What to Expect on your First Visit to our Center

The complex nature of your individual diagnosis requires a comprehensive outlook on your treatment options.

Central to our philosophy of patient care is the fundamental knowledge of who you are, not merely what you have been diagnosed with. To help us understand your needs and to personally design a complete medical care program, we ask that you take the time to answer a detailed questionnaire before you arrive.

The personal dietary and medical information you provide enables us to begin designing a specialized treatment program tailored to your individual physical, lifestyle, and emotional needs even before you arrive.

Your first visit will be extensive. Because we see you as a complex individual with unique and important needs, concerns, and questions, we begin with a thorough medical history and physical, followed by an extensive consultation with one of our physicians.

While you are here, you will meet with one of our dietitians for a complete nutritional assessment and Phase I of your dietary strategy. In addition, sessions with our complementary care specialists in mind-body stress care, physical conditioning and bodywork are strongly encouraged.

We believe emotional and psychological support are central components to whole health. We encourage and invite you to bring loved ones to share in the discussion of any concerns and questions you may have. To ensure that all aspects of your care are addressed, we will not rush you. As a result, please allow a minimum of half a day at our center.
