WHAT IS A “CHECK UNDER THE HOOD” CONSULT?
We find patients commonly believe they are “healthy”…until they discover they are not! There is truly no way to know if you have underlying health concerns without a thorough analysis of your bloodwork.
CONSULT FEES:
- “Check Under the Hood” Initial Consult (45 Minutes): $150
- Basic follow up consults (75 Minutes): $170
During this initial consult, you will spend time establishing care based on recent lab work. This allows us to provide more specialized suggestions. Dr. Patrick will review and assess those results with our Optimal Terrain reference ranges*. He can then determine what support you may need to correct your health issues or prevent any future concerns.
The main differences between this consult and our General Initial Consult is the following:
- This consult is half the time, 45 minutes instead of 90 minutes
- This consult is half the cost, $150 instead of $275
- The main focus of this consult is to review recent lab work rather than medical/life history and symptoms
- Recent labs are required for this consult
- Only abbreviated intake forms are required prior to the consult rather than extensive intake forms
Similar to our full initial consult, patients will be provided with a comprehensive plan of the necessary lifestyle changes, herbal remedies, nutritional supplements, and/or homeopathics needed for positive changes.
OPTIMAL TERRAIN REFERENCE RANGES*
A lab work review with our Optimal Terrain reference ranges and attention to physiology and patterns of dysfunction gives us a more thorough picture than what the typical lab ranges and assessments reveal. Unlike the lab reference ranges that differ with varying labs, the terrain-centric, optimized ranges are universal regardless of gender, ethnicity, and location, displaying what bloodwork would look like in optimal health.
By utilizing the terrain reference ranges, our providers are able to identify the patterns of “diseased terrain” before a disease process sets in and work with patients to correct these patterns by addressing the root causes seen through their bloodwork and health history. In this capacity, we are able to work proactively rather than reactively and provide truly prevention-based health care.
THE REQUIRED LAB WORK
Lab work is a requirement for this initial consult. If you have recent lab work, within the last 6 months, Dr. Patrick can review this at your consult. After scheduling, be sure to share a copy of these results with our office.
If you do NOT have recent lab work from the past 6 months:
- Choose from the below out-of-pocket discounted lab panels based on your budget and primary health concerns
- Request a consultation by filling out this form. You will be contacted by our office within 1 business day.
- Once you get a phone call from our Patient Support Specialist, tell them the lab panel you would like to purchase. They will email you a cart to finalize payment with our out-of-pocket lab partner, Evexia.
- Once you purchase the panel, print the requisition and bring it to a local LabCorp facility to have drawn 7-10 days before your scheduled consult.
