What can I expect in the first visit?

Welcome to the office! The first visit to the Integrative Health Centre will involve filling out a general information sheet including the major health concerns you would like addressed.

The visit with the doctor will include an in-depth history of your present health concerns, diet, energy and sleep patterns, major surgeries and general health status. The history will be followed by a general physical exam, as well as specialized testing procedures using muscle testing and electrodermal acupuncture testing.

Because we believe that education is an important factor in the success of the program, the bulk of the visit is used to explain to the patient what is happening in the body and what is needed to correct the imbalance. The information will then be used to design a program, with the individual, using lifestyle and supplements to achieve the desired result.

Naturopathic doctors are educated in all aspects of physical care therefore recent medical lab testing is an important part of the diagnosis and management of the patient. We request that the patient bring in any recent blood work to be evaluated during the visit.

A second visit will be scheduled one month later to evaluate the progress of the patient and make any necessary changes. At this time specialized blood work, urinalysis or bioresonance may be conducted to aid in achieving an optimal state of functioning in the body. Subsequent visits will then be scheduled in three to six month intervals.

Because education and knowledge are crucial in understanding how to achieve optimal health, we encourage our patients to ask questions.

 
Fee Schedule

Initial visit: $160.00
This is usually a one hour interview in which testing and other diagnostic procedures are employed to determine the fastest and most efficient methods of attaining your goals. 

Follow-up visits: $90.00
Typically a 30 minutes follow-up to evaluate the success of the program to date, and the changes to be made in the future. The first follow-up visit is usually one month after the initial visit, and subsequent follow-up visits are in three to six months. 

INSURANCE ISSUES Check you insurance coverage -- some extended health care plans cover a portion of the cost of a visit to a naturopathic doctor. This is an invaluable resource that you've always had but never used. Medical fees charged by a naturopathic doctor not covered by insurance can be deducted on your personal income tax return. Unfortunately, expenditures made for dietary supplements recommended by your doctor are not considered medical expenses. The greatest investment you'll make is in your health.
