4 OPTIONS
We offer a free 20 minute phone call to evaluate your situation and choose one of the options below. Kindly read through the options and take the time to understand our pricing. We ask that patients pay the entire program fee at the initial visit, in order to keep our billing costs down. We have opted out of Medicare and have not signed up with any insurance companies. We provide superbills so that patients with PPOs can submit requests for out-of-network reimbursement.
These choices allow us to practice proper comprehensive functional medicine and take the time to fully evaluate each patient.
When you understand what is offered in our programs, please email to set up a time.

Cognitive program: $4250

PLEASE NOTE: As of October 2018, we have a 2-month wait for new patient appointments for adults. As a practice committed to offering services to patients with serious symptoms, we want to make sure that we optimize available appointments. To this end, we are now instituting a cancellation policy. We ask that you pay $500 towards the cost of your initial appointment. If you cancel with 14 days' notice, (the Monday two weeks before a Tuesday appointment, for example), then we can reimburse you the $500. Patients have to coordinate with family members and organize documents to be ready for initial appointments, so it is very hard for us to fill a new patient appointment with any less lead time.
