  • What is your typical process for working with a new client?
    During our initial session, we will establish a therapeutic partnership, uncover the challenges you are experiencing or discuss what is not going well. Then, we will discover what goals you want to accomplish and unveil what is preventing you from achieving them. Subsequently, you will know what to do next to move forward.
  • Can I write you with questions between visits?
    If you have a question that requires a yes or no answer, or is clarifying directions from a previous visit and I did not send you instructions via email, please email me for clarification. If you have new concerns, ongoing conditions, or questions that require a detailed response, an appointment will be necessary. This can often be arranged within several days, depending on schedule availability. We will answer messages during business hours and strive to reply promptly. If we are unavailable for any extended reason such as vacation, you will receive an automated reply.
  • What if I am late to my appointment?
    We will wait 15 minutes on the platform for our scheduled appointment. If you arrive in that time, we will get started, but our end time remains as scheduled. For example, if we are scheduled to meet from 1pm-2pm, and you log in to our meeting at 1:10pm, we will have 50 minutes to meet. No partial refunds will be provided, as we will be present the entire scheduled time.
  • How did you get started doing this type of work?
    I struggled personally with everything I offering you one way or another.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their problem?
    You should ask yourself: Am I ready to invest in myself to get the results I'm looking for? Am I really prepared for a transformation, or do I want to get more of what I already have? When you reach out to me...you will be provided an intake form before our first complimentary session. This will allow me to get to know you better, so we can focus our time and attention on helping you on your journey on day one. Of course, all of your information will be kept confidential.
  • When will I see the antidepressants take effect?

  • Why do you recommend medical-grade nutrition supplements when I could get cheaper store-grade over the counter supplements?
    Medical grade supplements are recommended as an adjunct to dietary and lifestyle modification as a service to my clients. This approach is central to the well-researched and science-based practice of functional and integrative medicine. Medical-grade supplements are manufactured at the same standards as pharmaceutical drugs. Medical-grade supplements contains a higher concentration and quality to over-the-counter supplements, which is why they may cost more. Medical-grade supplements have specific guidelines and requirements they must meet. Raw ingredients are tested, toxins are removed, and their bioavailability is vital to be considered medical grade. You are in no way required to use any supplements as part of your treatment plan. Unfortunately, with years of experience reviewing lab work on patients taking a varying quality of supplements available over-the-counter, I can confirm that quality does matter.

  • What is your Cancellation Policy?
    A canceled appointment hurts three people: you, your provider, and another client who could have potentially used your time slot. Providers sessions are scheduled in advance and are a time reserved exclusively for our clients. When a session is canceled without adequate notice, we are unable to fill this time slot by offering it to another current client, a client on the waitlist, or a client with a clinical emergency. *** For FREE Consultations: If you have to cancel or reschedule your session for any reason, please give a 24-hour notice. If you cancel or reschedule within 24 hours of your session you may risk the chances of not being able to reschedule. ***Paid Services*** Clients can cancel or reschedule an appointment anytime if they provide 24 hours’ notice. If you cancel an appointment with less than 24 hours’ notice or fail to show up, you will be charged a $100 fee for the appointment. Some practices have a 48-hour policy. Some even have a 72-hour policy. Ours is 24 hours, and we are firm at 24 hours, for weekday appointments and 48 hours for weekend appointments. You can cancel your appointment by calling, texting, or emailing your specific provider. If you are more than 10 minutes late to your appointment time, it will be treated as a late cancellation. It’s important to remember that insurance will not pay for missed appointments, so you will be responsible for the full $100 fee. The only time we will waive this fee is in the event of serious or contagious illness or extreme weather or other unavoidable circumstance. If you are unsure, please contact our office for further guidance. While it is a time commitment, this is for your personal growth and consistency is key in order to achieve this.
  • Can your office provide documentation that can help with getting insurance reimbursements for consultations and/or test kits?
    Our practice does not process insurance claims. Queens Weight & Wellness is a fee-for-service practice, which means payment is due at the time of service. We accept all major credit/debit cards (including care credit). As a courtesy we can provide patients with an itemized receipt called a superbill, which patients may submit to their insurance carrier for possible reimbursement. The amount of reimbursement received will be dependent on your specific plan. If insurance reimbursement is a concern, we recommend you check with your carrier prior to any laboratory testing. We can provide you with the specific billing codes that correspond to the laboratory testing we plan to run, and your carrier can give you a better idea of what they cover.
