How Appointments Work

Free Consult

A complimentary 15-minute meet & greet allows Dr. Berusch to hear a brief summary of your health concerns and goals. She may ask about previous lab testing and treatments you have done. From this call we establish if we are a good fit to collaborate together on your health. This appointment does not establish a doctor-patient relationship.

New Client Visit

In this comprehensive initial visit Dr. Berusch listens to your full story. Dr. Berusch may ask questions relevant to your health history or request additional testing to get a deeper understanding of your health. She may include any of the following approaches: nutritional planning, mindfulness, practices for self-care, lifestyle recommendations, nutraceutical or pharmaceutical medications.

Follow-ups

Follow-up visits are an essential part of restoring health. At these visits you and Dr. Berusch will monitor health symptoms, overall progress, and modify your treatment plan as needed to reach your health goals. We may also implement additional healing tools such as acupuncture, cupping, hydrotherapy, biofeedback, homeopathy, additional lab testing, and more.

Paid visits must be prepaid before the time of the consultation.
Appointments that are unpaid at the time of the consultation will be canceled.
Appointments once set and paid for are non-refundable.
