New Patients - what to expect
Whether this is your first time seeking natural treatment, or if you have already been already on the natural path, now is the best time to get started. VIRTUAL & IN-PERSON APPOINTMENTS.
VIRTUAL VISITS: I offer virtual appointments which give flexibility for people without compromising on care. Most patients like it and this is how it works. Once you book an appointment, we send you online intake forms to fill before the visit and a link for secure video for the visit. An initial visit is detailed so we spend a lot of time getting to you know and to understand your health concerns from a broader context. In this visit, through discussion and specific questions, Dr. Leena can help you identify areas of imbalance and your Ayurvedic constitution.
Aspects of the physical exam that can be done virtually: Tongue assessment, dosha assessment based on physical characteristics, skin, hair, nail exam. In some cases, you may be suggested to send a photo for further details (ie. skin issues, hair loss etc).
What can’t be done in a virtual visit: specific physical exam such as blood pressure, temperature, pulse, neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory physical exam or detailed skin exam. If you have a specific concern that you need addressed, please book an in-person appointment.
InitiaL Visit (80 min.)
The initial visit integrates both naturopathic & Ayurvedic assessments as well as a focused physical exam. You get to tell your story and your health goals. Dr. Sripada gets to put the puzzle pieces together and start you off with a treatment plan to help you achieve your health goals. This is suitable for individuals with current health concerns as well as healthy individuals looking to maintain health.
* Once you book, an online questionnaire will be emailed to you*
Follow-Up visits
(15/30/45/60 Min.)
These appointments are designed to check in on how you are doing, any challenges or changes you are experiencing, and help re-evaluate your treatment plan. You may be required to complete any relevant questionnaires, labs, physical exam and other assessment tools to further customize your treatment. Based on your health goals, different duration of treatment may be required.
Acute visits for coughs, colds, sprains & strains are available (15-30 min visits).
General maintenance visits are suggested every change of season to customize your plan based on the time of year.
