The initial consultation is typically 60-75 minutes. During this appointment Dr. Waters will take a full history, review supplements and medication, and discuss current health complaints and symptoms. She will also review any previous blood work, tests and treatment recommendations provided by a client's doctor. At the end of the consultation Dr. Waters will create an initial plan which may include recommendations for additional testing, discuss supplement and nutritional recommendations, goal setting and lifestyle support. After the initial consultation, clients will follow up within 3-4 weeks and then monthly or as needed depending on individual health concerns.
Follow up consultations are typically 30-45 minutes and includes a "check-in" with the client's health progress, review of any additional tests, and an adjustment to health goals as needed. Dr. Waters understands that each client is unique and will address health concerns on an individual basis, and so the need for follow up consultations may vary between clients.
As a coach, she strongly encourages clients to meet at least 1-2 times per month for the first 3 months, and at that point she may adjust frequency of the consultations based on progress and individual needs.
Dr. Waters is happy to use email to make appointments, answer any questions prior to making an appointment, and respond to brief questions pertaining to a client's goal planning. Please reserve any detailed questions for an in-office or phone consultation. If you have more than a few questions please call or email to set up an appointment.
