FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: WHY IT'S WORTH IT Why Choose The Holistic Approach for Women over a Traditional Healthcare Setting? I worked in traditional women health clinics for over 17 years. This included 3 years at a large functional medicine clinic. Often I would see 15-18 patients in a day and have organization owners pressure providers to spend less time with patients and somehow see more patients. Over and over I listened to unsatisfied women say they weren't listened to or taken seriously about their health concerns in traditional settings. In contrast, at the Holistic Approach for Women find: BETTER QUALITY CARE My patients have trusted me and experienced firsthand better quality care. My patients get more personalized time, attention and flexibility than in fast-paced healthcare settings. In contrast, I am thorough spending a full hour at an initial appointment with my patients and genuinely care about the phenomenal real women that I treat. I also spend the extra time outside of face-to-face visits ensuring that lab tests are being ordered and reviewed, custom supplement plans are sent to you for shipment to your door for virtual patients, managing the admin side and more! By integrating functional and conventional care, you don't get just one side of the coin but a Holistic model.  HAPPIER PATIENTS My patients have spoken for themselves that their lives have changed for the better when beginning integrated care with me. I cannot restate the dissatisfaction expressed to me by women who were tired of not being listened to or given real solutions in fast-paced health settings. No more rushed, impersonal, minimizing of real concerns like menopause being reduced to a "normal" process to just get through. MORE EFFECTIVE & NATURAL TREATMENT OPTIONS Because this is an integrated holistic clinic, I offer non-synthetic, natural treatment options with less side-effects that are not covered by insurances such as Bioidentical Hormone Pellet Therapy (HRT) and Custom Supplement Plans.  BIOIDENTICAL HRT This life changing services really works. Read more below. Patients receiving Bioidentical Hormone Pellet Therapy (HRT) should also know that insurance does not cover this life changing service. FUNCTIONAL SUPPLEMENT PLANS Again, a natural and effective treatment option for a vast number of conditions. Patients should also know that insurance does not cover this service. PRESCRIPTION MEDS I can prescribe and refill prescription medications. The medications are typically covered by insurance. ADVANCED LAB TESTING Discovering the root cause of your health concerns requires thorough lab testing. Bonus- this is a service usually covered by insurance!

Why Choose The Holistic Approach for Women over a Traditional Healthcare Setting?

Q: WHAT'S THE PROCESS? HOW DOES IT WORK? See a step-by-step process.

Q: WHAT ARE THE TREATMENT OPTIONS? All treatments implement integrated medicine.

Q: WHAT IS "HOLISTIC" and "INTEGRATED MEDICINE"? We integrate or blend/combine the BEST of functional medicine and conventional medicine to provide the most effective possible care for the WHOLE body of our patients. If a patient prefers more conventional care and another prefers more functional, natural care, then we can accommodate these comfort levels! Ena will guide you through treatment options and recommend what she has found to work best.

Q: WHAT IS "FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE"? Functional Medicine approaches health issues in a more natural way, patient-centered way.  It seeks to answer the question, “Why are you ill?” and discover the ROOT CAUSE of your concerns rather than simply treating the symptoms. Often times patients discover that a symptom is being caused by an unexpected source. For example, a patient may be experiencing anxiety symptoms. Rather than assuming an anxiety disorder, a functional approach searches for possible root causes for anxiety such as blood sugar imbalances, low progesterone, poor gut health, high cortisol, and nutrient deficiencies. At the Holistic Approach for Women we are able to functionally offer comprehensive testing to discover the root cause and non-synthetic, noninvasive treatment options with less side-effects that actually work.

Q: WHAT IS CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE? Also known as Mainstream Medicine and Western Medicine, this model of care primarily treats the patient symptoms and diseases using FDA-approved prescription medications and other interventions that you commonly imagine a medical professional to provide in the United States. Ena worked in conventional medicine for 14+ years and is well-experienced in this respected model of care. Ena can prescribe necessary prescription medications depending on your needs.

Q: DO YOU TAKE MY INSURANCE? The short answer is: not at this time. You can use insurance to pay for lab costs (a huge saving if available) and I can provide you with a Superbill after visits. A Superbill is essentially an insurance-friendly receipt for the services you paid up front for; insurance can potentially reimburse you using this receipt. Many existing patients have already received reimbursement from their insurance plans for services received. The initial visit costs more up front, but follow-up visits are far reduced in price and they aren't happening at a close frequency. In fact, all visits that do not include Bioidentical HRT are currently priced at below market rates for others in the same industry. Patients receiving Bioidentical Hormone Pellet Therapy (HRT) and following custom supplement plans should also know that insurance does not cover this life changing services.  Even without insurance it's still worth it.

Q: WHAT IS BIOIDENTICAL HRT & PELLETS? Bioidentical Hormones are the same chemical structure as the hormones that humans naturally produce. "HRT" is an acronym for Hormone Replacement Therapy. After lab testing determining an imbalance in hormones, you may benefit from bioidentical hormone pellets which are smaller than the size of a tic-tac. They are inserted under the skin near the hip through a small, in-office procedure. Unlike other forms of hormones including pills, injections, and creams, the hormone pellets will create stable levels that do not fluctuate up and down. They are made from yams and stearic acid which is a natural compound made by the body and dissolves as the hormone dissolves. No insurance pays for bio identical hormones. The cost of pellets including the insertion service is $275.
