The first step is always an evaluation and accurate assessment. Natural, functional, and integrative medicines are science-based. Not everyone needs the same thing. Whether you’re consulting with Dr. Marie in-person or via Telehealth, the first step involves getting to know you and the unique path that got you here.

Your treatment plan will be based on what has worked for other patients but will be adapted for your individual health. The number of treatments you’ll need depends on your age, the severity of the condition, how long you’ve had it, if you have any complicating conditions, and your environmental and lifestyle factors. In your consultation, Dr. Marie will explain the types and number of treatments necessary to get you to your goal.

When you consult with Dr. Marie, she will explain which of integrative therapies will be best for your condition. Most treatment plans include 3-5 therapies and they are introduced in a staggered manner to build upon and maximize therapeutic response. Dr. Marie has extensive experience evaluating and selecting treatments that will work together synergistically to resolve complex health conditions both quickly and safely.

Dr. Marie has nearly six years of graduate-level, medical education and over a decade of clinical experience both in private practice and at in-patient and outpatient hospital centers. She selects therapies based on her education, clinical experience, and the latest published research, which she also contributes to as a writer, conference speaker, and peer-reviewer. If there’s a specific therapy that’s “off the table” for you (due to needle-phobia or herbal concerns), no worries! We have effective alternatives.

At this time, licensed acupuncturists and doctors of acupuncture and Chinese medicine are not Medicare providers. Payment is required prior to services provided. Our Care Coordinators are happy to supply a Superbill for you to submit to your insurance companies to request reimbursement. Dr. Marie is out-of-network with all health insurance carriers to avoid problem of insurance companies dictating treatment. The clinic does not make any guarantee regarding reimbursements.

Just like your surgical team can’t tell you how much your surgery will cost until AFTER they’ve consulted with you, we can’t know how much treatment you will need until after your consultation with Dr. Marie. We keep our consultation fees low for this very reason - one of our goals is to make it easy to learn about your natural and integrative medicine options.
