What to Expect

Getting Started

To book an appointment please call the clinic at 416.923.5500 or Michelle directly at 416.436.6411. Prior to your first meeting, we ask that you complete a new patient package including a detailed health questionnaire and bring it with you to the first appointment. We appreciate the time and effort you spend on completing these forms since it is important that Michelle is aware of your current health status, your complete medical history, and which areas of your health you would like to see change in the future. Please complete this form as thoroughly as possible, as your responses will greatly assist in the development of a personalized treatment plan.

The First Visit

We ask that you bring with you the completed new patient package, the actual bottles of any medication / supplements you are currently taking, and, if possible, a copy of your most recent bloodwork. The initial Naturopathic consultation is typically 90 minutes in length (60 minutes for children). During this visit, Michelle will review your health questionnaire, ask detailed questions relevant to your health concerns, run routine urine tests, and perform a complaint-oriented phyiscal exam as indicated. She will make some suggestions as a starting point for your Naturopathic care.

The Second Visit

The second visit usually takes place 2-3 weeks following the initial consultation and is typically 60 minutes in length. During this visit, Michelle will review your concerns, present a comprehensive individualized treatment plan specifically designed to meet your needs and discuss with you the best ways to implement that plan.

Follow-up visits

Follow-up visits are typically 30-45 minutes in length, the timing of which depends on your needs and personalized treatment plan.

Payment & Re-imbursement

The client is responsible for payment of services following treatment. Michelle will provide you with a receipt that includes all the information required by your health insurance company. It is this invoice that you provide to your health insurance company for re-imbursement.

Health Coverage

Most extended health plans provide coverage for 'Naturopathic Medicine'. Check your plan - it is commonly listed under 'Paramedical Services'.
