CLASSICAL HOMEOPATHY
During your new patient appointment with Dr. Weiss, the option of homeopathic treatment may be discussed. Given that homeopathic medicine places a high value on the importance of individualization of treatment, Dr. Weiss requires at least 90 minutes for a homeopathic workup to determine which remedy best fits the totality of your condition. Although some conditions may have similar general symptoms, often specifics of these conditions differ and may result from different causes. Homeopathy recognizes this and therefore treats illnesses in an individualized way as much as possible. Dr. Weiss may inquire into the personality traits or seemingly less related common complaints of patients in order to get an overall sense of the workings of the patient's body, all of which is inter-connected.

If you know you want homeopathic care from the start, please discuss this in your first appointment with Dr. Weiss. For more information about homeopathy, please click here. Dr. Weiss suggests you write a comprehensive list of your symptoms and what makes them better or worse. For example, does lying down make you feel better? Do you feel worse in the morning? etc. Take some time to think about your symptoms before your appointment. This information will be useful in finding the right homeopathic remedy for you.

CANCELLATION POLICY
In order to hold a new patient appointment, you will be asked to provide us with a valid credit card number and expiration date. We found it necessary to implement this policy due to last minute cancellations and a long wait list of patients in need for an appointment time. Your card will not be billed unless we fail to receive 2 business days (48 hours) notice for a cancellation. We have a 1 business day (24 hours) cancellation policy for established patients.

Please Note: Our office is closed on Fridays. Monday appointments must be cancelled the Wednesday prior to the appointment to avoid cancellation fees.

Initial Homeopathic Consultations require a great deal of Dr Weiss’ time and are more costly up front, but the price of the remedies is relatively inexpensive, compared to the cost of many drugs and supplements, so the initial expense can be partially offset by savings in treatment costs.

Here is a list of what to bring to your first appointment:

1. Completed New Patient Forms.
2. Copies of any recent or relevant labs and/or x-rays, MRI's or test results, etc.
3. Names and telephone number of doctors or specialists you have seen in the last year
(in case Dr. Weiss needs to request your medical records)
4. A list of all of the supplements or medications (including doses) that you are currently taking.

Whether your goal is to reduce or eliminate pain, find an alternative to pharmaceuticals drugs, or improve your quality of life, Dr. Weiss’ integrative approach to health lets you have the best of both worlds - conventional medicine and safe, proven complementary therapies. The partnership you form with Dr.Weiss will empower you to make decisions about your health and well-being. Dr Weiss is happy to work with your primary care physician or specialist to get you on the right track.
