what laboratory tests to perform, if necessary.  Typically we start the patient with some
basic treatments and certainly try to address any pain or discomfort.

The follow-up, will typically occur 2 week  to 4 weeks later.  During this visit, a long term plan to
achieve certain goals will be presented.  We will also discuss and schedule follow up visits at time
intervals that are dependent upon the client's needs.

Some visits do not require a full workup and may be billed by the hour.  Call to
see which approach would best suit your needs.

Consultations:  For those who wish to find out more information about how we may help them,
before making an appointment, we offer consultations.  Consultations are offered at a reduced rate
from our office visits.

Homeopathic diagnosis and treatment:
Homeopathic visits are unique in that patients are asked not only questions about their health             
concerns but also about their habits, their sleep patterns, and other questions that reveal who they     
are as a person rather than being a sum of their symptoms.  Yes, detailed information about one's     
symptoms are covered in depth, but hey are not the sole focus of the interview.  The goal with
homeopathy is to best match the entire picture of the client with that of the homeopathic medicine.  

Homeopathic visits last anywhere from 2-2.5 hours.  The information gathered from this interview is   
then entered into a specialized homeopathic software program that narrows down the diagnosis.  
The doctor will then research which medicine will work best for the client.  The whole process of
analyzing the case can take the doctor anywhere from 3-7 hours.

Homeopathic medicine is perhaps the most individualized form of medicine.  Homeopathy can work
on any given type of condition whether it is physical or emotional in nature.

Payment and Scheduling Policy:
We accept cash, checks, visa or master card, debit or credit.  Sorry we do not accept any other
forms of credit cards.  Payment is due at the time of service.

It is our policy that in order to make an appointment, we will need a credit card
number to have on file in order to confirm your appointment.  Those who fail to
give 24hrs notice of cancellation of their appointment will be charged the full
cost of their scheduled appointment.  
We do offer payment plans if you are unable to pay the full amount at the time
of service.  Call for more details.

Insurance:
At this time we are only billing AETNA PPO insurance for those whose plan covers "Out of
Network" providers.
For those who have a PPO insurance other than AETNA we can provide you with a superbill to
submit to your insurance for reimbursement.  Be sure to check with your provider to see if you
insurance will cover naturopathic medicine.  Please also note that reimbursement may depend upon
deductibles that may need to be met.

If your insurance does not cover naturopathic medicine, please write to your provider  asking that
they include coverage for naturopathic medicine.  The  more demand they receive, the more likely
they will respond.
