Functional Medicine

For first-time clients seeking functional medicine care, we recommend booking a free phone consultation. The consultation is a good time to get a feel for our practice and give our team time to contemplate your ailment. We may schedule your first appointment on this day or Dr. Fennel may order some lab work for you. These lab results will come to our office; we will call you to make your first appointment when we get them (usually 1-3 weeks depending on the tests).

​

On your first appointment, you will see your doctor for 1 full hour. During this hour, you will discuss the results of your lab work (if applicable) and give further details on your health. This could include aches and pains, trends you've noticed, daily habits, emotional wellbeing, and any other relevant information. This gives you ample time to discuss the particularities for your body and lifestyle, your recent lab work (or compare to old lab work), and any health goals you want to reach. It is a good idea to bring any current supplements or medicines with you, but not required. Treatment may include minerals, herbs, vitamins, diet changes, detoxification, chiropractic adjustments, massages, light therapy, lifestyle changes, or some combination of these. This is completely dependent on the patient and their particular needs.

​

Follow-up appointments will be 30-minutes long, and will continue at an individualized frequency until the issue calms down. Keep close track of your changes and progress.

Check-up appointments are 15-minutes long as needed and can be scheduled regularly and in advance.
