NEW PATIENT – Initial Naturopathic Consultation

All new patients seeking naturopathic care at Ellastone Health begin with an Initial Naturopathic Consultation.

Your first appointment gives us the time to get to know you and understand the bigger picture of your health.

We'll take a detailed look at your current health concerns, personal and family health history, medications and supplements, nutrition, sleep, stress, lifestyle and health goals. Recent bloodwork, imaging and other relevant medical reports can also be reviewed.

For in-person appointments, a physical examination may be performed when clinically appropriate.

We'll discuss your priorities, initial recommendations and whether additional blood work, assessment or follow-up may be helpful.

The goal is for you to leave with a better understanding of your health, clear next steps and a personalized plan for moving forward.

New to Ellastone Health and looking for naturopathic care? This is the appointment to book.

If you are new to Ellastone Health and are seeking acupuncture only, please select the Initial Acupuncture Appointment instead.

Naturopathic Follow-Up

For existing naturopathic patients.

Your follow-up gives us time to review your progress and continue your care.

We'll discuss how you've been feeling, what's working, any changes or new concerns since your last appointment, and make adjustments to your treatment plan where appropriate.

This appointment is ideal for routine follow-ups, focused concerns and ongoing treatment management.

Acupuncture Follow-Up

For patients who have already completed their initial acupuncture assessment.

We'll briefly review how you've been feeling, any changes in your symptoms and your response to previous treatment before beginning your individualized acupuncture session.

Acupuncture may be incorporated into care for concerns such as stress and tension, muscular pain, sleep difficulties, digestive health, menstrual and hormonal concerns, fertility and overall wellbeing.

Please remember that acupuncture appointments are billed and receipted as naturopathic services.

Insurance Coverage

Most extended health insurance plans include coverage for services provided by a registered Naturopathic Doctor (ND) — and you may have benefits available that you're not currently using.

A receipt will be provided after your appointment for you to submit directly to your insurance provider. Please note that we do not offer direct billing or submit insurance claims on your behalf.

Coverage varies between insurance providers and individual plans, so I encourage you to check your extended health benefits and look for “Naturopath” or “Naturopathic Doctor.”

Please note that Ellastone Health cannot guarantee reimbursement by your insurance provider. It is the patient's responsibility to confirm their individual coverage.

Cancellation Policy

Your appointment time is reserved specifically for you.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours' notice.

Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, as well as missed appointments, may be charged the full appointment fee.

This allows the appointment time to be offered to another patient who may be waiting for care.
