Dr Sarah Strong, ND

Before your initial consultation please gather together any medical records that you think might be relevant to the appointment.  This will help speed up the finalization of your initial treatment plan.  Initial visits are basically done in two parts- the initial portion is the information gathering phase, where we will go over your history, request any previous records that you do not have, and order any additional testing that is needed.  After I have all this information I will sit down and put together a treatment plan that I believe will be best for you based on our extensive conversation.  Part two will be emailed to you and consists of your recommended treatment outline, links to any important supplements, labs, imaging, or other recommendations.  

After your initial visit we will be dealing more with troubleshooting and fine-tuning as you advance.  Inevitably changes need to be made as your situation changes, lab testing will need to be reviewed, and regular check-ins will need to be done in order to maintain ensure optimal benefit in the beginning.  Ideally, I hope to get to the point with each patient where they check in once a year to tell me how well they continue to do.
