自然醫學諮詢是怎麼樣子的呢?

不只是醫生的時間寶貴,我們也尊重每一位病人的時間.期望您可以準時來看診, 醫生也將盡可能不讓您久候. 若因故無法準時赴約也請提前通知我們。首次看診是最為重要的, 醫師需要詳細詢問目前和過去病史,了解您的飲食習慣和生活作息,檢視您的整體健康狀況以及服用的藥物和健康食品,若有需要將會開單子讓您做進一步的理學檢查, 所以通常需要45分鐘至1小時. 醫師在首診末了將會與您討論您的健康狀況以及治療計畫.往後的複診時間通常需要15-20分鐘。

診所時間

What Can You Expect During Your Visit?

As a patient of the clinic, you can expect minimal waiting time and individualized health care services. We believe that every patient’s time is as valuable as the doctor’s, thus we normally do not book more than one patient in the same time slot.

We also ask our patients to respect the doctor’s schedule and other patients’ appointments by being on time and informing us if they are going to be late or cannot make the appointment.

The initial visit is the most important visit and it often takes 1 to 1 ½ hours to complete. Please note that we will have to take a full history of your current condition, know your past medical history, understand your diet and lifestyle, review rest of your body systems, go over your current medications and supplementations, and perform physical exams if indicated.

At the end of your first visit, your doctor will discuss your condition and overall treatment plan with you. Follow-up visits are usually between 15 – 30 minutes.
