What can I expect from a Naturopathic Visit?
The first office visit is approximately an hour and a half long. During this time an extensive medical history is taken to access many aspects of your health, pertinent physical exams are done and a treatment plan is created. Dr. Sinclair works with her patients to create a health plan that works for them. The plan may include botanical or nutritional supplements, homeopathy, dietary changes, prescription medications such as bio-identical hormones, exercise and / or body-work. Therapy is tailored to each individual patient.
Follow-up visits last between 30 and 60 minutes.
Do you accept insurance?
Unfortunately it is the other way around. Insurance doesn’t cover Naturopathic Medicine in the state of New Hampshire. Other states such as Oregon, Washington and Hawaii have insurance coverage for Naturopaths. These insurance companies began to cover Naturopathic care because the customers (you) demanded that the insurance companies include plans that cover Naturopathic care. If you would like your insurance company to cover Naturopathic care, call them today and let them know what you as there customer would like as part of your health care plan.
How many visits does it usually take until I feel better?
This varies from patient to patient depending on complexity of the case and patient compliance to the treatment plan. The root of doctor docere means to teach. Dr. Sinclair’s goal with her patients is to teach her patients how to find wellness and maintain it. This ultimately leads to less visits to the doctor.
