Comprehensive Intake Appointment

Conventional Intake Appointment

Healthy Family Member Evaluation
To support the integrity of the family unit's health and wellness orientation, a 30 minute health and wellness evaluations are available to family members of current patients. This evaluation will screen for any health concerns and provide guidance for continued healthy lifestyles.

Mind/Body Evaluation
From stress reduction techniques to overcoming phobias to dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, to trying to understand the emotional connection to physical symptoms, this 60 minute session is devoted to defining the most appropriate treatment plan for the problem. This appointment will be with Beverly Spiro, Nurse Practitioner.

Phone Appointments
For established patients who want to conduct some follow-up appointments from home, the phone option is a convenient solution. By sending the questions in ahead of time, the staff can schedule the appropriate time slot. Charges for phone consults are per minute.

Diagnosis Related Group Educational Appointments
There are many common themes that relate to disease groups that can be shared in a group setting. In this way, not only will information be shared from doctor to patient, but information and questions can also be shared between patients. In addition to the educational component, each participant in the group will have a short personal visit with the physician for a brief exam and to review individual concerns. This can provide an economical option for patients that are already established.

Preconception & Prenatal Wellness
This appointment is provided for future parents-to-be that would like to learn what they can do to assure a safe and healthy pregnancy and birth for the healthiest child possible. We will examine factors of lifestyle, nutritional status, signs of toxicity that can be addressed prior to conception or during pregnancy.

Annual Physical Exams
Wholisitic physicians have a unique approach to annual wellness - a 60 minute annual visit directed toward maintaining wellness through detection and diagnosis of early physical, cognitive and nutritional imbalances which are indicators of early illness. We access the health of internal organs and evaluate vitamin and mineral status at cellular levels through nutritional analysis of blood work. The annual exam is valuable for preventing illness in apparently healthy people who just “do not feel well”, as within the normal reference range there are subtle gradations of cellular efficacy that can be measured.
