The initial consultation is mostly a discussion. You will have the opportunity to tell me about all of your current and past health concerns, your family history, and any other details that will help me to understand your condition fully. I will be sure to ask what makes your condition feel better and what worsens your complaints. I will also want to learn about more general things like the time of day you have the most energy and the places where you feel at your best. All of these little details help me to choose the one homeopathic medicine ( of the 4,000 that are available ) that will offer you the greatest cure.

I do not make any diagnoses in my office.  If a medical diagnosis is necessary for the case, I will refer you to a physician or another healthcare provider. If you have already consulted a medical doctor or other health care professional and have records or test results regarding any of your health concerns, please bring them with you. Sometimes these can be very helpful. Although trained in a wide variety of natural and holistic therapies, I specialize in homeopathy. During the initial visit, I typically spend 60-90 minutes with patients so I can learn all the details of the chief complaint as well as any other physical, emotional, or mental issues that may contribute to ill health.  

After the visit, I usually spend several more hours analyzing the information so that I can select the homeopathic medicine that will yield the best results for the case. In some instances, I order the required medicine from a licensed homeopathic pharmacy, which formulates the medicine and sends it directly to the patient’s home. Other times, when it is easier for the patient, they can pick up the medicine at a nearby pharmacy or health food store. Patients whose progress is best monitored via lab tests, CT scan, MRI or X-ray exam will be referred out for such. If patients need the name of a physician or another health care provider who can help to improve the outcome of the case, this will be given as well.
