Welcome to our office! We look forward to becoming your partner in health!

 

During your first visit, Dr. Rehmel will obtain a complete medical history. The key to functional medicine is treating each person as an individual and getting to the root cause of your health concerns. That generally entails a detailed conversation about your current symptoms, health history, family history, diet, lifestyle habits, and more. At that point, Dr. Rehmel will explain potential approaches and recommended laboratory tests for you. This visit will last approximately 90 minutes (consultation and examination) and is intended to be an information and gathering and sharing session. Dr. Rehmel may make some simple recommendations at this time. However, most advice will be deferred until your lab work and other information is thoroughly reviewed.

 

The second visit is generally scheduled 1-4 weeks later (depending on testing ordered). At that time, Dr. Rehmel will also explain your lab results and other findings. This includes possible factors impacting your health, supplement recommendations (vitamins, minerals and herbs), dietary recommendations, and lifestyle changes. Follow up visits are usually scheduled in approximately 4-8 weeks from your second visit to evaluate progress and make adjustments in your personalized health plan.

 

The frequency of visits thereafter depends on your individual health needs. Some, relatively healthy individuals see Dr. Rehmel only once a year for physical exams and annual lab work. Those who have more serious health concerns are seen more often to provide a higher level of support.
