What does it cost?
It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It does not say whether its fees include medication, and it does not say whether it accepts insurance. It also does not describe membership terms, cancellation, financing or HSA payment. Ask for every figure before you book.
What should you ask before you book?
Start with who prescribes. The practice does not say which of Dr. Thoring, Dr. Moser or Dr. Valdez provides the hormone therapy, so ask, and ask what credentials that person holds. Ask which medications are used, whether they are brand-name or compounded, and whether the fee covers them. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask whether telehealth is available, which the practice does not say, and whether it accepts insurance.
Its patient resources include a Communication and Prescription Policies document, a Policy Agreement and an Arbitration Agreement. Read them before you book, and ask what the arbitration agreement covers. Nancy Gardner also has her own new patient packet and arbitration agreement, so ask what her role is in your care. If you are considering the testing it lists, ask what the Lyme Test Access Program costs.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a naturopathic practice that combines general and family practice with acupuncture and chiropractic care at one address, and you are willing to call first to learn what a visit costs, who prescribes and what medication would be used. It is a weaker fit if you need prices, medication details or an insurance answer before you commit to anything.
