NEW PATIENTS

I am a Functional Medicine/Anti-Aging provider who works in a consultant capacity with patients. My goal is to address the underlying cause of illness and reduce the need for pharmaceuticals, minimize visits to the doctor's office and improve your overall health and wellness in ways that your PCP may not utilize. I do not provide screening tests (PAP, mammograms, orders for colonoscopies, vaccinations, etc) that are normally handled in a primary care physician's office. However, because I am managing hormones and providing hormone therapy, I can provide patients with mammogram orders and bone mineral density (BMD) orders to monitor the safety and efficacy of the therapy that I am providing.

I am committed to a different approach to medicine and managing health. Our current healthcare system is driven by a "disease model" rather than a "wellness model." I am not a participating provider in any insurance plan, therefore, the office does not accept or bill insurance. 

After the appointment is scheduled, you can download new patient intake forms under the “New Patient” tab. This needs to be filled out and returned before the first office visit. It is extensive and lengthy, and quite different than the one-page intake form required by most conventional physician offices. The detail in these forms is your first indication that this is a different healthcare experience. I am interested in your sleep patterns, stress levels, interpersonal relationships, eating style, etc. All of these factors are integral to a patient’s overall health and wellness.
