*Dr. Joy highly recommends having a free 15min phone consultation before your first visit to make sure that working with her feels like the best fit for you.
Initial 75-90min Intake:
Your first visit will be a 75-90min comprehensive new patient visit. This appointment is designed for information gathering and to help me get a better understanding of the symptoms you are experiencing, your health history, lifestyle habits, dietary habits, as well as stressors and stress management.
Based on the information we have gathered about your signs and symptoms specific laboratory work or imaging studies will be ordered. I also try to get patients started on an initial treatment plan based on clinical information provided during the visit.
Comprehensive blood work panel:
After I’ve collected a thorough history in the first visit, a compressive blood work panel is ordered. This is a thorough blood work panel which looks at liver, kidney, immune system, thyroid, iron, lipids, vitamin D, blood sugar, inflammatory markers and more.
Specialized Testing Options:
*Specialized testing is ordered as clinically needed for a separate cost. If we order any specialized testing, we will use another 45min appointment to go over results together.
Functional Stool Testing
Organic Acid Urine Testing
SIBO Breath Testing
Hormone Testing
Adrenal Testing
Chronic Infections
Food Sensitivity Testing
Autoimmune Assessment
And more...
45-60min Return for Initial Assessment and Individualized Treatment:
During the 45-60min follow-up visit, we will review the results of the comprehensive blood work panel. All laboratory results are analyzed from a functional perspective. This means that we assess lab values in a more specific and often times more narrow range. Conventional lab ranges catch only advanced disease states, but functional ranges reveal hidden illnesses and allow you to reverse disease before it is too late.
Based on the information gathered from comprehensive history taking and lab results, the visit will focus on discussing your individualized treatment plan. Treatment plans include initial dietary modifications, mental/emotional/stress management support, and specific vitamins, minerals, herbs or nutrients that are specifically chosen for you. Treatment plans are based on what I believe is best for you from a clinical, medical, and logical perspective.
Continuing Care Return Visits - 30mins:
We will schedule return visits based on your condition and treatment protocol to track your progress and adjust treatments when necessary. My objective is to create a sustainable program for you to not only reverse disease states, but to work towards optimizing your health one step at a time. I see myself as your partner, coach and cheerleader, empowering you to take ownership of your health and live the highest quality life you can.
