Does insurance cover my services?
Please contact your insurance company to find out their specific policy, usually it is an 80/20% reimbursement, where you pay 20% of my consultation fees and the insurance company pays the remainder.
What can I expect at my first appointment?
Your first appointment will last approximately one and one-half hours. During this time I will discuss your present complaints and part of your medical history. After gathering all of this information I will work up a treatment plan and discuss my suggestions. At this time we will go over everything together and you will have ample time to ask questions.
Are your therapies safe?
Most natural medicines rarely cause side effects. This does not mean they are entirely free from risk. I use therapies that are extremely safe and non-toxic. In addition, I am aware of the interactions that certain herbal medicines have with conventional drugs and will prescribe carefully and accordingly.
