NEW PATIENTS
WHAT TO EXPECT
A functional medicine consultation takes place in two appointments. During the first appointment, Dr. Penick will review your medical history and additional health information such as your diet, level of activity, sleep and sources of stress, etc. This information will allow him to get a picture of factors in your life that affect your health and well-being. He may recommend dietary changes and/or supplements as a first step to your healing journey. There will be a focused physical or virtual exam and ordered laboratory tests to evaluate your health thoroughly. This first appointment may take an hour or more.
During the shorter second appointment, Dr. Penick will review the results of any labs or testing and provide recommendations for improving your health. These may include dietary changes, exercise, herbals, and/or supplements. Dr. Penick will send a copy of your treatment recommendations after your consultation.
