New patients
Your first visit, start to finish.
Your first appointment is an evaluation, not a sales conversation. Its purpose is to work out what is actually going on before anyone discusses treatment.
-
Book your appointment
Schedule online or call the clinic. Let us know what prompted the visit so we can allow enough time.
-
Bring your history
Bring a list of current medications and supplements, any recent laboratory results, and relevant past medical history.
-
Talk with a clinician
You will be seen by a licensed clinician who takes a history, examines you, and discusses what your symptoms could and could not indicate.
-
Testing where appropriate
If laboratory testing is warranted, your clinician will explain which tests they are ordering and what those tests can and cannot tell you.
-
Review results together
Results are interpreted by your clinician in the context of your symptoms and history. A number on its own is not a diagnosis.
-
Decide on a plan
If treatment is appropriate, you will discuss the options, the expected benefits, the risks, the alternatives and the follow-up involved before anything begins.
