Root cause medicine is highly dependent on honesty, commitment, and patience. Although most patients experience positive results with root cause medicine, no guarantees can be assured regarding the outcomes of nutritional protocols, dietary changes, or lifestyle modifications.
Medical records can only be released with your authorization. It is your responsibility to obtain previous medical records from other physicians or health care providers that you want me to review. Please contact your physician or other health care provider to obtain these records and make sure that I have received them at least 14 days prior to your initial appointment. Your medical records can be mailed or faxed to my office at 954-417-6105 or uploaded directly to your patient portal if you are a registered patient.
We strive to provide patients with superb care and hope to prevent or reduce hospitalizations and specialty referrals. In those circumstances, we will certainly continue to serve you, however, we do not have hospital privileges and do not act as an emergency physician or primary care physician.
We use specialty laboratories for most testing, but we also use Quest or Labcorp for more conventional testing (only for patients with PPO plans). For patients without insurance or HMO plans, several fee for service lab options are available.
During your consultation, we will determine which tests are needed and then review the testing recommendations, the instructions and cost. Some testing can be performed at home with test kits to collect urine, saliva or stool samples. Others may require a blood draw at a specific time of day.
We can draw blood at the office. There is a lab processing fee of $45.
