Frequently Asked Questions
Who do you treat?
We offer primary care services including health assessments, annual checkups, preventive testing, and primary care medicine to men, women, and youth aged 15 and above. We also see functional medicine patients for a wide variety of concerns, including hormonal, weight management, gut health, and immune system issues. If you are wondering whether we are the right practise for your particular issue, call (310) 550-6728 to speak to the nurse.
Do you prescribe medications?
We prefer a natural approach to healing, emphasizing a healthy diet, supplements, and exercise, but we do prescribe medications if we think that is the best option. However, we usually do not keep patients on medications for extended periods of time unless necessary.
Do you do blood work?
Most blood work can be performed during your visit. Your blood samples will be sent to specialty laboratories for processing. If you are not able to come into the office to have blood work done, we can send a mobile phlebotomist to your home or office or email you a lab slip to get testing either at LabCorp or Quest Diagnostics. The mobile phlebotomy service is available with most tests, however, there are certain tests that will need to be performed at the office.
What are your payment options, and what insurance plans do you accept?
We accept cash and credit cards. Your visit fee is payable immediately following your exam. Insurance is not accepted for consultations but is accepted for most routine laboratory testing. Specialty testing which may be recommended based on
your health issues generally are not covered by insurance, however, we will discuss all non-covered lab fees with you prior to
testing.
For patients who seek a more comprehensive functional medicine evaluation, cash payment based on the length of the visit is required. We will provide you with a detailed superbill after each visit that you may use to submit claims to your insurance company.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please inform the office by phone no less than two full business days prior to your originally scheduled appointment. Excepting emergencies, no-shows or cancellations made less than two full business days prior to your appointment will incur a charge. Please note that appointment changes must be made by phone. If you attempt to send an email to our automated, no-reply scheduling system, we will not receive your message.
“I wanted to spend more time helping patients thrive, not just survive. That desire led me to expand my training into new areas. I earned my board certification in integrative and holistic medicine and have attended numerous conferences on hormone optimization, nutrition, digestion, toxicity, chronic infections, and ageing.”
