Getting Started

You will then receive a comprehensive email outlining the next steps to help you prepare, including access to the patient portal where you will set up your profile. 

Please arrive 10 minutes before your appointment to settle in. I run appointments promptly to respect everyone’s time and planning. 

Your visit is reserved specifically for you and is structured to allow for unhurried, focused care. For this reason, payment is collected in advance.

Prior to your visit, you will be asked to complete an Intake Form along with a Daily Diary detailing your typical habits for at least 5 days (including 3 weekdays and 2 weekend days). This information helps me better understand your day-to-day life before we meet. 

To allow time for review, intake forms are ideally completed 1–2 weeks prior to your visit. 

For your first visit, bring all supplements, vitamins, botanicals, protein powders, and similar products you currently use, including those taken only occasionally. Bringing the actual products in a shopping or tote bag allows for accurate review of dosing and ingredients and helps ensure your plan is tailored safely and effectively.

You will list prescription medications in your intake form; however, you are welcome to bring the medications themselves as well.

Please bring copies of, or have easy access to, any laboratory results or outside records you would like me to review during your visit.

You are welcome to bring a support person to your appointment—we have room at the table. Please note that this should be someone you are comfortable having hear your private medical information. You may also request that your guest step into the waiting room at any point during the visit. 

This practice provides only non-urgent care. If you experience an urgent or emergent medical issue, please seek immediate care through 911 or your local emergency department. 

It’s okay if your intake form feels incomplete or raises new questions — it is a starting point, not a test. You don’t need to have everything figured out before your visit; we’ll take it one step at a time.
