What to Expect from your First Appointment with a Naturopath
- During the initial visit we will sit down and talk for 1.5 hrs to get to know you better. If you can bring your previous medical records, labs, imaging reports (or have them faxed to our office), it will be very helpful.
- We will review labs, previous diagnosis, personal and family history
- Thorough in-depth questions will be asked about different systems of the body
- At the end of the visit a treatment plan will be organized with the recommended dietary changes, nutritional supplements, possible botanical and homeopathic support and any other recommendations (helpful referrals, additional testing, etc).
- The treatment plan will be presented in a printed and electronic forms and thoroughly explained
During follow up appointments:
First follow up appointment is best within the first month after the initial consultation. During this visit we will review any changes, what went well with the treatment plan and what did not work out and why.
Even if the condition started to resolve, it is important to follow up to establish what the most helpful recommendation was and to establish a long term health plan.
If you have questions, please do not hesitate to let me know!
