Naturopathic Consultation

What distinguishes your Naturopathic appointment from your average appointment to other medical providers is the time we take in actually listening to you, answering your questions, and addressing your healthcare concerns. We realize that no one knows your body as thoroughly as you do and gathering as much information from you as possible can help us to better understand not only your condition but the impact it is having on your life, which can impede upon your mental/emotion health as well; this adds to our uniqueness. We are concerned with your whole health and not just fragments of who you are. By addressing your whole health concerns body, mind, & spirit we can optimize your health and wellness and an improved quality of life.

COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH ASSESSMENT ~ up to 90 mins

The Comprehensive Assessment is an extensive virtual (video) visit that gathers a detailed picture of the various factors that can contribute to your illness and diseases. It also allows the doctor time both pre and during appointment to more fully evaluate what is potentially the root cause of your health disturbances and establish a safe and effective wellness protocol to restore your health.  A take home plan of action is established just for you with your unique health concerns in mind.  A detailed comprehensive assessment form MUST be completed and submitted 48 HOURS PRIOR to this appointment.

INITIAL FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENT ~ up to 60 mins

The 1st Follow-Up Appointment is to review lab work results, monitor for responses to wellness plan, and make necessary adjustments to the original wellness plan.  This also helps you stay accountable to achieving your health goals.

SUBSEQUENT FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENTS ~ up to 30 or 60 mins

Restoring health to optimal wellness takes time.  Subsequent appointments will give you that time to build comfort with your wellness plan via professional support/accountability, education, and empowerment to reach your goals.

BEFORE YOUR 1ST APPOINTMENT –  ALL APPOINTMENTS ARE VIRTUAL ONLY

To help us better serve you and optimize your one-on-one time with Dr. Houston we require that you completely fill-out a Comprehensive Health Assessment Document, which provides us with a detailed picture of the various factors that contribute to your health. This is an electronic Patient Intake Document that you will receive instructions to complete after scheduling your first appointment. While filling out this document you may need to refer to past medical documents along with any current prescription and/or supplement bottles, it is very important that you please allow yourself 60 minutes to fill it out in its entirety and it must be electronically submitted no later than 48 hours prior to your first appointment.

Appointment Changes/Cancellations

All scheduling for wellness services and changes can be done online at your convenience once you register.

Please practice courtesy by making any changes to your appointment no later than 48 hours prior to scheduled appointment time. This allows us time to schedule other patients in this time slot and plan the flow of the workday accordingly. Deposits for Comprehensive Health Assessment are NON-REFUNDABLE.   Due to limited availability all “No-show” appointments will be charged for that appointment.  All of this can be avoided by demonstrating courtesy at all times with scheduling.   Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation towards helping us run a practice of premium quality in the services we provide for our patients.
