The Well Coast Client Experience
You will be a full and active participant in your care. Expect a thorough diagnostic process requiring several appointments, including but not limited to:
Self-administered questionnaires
Collaborations with primary and specialty care
Lab and genetic testing
Our team’s experience and success has shown that the involvement of your chosen support team will lead to more effective treatment. 
We typically do not provide prescriptions on the first consultation appointment because it is important to gain a clear understanding of your situation and allow time for you to be informed about treatment options presented. Not all cases require medication; we fully embrace alternatives or supplements to medication, such as naturopathic, psychotherapeutic, and interventional modalities.
Most importantly, you will understand your treatment choices and feel confident that you are making informed decisions.
Weekend appointments are available, please call to confirm availability.
