Doctor Pat's approach
CONSULTATIONS
Introductory Visit
10-minute phone call | Complimentary
Doctor Pat is happy to speak with potential patients prior to scheduling an appointment. This is an opportunity to get to know the doctor and discuss how you might benefit from his services.
Initial Consultation
60 to 90 minutes
The comprehensive first visit covers medical history, current symptoms, future goals, nutrition, medications, supplements, and lifestyle. Doctor Pat gives each patient individualised recommendations. Read about requirements for your First Visit
Follow-Up Visits
30 to 45 minutes
After the initial consultation, patients continue to work with Doctor Pat during follow-up visits that usually last between 30 and 45 minutes. The frequency of subsequent appointments depends on individual health needs and the pace of progress. Once health is restored, a health and wellness plan will be established for “tune-ups.”
Phone Consultations
60- to 90-minute initial consultation
30- to 45-minute follow-up visits
Brief phone consult, 15 minutes (established patients only)
Doctor Pat offers phone consultations to patients who are unable to travel to the Clinic. He also offers brief phone consults to established patients for simple issues that don't require a Clinic visit.
Email and Online Consultation
For issues that don't require an office visit, Doctor Pat offers consultation by email to established patients. There is no charge for quick questions regarding current recommendations. Questions regarding new recommendations, new test results, or new health issues are subject to charge.
Home Visits
60- to 90-minute initial consultation
30- to 45-minute follow-up visits
Home visits are available. Fees are slightly higher to accommodate travel time and expense. Additional expense may apply for greater travel time or distance, which should be arranged when making the appointment.
Payment
Payment is due at the time of service. Some Health Funds offer a rebate for Natural Medicine and prescriptions.
Cancellation Policy
Because Doctor Pat sees only one patient at a time and spends a significant amount of time with each patient, late cancellations and missed appointments may incur a cancellation fee.
