What to Expect On Your First Visit With Dr. Marcantel

When was the last time you actually enjoyed a visit to a doctor's office? Choosing a new doctor can be stressful for many people. Our goal is to make this a pleasant and relaxing experience for you. Arrive a bit early so you can enjoy the soothing atmosphere of our patient reception room (if you'd like a sneak peak, take a look at some photos of our offices). We know your time is valuable, so you won't be waiting long--you'll be seen on time for your appointment.

If your appointment with Dr. Marcantel is your first visit to a naturopathic physician, you may be in for a pleasant surprise. The object is NOT to get you in and out of the office as quickly as possible. After covering your admission forms and medical history, Dr. Marcantel will do a physical exam. She then will want to actually get to know you as a patient, and that involves taking time to talk through the specific complaint you have and then discussing pertinent areas of your life that may be relevant to your complaint. This includes what sort of diet or exercise routine you may be on, sources of stress that could be affecting your health, and numerous other possible areas.

The first visit typically lasts one hour.

After your initial intake visit, Dr. Marcantel will develop a protocol specifically designed for your needs. This may include a personalized diet plan, recommended dietary supplements, specific lifestyle changes, lab tests, changes in medication (coordinated with your primary care physician, if necessary), stress management counseling, and continuing education on your disease process.

Financial Policy:

Payment for services are due at the time services are rendered, including payment for products and labs ordered by Dr. Marcantel. We accept cash, personal checks, Visa, MasterCard, American Express and debit cards.

Dr. Marcantel is considered an out-of-network physician and is not contracted with any insurance companies. Medicare does not cover most naturopathic services at this time.

Naturopathic physicians may be covered by some PPO plans, and we encourage you to check with your insurance company to determine if naturopathic care is a benefit. Many plans will reimburse subscribers for seeing out-of-network providers who are licensed physicians.

If you would like to submit a claim to your insurance company for reimbursement a superbill providing a summary of the services rendered, with diagnoses and charges applied, will be provided to you.
