Frequently Asked Questions
-
No, Wellness Plus is a cash-pay practice. I’ve chosen this model because it allows me to practice comprehensive, root-cause medicine without the limitations and red tape imposed by insurance companies. This means longer appointment times, personalized care plans, and the freedom to choose the best tests and treatments for you—not just what insurance allows.
-
Many patients choose to use insurance for prescriptions at commercial pharmacies. However, for lab work, I recommend ordering through my clinic because:
I’ve negotiated bundled lab pricing to help keep your costs lower and predictable.
I have direct access to lab results, avoiding delays or missing reports from outside labs.
It saves time and frustration by avoiding prior authorizations and insurance guesswork.
If you choose to use insurance for medications and a prior authorization is required, I charge a $30 fee to cover the time and paperwork involved. My goal is to keep your care smooth, efficient, and as affordable as possible.
-
That depends on your needs. Wellness Plus focuses on wellness optimization, hormone health, mental clarity, metabolic health, and regenerative medicine. I don’t handle urgent issues, hospital care, or certain chronic disease management that’s better suited for a traditional primary care clinic. Many patients choose to keep a primary care provider for routine screenings and acute care.
-
My memberships are designed to provide ongoing, personalized support. You pay a monthly fee that includes specific lab panels, regular visits, and ongoing communication via a secure patient portal. It’s a way to stay proactive about your health and have me as your partner every step of the way.
-
No. You can absolutely work with me on a single-service basis. I also offer stand-alone services like initial evaluations, mental health visits, hormone consultations, and injection therapies. Memberships simply offer more value for those looking for comprehensive, ongoing care.

-
Yes, if it’s appropriate for your diagnosis and safe for your situation. However, I follow strict guidelines and require in-person evaluations and ongoing monitoring for controlled medications like stimulants. My approach is thorough, personalized, and rooted in your overall health.
-
If you have severe mental health issues, complex chronic illnesses, or conditions that require specialized care outside my scope, I’ll help connect you with trusted specialists. I’m committed to making sure you get the right care—even if it’s not always with me.
-
I believe weight loss isn’t just about calories in and out—it’s about hormones, metabolism, mindset, and sustainable lifestyle change. I offer medically-assisted weight loss options like GLP-1 medications, but I combine these with personalized coaching, lab monitoring, and habit-building strategies to help prevent rebound weight gain.
-
Yes! I specialize in personalized care for both men and women, including hormone optimization, sexual health, metabolic support, and mental clarity.
-
Root-cause medicine means I don’t just treat symptoms—I dig deeper to figure out why you’re feeling unwell. Whether it’s hormones, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, stress, or lifestyle factors, I focus on finding and addressing the true sources of your health challenges.
-
Absolutely. Many of my services can be done virtually, making it easy for you to access care from home. Some services, like controlled substance prescriptions or physical exams, may require an in-person visit.
