Frequently Asked Questions

Your first appointment at the Centre is our chance to really get to know you and your health-care needs. At your first appointment, we will do a deep dive into your health and history. This visit will include the following:

• Meridian Testing
• Iodine Testing
• PH Testing
• Complete Medical Exam
• Nutritional Guidance

Individualized treatment plan focused on your health goals and condition, using multiple systems of medicine. The treatment plans are customized and include nutrition recommendations, supplements, medications if needed, mind-body strategies and exercise suggestions as examples.

Please understand that this is an extensive visit, so we ask that you allow 3-4 hours for your new patient visit.

Your provider is happy to review outside labs you bring with you for an additional fee. This excludes annual conventional labs, but applies to long history & any complicated labs. Because this will increase the time developing your personalized treatment plan, there is an additional fee that is contingent on the level of provider you are seeing, and ranges from $90 – $125.

Due to the extensive nature of the health care we provide and our focus on the root causes of your symptoms, our in-office visits are longer than traditional appointments that you may have experienced. Our appointments allow for ample time with the provider. We understand your time is valuable and work hard to efficiently address your health-care needs.
