Frequently Asked Questions

• Is a referral necessary to be a patient?
• Providers may refer you to our clinic. However, no referrals are needed to make an appointment with our providers.
• Does my insurance cover your services?
• We are happy to help you check with your insurance company to see if they cover our services and providers. More and more insurance carriers are covering integrative therapies.
• Do you only treat people with cancer?
• We treat anyone. As we are housed in the Cancer Center, many of our patients also have cancer.
• Would you talk with my conventional provider (MD, DO, NP, PA, etc.)?
• Yes! We believe the best care is integrated care where providers communicate freely about how best to help you, the patient. Just let us know what your goals and expectations are.
• Could you treat my cancer without using conventional treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiation?
• With our current level of data, or science, on non-conventional therapies, we don’t have anything (supplement, herb, remedy, therapy, etc.) that has been found to be effective against any cancer by itself as a standalone treatment. In other words, we don’t have the “Silver Bullet” of cure. However, we do have many things with anticancer properties. We like to look at the whole person to see what recommendations we can make with regards to diet, lifestyle and supplements or herbs, in order to help them achieve more optimal health and healing. This involves an individualized approach with every patient receiving customized treatments and recommendations. We like to call it “Silver Buckshot,” and there is much stronger science on these approaches.
• Will you still see me if I choose not to do conventional therapy (surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation)?
• Yes. We can support you however you would like to be supported with whatever your health care choices are.
• What if I need medical care while traveling?
• You’ll have access to your doctor virtually through text, phone, email or video chat. Some states have restrictions on out of state prescriptions being sent which may be a limiting factor.
• Yes. We can support you however you would like to be supported with whatever your health care choices are.
• What is Direct Primary Care (DPC)?
• DPC is a health care delivery model that provides an opportunity for patients and physicians to enter a relationship that puts the patient first. By providing primary care services for a low, flat monthly fee, patients get same-day or next-day in-person or virtual visits without copays. With direct access to the physician, patients can also contact their doctor by phone, text, email or video chat when care is needed. DPC offers unhurried office visits, access to discounts on medications, labs, pathology and imaging without the need for insurance.
