FAQ’s

The first step in beginning care with us is our New Patient Assessment, a 90-minute in-depth session focused on understanding your health concerns. This helps us create a tailored plan to identify the root cause of your issues. The plan may involve lab testing, referrals, or actionable steps you can take right away to start achieving your health goals. Following the New Patient Assessment, you will have a lab review appointment where we will work together to develop your comprehensive healing plan.

Please note that if you are located outside of Minnesota, you will need to either visit our office in person for appointments or be able to join virtually from within the state. If this isn’t possible for you, please let us know.
