How long are the initial appointments and what are the costs?

​The initial consultation is designed to be a comprehensive discussion and treatment of your health concerns that combines the benefits of Naturopathic and Homeopathic medicine. This initial consultation will be booked into a series of 3 appointments:

1. Our traditional initial Naturopath consultation with a thorough health history, relevant physical exams and the development of short and long-term goals. (60 minutes)
2.  A Homeopathic consultation, where Dr. Pannu will guide you as you discuss your symptoms in great detail. Using a single-remedy approach, this comprehensive consultation style is key to finding the right medicine for you. It is tailored to address your unique experience while addressing all of your main health concerns. You will receive your Comprehensive Treatment Plan that may include specific nutrient prescriptions and lifestyle changes to support healing. (90 minutes)
3.  A short follow up visit, scheduled once your lab results are available, for lab review and your homeopathic prescription.  (20 minutes)​

Finally, Dr. Pannu offers a complimentary 5 minute phone check-in, scheduled after your 20 minute follow up, to answer any questions or concerns that may arise once beginning treatment. With your treatment plan, you will be prescribed a homeopathic medicine specific to your case that typically costs less than $20 per month. The cost of these appointments is $425.00 and they are booked in a series of 3 appointments.

What can I expect when taking a Homeopathic remedy?

• Most often, you will notice improvement quickly as you begin to heal. Some describe feeling better mentally and emotionally before their physical symptoms improve. 
• In some cases, you may get a little worse before you get better. Known as a therapeutic aggravation, your symptoms can increase in intensity for a short period of time and then improve significantly. If this occurs, we will reduce the frequency of each dose. This is a good sign that the medicine is the right one for you as you will find your symptoms will continue to improve over time.
• You may experience a return of old symptoms. For example, a symptom you experienced as a child may return for a short period of time. This is known as a suppressed symptom: a symptom or illness in the past that was not treated appropriately and healed has returned to the surface to be addressed.   
• As homeopathic medicine triggers deeper healing, in some cases you may experience a form of discharge (for example, a rash or diarrhea) for a short period of time. This is the body responding to the medicine by removing old waste. This is another positive sign for the correct remedy choice, in this case we may slow the treatment down so you can move through this process more smoothly. 
• You may experience nothing after starting your homeopathic medicine. In this case, the best remedy for you may not have been selected. Your doctor will ask a few more questions and prescribe another remedy that suits your case better.    

How long will the treatment take to work?

It can vary depending on the type of illness, severity, and how long you have been experiencing your symptoms. Often patients notice an improvement quickly as they begin to heal, while others feel an improvement in mood before their physical symptoms. In chronic disease, homeopathic medicine helps us ‘peel away layers’ as you go from healing surface-level symptoms to healing the underlying illness. Our follow-ups are designed to ensure consistent improvement; if we stray from this, then we will alter treatment accordingly to ensure you feel better.
