EMPOWERING YOU TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR HEALTH, COMFORT, AND WELL-BEING

Every person has an image of optimal health and well-being. It is our intention to discover this image and help guide you along your unique path of healing by first removing any obstacles to your cure.

Our initial comprehensive patient visit lasts 90 minutes, allowing plenty of time for a complete assessment of your health, history, goals, and brief physical exam. It is our commitment to empower our patients with the knowledge and tools they need to achieve their goals to optimal health. During your follow-up visit we will discuss your individualized treatment options and together we will define a comprehensive wellness plan that you feel excited about incorporating into your day-to-day living.

WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR FIRST VISIT

For your initial comprehensive patient visit, please allow 90 minutes for a complete assessment of your health and history. Lab tests are often performed on the first day to establish a definitive diagnosis and appropriate treatment. If you take supplements, please bring them or a list of the brand and ingredients. If you have had any relevant tests done, such as blood tests, MRIs or X-rays, arrange to bring copies of the reports with you.

WHAT YOU SHOULD BRING WITH YOU

If you take supplements, please bring them or a list of the ingredients. If you have had any relevant tests done, such as blood tests, imaging such as MRIs or X-rays, arrange to bring copies of the reports with you. If you do not have copies, request your doctor’s office fax them to us at (202) 298-5512. Please note, some offices may require your written authorization. Please feel free to call us and confirm that we have received your tests a few days before your visit.

MEDICAL RECORDS RELEASE

You will be given a copy of all of your labs and diagnostic tests that are performed at Indigo Integrative Health Clinic. You are responsible to keep your own health record to give to other health practitioners. It is best to start a binder and keep all of your records in it. Please take your record to any health care provider. Indigo Integrative Health Clinic will not be responsible for faxing and copying your records at a short notice and we may not be able to honor your request. A charge of $50 will apply if we have to fax more than 2 pages.

Please note our company policy for requesting a copy of your lab work or diagnostic tests without discussing your results with your health care practitioner, found on WHAT WE EXPECT FROM OUR PATIENTS (see below). Please request a Lab Release Policy form in advance if your intentions are not to discuss results with practitioner.

FOR CLIENTS WITH CHRONIC DISEASES LIKE CANCER & LYME DISEASE

Chronic disease cases take a long time to review and evaluate than most health concerns. The client usually shows up with a stack of previous medical records and lab results that the doctor is required to read through and evaluate. Chronic diseases don’t happen over night and going through years of history requires both time and effort. Clients deserve undivided time and attention when evaluating their sensitive information, which is why we allot 2.5 to 3 hours for such visits. For such cases, please schedule the appointment- Naturopathic Initial Intensive Evaluation for Chronic Diseases. Chronic disease consultations are $750.
