How to Become a Patient?

Congratulations on choosing alternative medicine/integrative medicine as your natural, most reliable path to good health. We think you will be satisfied with the results and the genuine, down-to-earth approach we take with our patients. Please plan at least an hour for your first visit.

• First time appointments must be in person. 
• All new and established patients are expected to schedule in person follow-up appointments to discuss the progress of their treatment plan.  Phone calls and emails are not a substitute for this.  Please refrain from emailing questions.
• Annual in person appointments are required for prescriptions and some RX require an appt every 6 months.
• Our medical office is a scent and fragrance free building.

  You may be asked to leave and reschedule your appointment if you or your clothing has odors from perfumes, scented soap, laundry detergent, fabric softeners, skin creams, hair sprays, etc. Many of our patients are chemically sensitive and will feel sick and have to leave due to such odors. We recommend using fragrance-free laundry products on a regular basis and especially before your appointment.

  Note that laundry and fabric softener fragrance is engineered to stick to the clothing and may NOT be able to be washed off. Individuals with fragrance sensitivity are protected by Federal Law and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Note that natural essential oils (not perfumes) are allowed but note that many 'natural' products may still contain synthetic scents.

• Our medical office is a smoke free building. Act 27 of 2008, The Clean Indoor Air Act (CIAA) regulates smoking in public places and workplaces across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  Beginning September 11, 2008, smoking is not allowed in public places or workplaces including medical offices.  Please do not smoke before your appointment and ensure your clothing is smoke free to protect our sensitive patients.  You may be asked to leave and reschedule your appointment if you or your clothing has tobacco odors. 
• Emails pertaining to the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions will not be addressed outside an office appointment.  
• Diagnosis and treatment of medical issues cannot be addressed via email or messages and questions left with scheduling staff.
