Phone Consultation

How does a phone consultation work?
Dr. Ross is able to work with patients over the phone because the health programs he designs are based on the results of lab tests that can easily be done in your home area. Dr. Ross bases his health programs on lab tests that assess the function of four basic body systems : hormonal , immune , digestive and detoxification .

During your initial phone consultation Dr. Ross will review your personal and family health history, and make recommendations for lab tests that are appropriate for your specific health issues.

Once your lab work has been completed, Dr. Ross will explain the meaning of your test results to you in a follow up consultation. He will also create an individualized health program for you, which will include one or more of the following: diet changes, nutritional supplements, and exercise, lifestyle and stress management advice.

Subsequent visits are scheduled to monitor your progress and to modify your program.

How long is the initial consultation?
Your first consultation will be 45 to 60 minutes.

What is the fee for a consultation?
The fee for your initial, 45 to 60 minute consultation is $195. Follow-up consultations are typically 15 or 30 minutes long, but can be longer depending on how many lab tests you have done, the complexity of your issues, etc.

Fee Schedule:
15-minute consultation: $65
30-minute consultation: $130
45-minute consultation: $195
60-minute consultation: $260
