OUR SERVICES

We offer consultations for both chronic and acute concerns.

AN INITIAL VISIT is usually between 1.5 and 2 hours in length and we prefer to take health histories in person during this time. We do not do physical examinations; our time together will be spent learning about you and your unique set of circumstances. For some people, especially children, this initial visit may be too long. We can continue to gather further information and complete the consult over the phone. Our offices are both child and adult friendly.

In addition to information about your primary concerns, we will need to know a lot about you in general. This is important and may be decisive when choosing the remedy. We will ask questions such as: How vital and energetic do you feel? How does your sense of well-being (not any particular symptom) change as a result of environmental or emotional factors? How are you affected, in general, by temperature, weather, time of day, activity level, eating and sleeping? What makes you feel better or worse? You may find that many of the questions we ask are different than those generally asked by your primary care doctor.

After we gather all of the information from our initial interview, we study your case. During this time, we may call you for clarification or with more questions. We encourage you to call us with information that may be recalled after the interview . Because we find that two perspectives often provide a broader view, Miriam and Mary consult with each other on most of our individual cases. We routinely ask for your permission to do so and of course, all client information is kept confidential.

We will call you back, usually within 2-5 days, with a recommendation of a remedy and a suggested way to take this remedy. We will supply most remedies to you and they are almost always included in the consultation fee. At this time, we will also schedule a follow up appointment.

FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENTS are usually set for 3 to 6 weeks after beginning a remedy. At this time we will assess the action of the remedy and recommend a next course of action. Follow up appointments are vital to assessing your progress and are generally between 30 and 45 minutes in length.

ACUTE CARE APPOINTMENTS can be scheduled as the need for them arises. Some examples of acute conditions are colds and flu's, ear infections, coughs, food poisoning, poison oak, and muscle strains. Same day acute care visits are usually available either by phone or in the office. Remedy recommendations will be offered at the conclusion of this consultation.

PHONE CONSULTATIONS AND APPOINTMENTS will be charged the standard follow up rate.

MISSED APPOINTMENTS OR CANCELLATIONS
We ask that you please call 24 hours in advance to cancel or change appointments. Missed appointments may be charged the normal fee.
