*Phone/Skype consultations are available upon request.
I offer phone support (by same-day appointment if needed), or email support (through our patient portal) for the 4 weeks following your initial visit.
Insurances are not accepted. However we offer a sliding scale. Fees (sliding scale $75-$150) are due at the time of appointment.
Depending on your unique situation, one or more follow-up in-home visits may be recommended.
All services are for members only.
