All New Patients Start with a Phone Call

The first step to become a Functional  Patient is the Free Consultation office visit  It's a 30 min meeting with the  Nurse Practitioner or Doctor for you to tell us what's going on with you and for us to listen to you and see if we can help you.  

Based on the number of problems you have we'll decide if you're Functional Medicine Fast Track patient or Functional Medicine Full Track patient. This decision is not based upon the complexity of your problems but based on the number of your problems. One track just takes longer to deep dive due to the number of problems. 

** We charge a $30 scheduling fee for the Free Consultation. If you decide to become a patient, we give you credit for the $30. If you don't become a patient, we refund your $30 on the spot. If you don't show for your free consultation you forfeit the $30. 

We block 30 minutes in our schedule for your appointment; and, if you don't show  then others can not get in to see the practitioners.  

Functional Medicine Phase 1 is called - The Intake History. We charge a single flat fee for Phase 1 - Intake History no matter how long or how many visits it takes. For Fast Track patients we normally deep dive into 1-3 major problems and 1 minor problem, so we charge a little less than full track patients.  For 

Full Track patients we normally deep dive into up to 6 major problems an up to 3 minor problems. This can take 4 or more weeks of intensive history work by our team of intake RN's. Both tracks includes several hundred dollars of basic intake testing. 1) Basic Bloodwork (unless you had some in the past 3 months) 2) Urinalysis, 3) Basic Minerals Testing 4) Basic Toxic Testing and 5) Basic antioxidant testing. 

We're going to ask you to keep Food logs and BM logs and Sleep logs. During this time, we also get and review your past medical records, past test and past imaging. We may need to order new or additional blood work or other essential test during your intake. 

Next comes Phase 2 - The Functional Physical Examination visit. We charge a flat fee for the Functional Physical Examination Visit. 

The Doctor or Nurse Practitioner will do a fully clothed Functional Physical Examination with a nurse in the room at all times. We do not examining male or female genitalia. Our patients tell us its the most comprehensive physical examination they have ever had.

If during the functional physical examination we find that we need to do a color doppler ultrasound, then the cost for the  ultrasound will be a flat fee of $150 more. Sometimes you just need to see organs or other things more clearly. 

Next is Phase 3 - The Report of Findings visit. We charge a flat fee for the Report of Findings visit.

We know you want, NO SUPRISES. At this visit the Doctor or Nurse Practitioner will give you three documents: #1) A Differential Diagnoses {a list of what we found and our reasoning}  #2)  A Millar Functional Medicine Treatment Plan [just how are we going to treat all the things on your differential diagnosis list, that are treatable]  and #3)  A No Suppresses Act estimate of cost laying out additional test needed and their cost. What treatment you need and the cost. And what nutraceuticals, supplements, IV;s, Homeopathic Remedies or Peptides are needed and the cost.  

 Some patients want to treat everything on the treatment plan  list others a few things now and a few things later. Remember we work for you, so just tell us what you want to treat.
