Prior to your initial appointment you will receive a Medical History Questionnaire and consent forms via email which will help to streamline our session. Please take the time to fill these out at least two days prior to your initial appointment. For online appointments, ensure you have a stable internet connection.
Initial consultations are typically 20 minutes to allow time to go over your medical history, health goals and where you are currently at. After your initial consultation, you will go for bloodwork. Once the bloodwork has been completed, you will then book a comprehensive assessment of 45 minutes to allow enough time to thoroughly review the results and come up with a treatment plan. Follow-up appointments may vary in length depending on your needs but are usually between 20 minutes and 45 minutes.
We offer a tailored approach that may include prescription medications, natural remedies, and lifestyle recommendations based on your unique needs and goals.
The timeline for results varies depending on the individual and the nature of the condition. Some patients experience improvements within weeks, while others may require several months for significant progress.
