Frequently Asked Questions

Naturopathic medicine is not routinely covered by insurance in Missouri at this time. All payments for services are due at the time of service. Flex spending and Health Savings Accounts may be used for some prescribed herbs and supplements through our clinic supplement providers. Many clients have reported saving money over time when being cared for by a Naturopathic Doctor. This is accomplished through reduced medication, less time off from work, and prevention of more costly health care problems. 

As a naturopathic doctor, a lot of time is spent with the client, listening carefully to their health concerns and health goals, using physical and laboratory diagnostic techniques to accurately diagnose their condition, and creating an effective and sustainable treatment plan. The first visit is 60 minutes long and the cost is $200. Follow up visits are priced at $50 per 30 minutes.  Lab tests, medications, and supplements are additional fees that vary in cost and are unique to each patient. We do offer some monthly plans that may help lower the cost. Get in touch with us to learn more.

All payments are made in-person (unless other arrangements have been made). All major credit cards and cash are accepted.

You will be charged a cancellation fee of up to the full price of the visit if you cancel less than 24 hours before your appointment or if you are a “no-show.” We hope you understand the reason for this policy—it is because we are reserving a large block of time for your treatment.

Of course! Online consultations are offered for your convenience. Virtually gives us the opportunity to chat about your health needs or concerns no matter where you're at. We understand that traveling isn't always easy or possible. Just keep in mind, that consultations may be limited due to what we can or cannot see online. (Example: That spot you're concerned about on your arm might not come through clearly on the screen versus being able to see it in-person.)

The quick and easy answer is ‘no.’ We're not against cannabis under certain circumstances, but we choose to help our clients by finding the root of the cause instead of using temporary "band-aid" fixes.

We only use herbs from top-quality professional sources. We do not recommend purchasing herbs from just anywhere due to the possibility of receiving contaminated or counterfeit products. 

Yes, we can run all basic blood work, and many specialized tests as well. Blood labs can be drawn up at LabCorp. For our clients paying out of pocket, we use a Lab Co-Op, which gives us access to wholesale costs on labs. We extend these wholesale costs directly to our clients, without marking up the prices dramatically. We can also order imaging and other diagnostic techniques as necessary.

ABSOLUTELY!! Because Naturopathy focuses on the health of the entire body and not the specific disease, our supportive care can provide increased vitality to regain one's health and balance. Naturopathic medicine has the ability to further assist with any condition that is treated with conventional interventions.  We often work in conjunction and receive various referrals from other medical professionals. This is because many conditions that are deemed "untreatable" by other physicians have been dramatically improved with naturopathic therapies.

No. We are not opposed to invasive or suppressive measures when these methods are absolutely necessary. We will make referrals for such treatment when appropriate. We serve as a bridge between conventional and alternative treatments because we are trained to understand drug-herb interactions and when conventional treatments are needed. We work in collaboration and conjunction with many other health professionals in the area in order to provide the best comprehensive care for clients.
