You can expect your initial visit to last one hour, going through your entire health history, physical exams and a requisition for lab work through your local bloodwork clinic (Lifelabs costs are additional to appointment, but covered by many insurance plans). Patients typically complete any necessary bloodwork and gather any other needed information, before returning to the clinic in 1-2 weeks for a follow-up assessment to discuss their comprehensive treatment plan. After that, most patients follow-up within 1-2 months to assess how their treatment is starting. From there, visit frequently is every 3-6 months until symptoms have resolved, with on-going preventative care done yearly.
