About me

For Incoming New Patients who need more comprehensive functional medicine advice and services, your initial visit will be approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. You will undergo the following:
I provide an intake questionnaire called the Maestro Systems Survey. This is famous and very useful wellness and functional medicine survey that has been used in the natural medicine field for decades. It is now online and is privacy protected. It consists of approximately 200 multiple choice questions that deal with functional stress in different systems in the body. I find this invaluable in my practice. It also supplies you with a very educational report of findings.
A comprehensive consultation and review of the required information that you must provide (see below).
An AO Scan provides a 29- page report (we will email but not go over in the entirety).
A Zyto electro-dermal scan providing an educational report.
A Heart Rate Variability (HRV) test, which we will go over fully.
After all of this, an initial plan is established to begin your journey.
