Primary Care starts with developing a treatment plan.

Your initial visit with our primary care doctor, Dr. B., ensures she understands your needs and how to help you best. Once you fill out your paperwork, she will review it thoroughly.

By the time of your appointment, she will be ready to ask questions to go deeper into your concerns and answer your health-related questions.

This visit is scheduled for 90 minutes to ensure the doctor can give you a physical exam and fully understand your concerns, your story, and the potential roots of your health issues.

At the end of the visit, she may recommend bloodwork, imaging, or other lab work. This extra information will help her know what is happening in your body to cause dysfunction and disease. She will also detail the next steps of your treatment plan so you can move in the direction of resolving your most pressing health goals.

Follow-up visits can range from 20 minutes to a full hour.

The time depends on your needs. Here are some common examples of what the doctor might do during these visits:

• Taking a detailed look at immediate concerns
• Short and long-term goal setting/ coaching
• Creating a treatment plan specific to you (nutritional supplements, dietary recommendations, herbal pills or teas, homeopathics, home-care routines, other therapies, etc.)
• Treatment plan modifications
• Managing most pharmaceutical prescriptions and weaning off as applicable
• Reviewing health and goal progress
• Help you connect to trusted specialists and other practitioners and make referrals as needed.

Interpretation of lab results comes next.

Once the doctor receives your lab results, we will schedule a time for you to come so she can precisely explain what the results mean.

She will review each test result to help you understand what is going right and what part of you might be struggling or imbalanced.

You will leave this short visit with knowledge about your body that you didn’t have before to empower you to make more informed health choices.

Physical exams are an essential component.

Sometimes, it’s obvious and easy to find where the problem is, and sometimes it’s not. Our primary care doctor is well-trained in looking at your body for clues pointing to the location and nature of your issues when they’re not so apparent.

She will do a physical exam at your visit to determine pertinent details about what is going on in your body. Depending on your symptoms, there are many possible exams she might conduct.

She is also well-versed on whether a finding in an exam means that you need emergency or immediate care from the ER, surgery, or some other more pressing therapy.

Your health is in good hands, and if a referral is necessary, she will make sure you are aware and send you to the appropriate place.

Your doctor will review current supplements.

Many patients come into the office using tons of supplements either prescribed by another doctor long ago, self-prescribed, or told they should take it by a well-meaning friend or family member.

Unfortunately, this usually results in confusion about what supplements they need or should be taking and which ones aren’t helping or could worsen a situation.

Using a combination of your symptoms, the answers you give to investigative questions, your current prescriptions, and your body’s responses to the supplements themselves, our primary care physician will be able to determine whether you should continue taking something as beneficial to your health.

Identifying the beneficial and unnecessary supplements helps streamline your cupboard and save you monthly money!

 
**These visits can occur via video unless an in-person physical exam is required. If you are out of state, you can get an exam done with another physician and request results. Provide them to our primary care doctor, and she will use them to support your treatment plan.

Traditional Chinese Acupuncture is useful in many primary care cases.

Acupuncture involves checking the tongue and pulse to understand where the body is at that moment and needling the points that correspond with the symptom picture.

There are so many incredible benefits to getting acupuncture. The needles work to balance and heal the body through the meridians. This leads to decreased pain, a smooth flow of qi (energy) through the physical body, reduction in inflammation, and balances a person’s yin and yang, all of which can reverse disease.

This treatment is widely applicable for almost all health concerns because it is a bodywide, all-encompassing therapy. The needles used are tiny; with the technique we use, in most cases, you’ll barely notice when the needles are inserted. If you are needle-phobic, be sure to let the Doc know! We can use ear seeds (like tiny beads on tape) or acupressure to get similar benefits without the needles.
