* We charge a $30 scheduling fee for the free consultation. If you decide to become a patient, we give you credit for the $30. If you don't become a patient, we refund your $30 after your Free Consultation. If you don't show for your free consultation appointment, you forfeit the $30.
Functional Medicine is a personalized systems approach where the Doctor looks at the whole body as one, naturally. Using holistic medicine and alternative medicine the Functional Medicine Doctor gets to the "Root Cause" of your problem not just the symptoms; and, then treats that "Root Cause." It incorporates the use of sophisticated testing from traditional and functional laboratories to aid in finding that "Root Cause." By finding and treating the "Root Cause" we get "Life Changing Results" for our patients. Are you ready to really figure out what's causing your problems and treat that cause? Read on
Here is the way we describe Functional Medicine. Let's say you have "water on the floor"... your symptom. You try to treat it yourself and clean it up. When that doesn't work you go to the doctor and tell him you have "water on the floor." He ask you a couple of questions and says, "Yep., You've got water on the floor." He then writes you a prescription for a mop and tells you to "go to the pharmacy each month and refill your mop and just keep mopping....just keep mopping." After mopping and mopping and mopping you finally get tired of mopping and you say to yourself, "I need another doctor and a different plan." That's when you come to us. We're going to work to get to the "Root Cause" or "underlying cause" of your water on the floor. We're going to look at the roof, and at the pipes in the walls, and the windows, and eventually we find a sink overflowing in the corner. We turn off the water and the floor dries up and you get to quit mopping.
So the question is ... "Are You Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired? Are you tired of mopping your floor?"
At Millar Functional Medicine, healing is based on a partnership between you and your Doctor. It's a process, a journey we take together. Remember, Doctor means teacher, not healer. So our job is to teach you and guide you how to naturally, holistically treat and eliminate your health problems. Remember not every problem can be completely resolved as we all have limitations, But Thank Goodness many of them can completely resolve or at least be made better.
Most patients start with one or two problems they want treated like Hormones or Gut Problems, or Anxiety and see how it goes with Functional Medicine compared to traditional medicine. Over time, we want you to work towards "Optimal Health" where all the body's systems are functioning optimally.
We use a scientific based whole body systems model that empowers patients and Doctors to work together to achieve your highest expression of health or "Optimal Health" by finding and addressing the "Root Cause" or underlying cause of your symptoms, disease or dysfunction.
So the first step is a Free Consultation** Meeting. The Free Consultation Meeting is just that. It's a 30 min meeting with the Doctor for you to tell us what's going on with you and for us to listen to you and see if we can help you.
** We charge a $30 scheduling fee for the free consultation. If you decide to become a patient, we give you credit for the $30. If you don't become a patient, we refund your $30 on the spot. If you don't show for your free consultation appointment you forfeit the $30.
We have to this because we block 30 minutes in our schedule for your appointment; and, if you don't show up then others can not get in to see the doctor.
The intake history and exam normally takes about 3 visits over several weeks. We charge a single flat fee of $300 for the intake no matter how long it takes or how many visits it takes. Instead of rushing to finish the Millar Functional Medicine intake paperwork as fast as possible, we ask that you take your time and really go in-depth into your medical history.
We start at the beginning and build your timeline. The more we know about YOU the better we can advise you on health decisions. During this time, we also get and review your past medical records, past test and past imaging.
Part of the intake is a complete physical exam. You will remain fully clothed during the examination. You can't do a real physical exam from across the room not touching the patient as so many doctors do these days. We don't charge extra for the exam as it's included in your single intake fee.
The Report of Findings Visit cost $200. We want, and we know you want, NO SUPRISES. At this visit the Doctor goes over what we found in our intake visits including your history, examination, testing and review of your past medical records. We then make recommendations for your care going forward. We give you a written report of: 1) What we found, Your "Root Cause" or underlying cause if we've found it or "Our working diagnosis" 2) What test are recommended and their estimated cost. 3) What treatment we recommend for and the estimated cost of treatment. 4) What homeopathic remedies, nutraceuticals, Injections, IV's we recommend and their estimated cost. 5) What supplements we recommend and their estimated cost.
We get your full approval before we start anything. If you chose to go forward with treatment, as most do, then start treatment and schedule future appointments.
It is often normal to feel a little overwhelmed by this process. After all you've been treated with "sick medicine" all your life; and, now you're trying something new, "functional medicine."
For years you went to the doctor and he spend 10 minutes with you (if that) and you had little to no say or input into your treatment. You basically had to take what the doctor gave you without real discussion.
We're different. That's why our normal appointments can run from 20 min to 1 hour, with the regular follow up appointment being 30 min. We love questions and discussion about your health and our test and treatments.
We also want and need a different level of communication. Your treatment is a partnership between you and your functional medicine doctor. We love texting, emailing and phoning patients. We often hear patients say, "I should have done this years ago."
"The Good" is that functional medicine really works. If it didn't patients wouldn't pay for it. We get to the "Root Cause" of your problems and treat that "Root Cause" to the limits of your body.
"The Bad" is that insurance does not cover functional medicine for the most part. There may be some test like blood or urine test that may be covered. If you have an HSA, FSA, or HRA or other employer pre-tax account it may cover your treatment.
"The Ugly" is you have to pay out of your pocket for care. And we get it. Since you're paying out of pocket we have to deliver on the promise to get to your 'Root Cause" and help you fix your problem.
We can proceed at YOUR pace. Remember YOU'RE in charge of YOUR health and healthcare. You can pay for each visit as you go along or you can purchase a package treatment at a substantial discount. Remember, natural healing takes time. It took you a while maybe even years to get into your state of sickness; and, it will take time to reverse the process and heal the body naturally.
