Health Care Consultations
How does a phone consultation work?
Because much of the nutritional and lifestyle change recommendations that Dr. Collins makes in his private practice are basically instructional conversations this can be done over the phone. Even if lab tests are needed these can be home-administered tests. These consultations emerged from the Health Care Center which Dr. Collins treats patients in Sonoma County, California. Many patients gained such dramatic results they wanted distant relatives and friends to benefit from the progressive, natural recommendations that Dr. Collins had to give. If you live locally it is strongly recommended that you see Dr. Collins in his office rather than by phone. It is easier to convey all the information needed for a comprehensive addressing of the issues.
If you cannot make it to the office, your initial phone consultation with Dr. Collins will include a review your health information and he will listen to your concerns. He can then make recommendations that are appropriate for your specific health needs. And Dr. Collins will follow your progress on subsequent consultations and progressive modifications to health restoration regimen until you have completed a satisfactory recovery. This sometimes takes weeks or months depending on the severity of the problem and how long it has lasted.
How long is the initial consultation?
Your first consultation will take approximately 30-45 minutes.
What is the fee for a consultation?
Phone consultation fee is $3 per minute. Length of follow-up consultations depends on the time involved and the complexity of your issues.
Payment is due at time of consultation
Methods of payment are: Personal check (sent in advance) Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover.
All consultations are time recorded from the time the appointment begins and will extend until Dr. Collins has completed cha
rting your notes…usually a few more minutes after the discussion.
