What should a new client know about working with you?

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Once an appointment is booked, please expect a call from the office to schedule a New Patient Evaluation to determine diagnoses (if any).
After that determination, I will get a history, assess your symptoms, and then we would discuss a treatment plan that may or may not include medication, supplements, nutrition, psychotherapy, environmental changes, and/or lab work.
Depending on the diagnosis and treatment, a 20-30 minute follow up appointment is usually within 2-4 weeks after the initial appointment
