Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, I am accepting patients as part of my concierge program, where each family will have direct access to me for all your questions and concerns. I will provide all the wellness and sick care for your child. I will provide both in person, same day or next day visits, and telemedicine sessions as needed.

At my practice, I want to ensure that each parent and child’s concerns are heard and addressed with care and compassion. I have created a medical model to provide longer sessions, with more time to delve into the root causes of illness and create a path to optimizing wellness. I strive to treat the whole child and not just the symptoms. I acknowledge that each child is unique and may require different treatment modalities. I endeavor to bring balanced Integrative care that incorporates Traditional and Alternative medicine. I have an Integrative Care Team that can provide Herbal, Chiropractic, Nutritional, Acupuncture and Functional Medicine treatments.

No. This is a cash-based pediatric practice and we do not accept insurance. We are considered an out of network provider with insurance companies. A superbill can be provided upon request. I have made this decision because my goal is to provide a high level of care; optimizing wellness, preventing illness, and giving each child the time needed to promote health. Sadly, the insurance-based systems operate counter to these principles and I have elected to opt out. Additionally, the insurance companies control too much of our healthcare and obligate providers to see a high volume of patients, which can decrease the quality of care. In sum, I endeavor to provide your child with the highest quality of Integrative Care without any intervening factors dictating my management or your child’s healthcare.

No. Currently, we are not administering vaccines. We are a cash-based practice and are not able to offer vaccinations. As an Integrative Pediatric practice, we will provide all the necessary education, guidance, and local resources to obtain vaccines. We will also provide consultation for creating personalized vaccine schedules including pre/post-vaccine detoxification and wellness optimization.

Basic labs like Strep, Flu and Urine testing will be offered in the office. For other labs, I have contracted with several companies to enable my patients to use them. I will be offering individualized laboratory services to my patients, and their families, through several cash pay companies with affordable-transparent pricing. My patients will have the blood samples drawn either at a local lab, via mobile phlebotomist (for an extra fee) or in the office. For Advanced Functional Testing, those kits will be sent directly to the home.

Yes, as a Pediatrician I can prescribe all medications when appropriate.

For our established patients or those enrolled in our concierge program, I will try to have you seen either in person or via telemedicine same day or next day.

We require a 24 hour cancellation notice. If there is no notice given and the patient does not show up, there will be a $75 cancellation fee.

We ask that our patients respect our scheduling policies and try to arrive on time for appointments. If a patient arrived more than 15 min late for an appointment, their visit is subject to rescheduling or cancellation. Multiple violations of the late policy are subject to impairment of future scheduling.
