Please note that as of October 11, 2024, I will be closing my practice to new patients for the time being.

If you are a new patient who scheduled an appointment before October 11, 2024, your appointment will still be honored, regardless of its date. I want to assure you that I will continue to provide the best possible care for all my patients, whether you are an existing patient or have an appointment already scheduled.

Register in the patient portal and request a 60-minute appointment of your choosing. All new patient visits are 60-minutes whether telephone, telehealth, or in-person. Then, click on the “Questionnaires” tab and complete the questionnaires applicable to you.

Head to my directions page to see how to get to Whole Woman Health in Newcastle & Brunswick.

The best way is to message me through the patient portal. This ensures your privacy. You are also welcome to leave a voice mail which is checked three times a week. If you have an issue or question that demands more than a quick answer, I’ll ask you to come in or to schedule an appointment.

Complete the online forms. If you expect to have a pelvic exam/Pap smear, please don’t put anything in your vagina (intercourse, medications, etc.) for at least 24 hours before your visit. Try to schedule your visit for a day when you don’t expect to be menstruating.

As a courtesy to all patients, I work hard to run on time. Please arrive promptly for your appointment. If you know you’re going to be late, call so we can discuss whether you should reschedule or just plan on a shorter visit (sometimes we can make this work, but sometimes we can’t). If you reschedule, you may still be held responsible for the visit fee.

Please provide 48 hours of notification if you need to cancel an appointment. If you miss a visit without notification, you will be charged in full for your visit.

If it’s after hours, feel free to message me through the portal or leave a telephone message.

If you are having what you believe is a true medical emergency, please call 911 or go to the Emergency Room of your nearest hospital.

I am not currently keeping a cancellation list. Feel free to check the patient portal periodically for openings. The schedule changes frequently.

I am an expert in using nutrition and lifestyle methods to treat many health problems, although I can and do prescribe medications as appropriate.

I encourage you to develop a relationship with a primary care provider for things that require medical treatment. This would include chronic illnesses you take prescription medicine for, rashes/sore throats/flu symptoms, immunizations, and other issues of a general medical nature. Think about Whole Woman Health and your primary care provider as your team of health care practitioners.

I bill directly to Community Health Options only. Otherwise, by request, I can provide you with a receipt that has diagnostic and procedure codes you can use to submit to your insurance company directly for reimbursement.

If you have Medicare, please be sure to sign the Medicare opt-out. This is required by the federal government.

If you are a Medicare patient, please sign a Medicare Private Contract prior to your first visit. You will get a copy for your files. Unfortunately, Medicare will not reimburse you for our professional service fees. I can, however, order labs and have them reimbursed for people with Medicare.

It is recommended that you be seen once a year in person.

Please either upload your prior two years of pertinent medical records or have them faxed to (207) 563-7003.
