FAQs
-
Appointments can be booked through our Healthie EMR which contains a patient portal where availability is limited to ensure the highest level of care.
-

-
Yes! Many of our services and recommended treatments qualify for Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). It is necessary however you know what your HSA/FSA does cover. If your services are not deemed medically necessary by your plan you will be required to pay for such services.
-
Every patient is different, but many start noticing improvements within several weeks of implementing their personalized plan. Long-term, sustainable results require ongoing care and commitment.

We are here to help you feel better and strive to improve your health.
