Why do I need 3 intake appointments?

After 15 years of practice in Ontario and serving over 10,000 people, we know a few things for sure.

1. Health doesn't happen overnight.

You didn't get to where you are in one day. You won't be healed in 1 hour! We know this makes sense when we read it out loud, but many people try a "taste test" approach with their integrative medicine care. We are not willing to compromise what we do, or leave you feeling disappointed in your results. You won't be better after one hour, but we can start you on a significant path to get you feeling more like yourself.

1. Health change takes accountability

One of the greatest challenges facing health care is the lack of behaviour change and support built into medical care. We send patients home with instructions to "change their diet" or "exercise more" but without the tools and support to get there. By your third visit you will have been able to troubleshoot your challenges, create a success plan, tweak your recommendations and see some progress. The research on chronic disease, metabolism and improving symptoms all has behaviour change included - and yet this isn't how we practice medicine in Ontario at all.

Sometimes people are looking for a quick fix, a 1-and-done or a silver bullet approach. That's just not what we do. We are in the business of long term sustainable health change to truly change your life. 3 visits is our signature approach. You'll be happy you committed when you're finally ready. It ensures your long term success.
