Do you accept insurance?

Although I do not contract directly with insurance companies, I am happy to provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance. A variety of insurance companies and healthshare companies are providing reimbursement for wellness programs and supplements. I do accept Health Savings Plans (HSA cards) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA plans).

Do you prescribe prescription medications?

I am trained and licensed to prescribe a variety of prescription medications, however, they are usually selected only if appropriate for the individual’s case. I have found that the alternative approaches I prescribe are very effective and provide your body what it needs to restore and repair itself. This does not mean that you should come off of your medications or that I would take you off of your medications. I will work with your other health care practitioners if you are on prescription medications to find the best solutions for you.

What can I expect from you?

From a clinical standpoint, you can expect to learn a lot about your body and health in general, as I enjoying teaching my patients in a way that makes sense to them. I actively engage in current and evidence-based educational materials to bring the most effective strategies and information to my practice.

From a relational standpoint, you can expect to be heard and seen. I spend a significant amount of time with my patients to truly understand their source of suffering and discern the best route to proceed forward with. You can expect compassion and dedication, and ultimately, a partner in your journey to wholeness. I truly believe in the healing process and will always stand for your greatest outcomes, despite what you’ve been told in the past about your health condition.

How long will it take until I get results?

This is one of the most common questions I receive! There are various factors to take into consideration that generally contribute to the rate of healing, such as your specific health condition, your age, the number of medications you are currently on, and your level of participation in the process. It is important that you implement the lifestyle recommendations and maintain them to see optimal results. Using natural medicines may sometimes take longer to see results, however, I assure my patients that following sound natural laws will always move them in the right direction. Most of my patients feel better within the first month of treatment and continue improving thereafter.

It is quite difficult to treat one body part without treating the rest of its parts. Every organ in the body has an impact on some other organ in the body. Naturopathic Medicine takes into account all of the body’s organ systems, physiology, and biochemistry and utilizes therapies that harmoniously work to gently and efficaciously treat the most current concern, while constantly digging to delve into the root of the problem.

To address your specific health concern, your entire health history is taken into account and carefully examined. Then the most appropriate diagnostic lab work and imaging are performed. Ultimately, an individualized approach utilizing alternative therapies and treatments that are the most optimal for your particular case are prescribed.

The human body is a beautiful, intricate, and interconnected system that functions to constantly balance itself out. Naturopathic Medicine honors this concept and uses approaches and treatments to holistically achieve balance in the body. Using modern science and the latest technology paired with traditional and well-known natural therapies allows for a powerful duality to tackle your health concerns head on.
