How Do Virtual Visits Work?
Once You Book Your Initial Assessment
You’ll receive an email confirmation with a link to complete the initial forms. It is imperative you complete these forms at least 3 days prior to your visit. It will take approximately 45 minutes to complete, but this information will help me get to the root of your concerns.
Your Initial Assessment
Health is a journey and the initial plan is just the beginning. Throughout our work together, you will be tracking various symptoms and progress. We will also discuss various lab testing, where needed, to better diagnose the root cause as well as track internal changes.
You can’t change something you can’t see. Tracking is essential to get a true understanding of how your health is changing and responding to treatments.
Patient resources in the Patient Portal will be made available to coach you between visits.
Initial Treatment Plan In Your Portal
You can find your detailed and strategic initial treatment plan in the secure online medical portal called Jane App. Links to videos, podcasts and traking tools will also be there to increase your success through this health journey.
My Expectations of You
○ You take an active role in your health.
○ Tracking symptoms, noting your menstrual cycle, listening to what foods are helpful (or harmful) to you.
○ You make space and time for healing.
○ Just meeting with me is not going to solve all your concerns and optimize your performance.
○ In between sessions you must schedule time to work on your treatment plan and goals. This is where the magic happens!
Your Expectations of Me
○ I’m going to listen, ask questions and seek clarity on your health and goals.
○ I’m here to support you in the health journey in ways I know how. If I don’t then I’ll refer or share resources of how/who can better assist you.
○ I will ensure proper communication of appointments, billings, lab information, treatment plans in a clear and timely fashion.
I am NOT the best fit for you IF….
- You are not willing to change your current habits – food, sleep, relaxation, self-care, etc
- You are not willing to keep an open mind
- You are unwilling to add physical movement or activity to your life
What you need to do BEFORE the INITIAL visit
• Complete the forms
