Choosing the right package depends on the level of care you need. We offer three session options to fit different needs: **Gold**, **Platinum**, and **Diamond**. Here's a breakdown to help you decide: 1. **Gold Package** (Least Intensive): - **Ideal for routine check-ups or focused concerns**. - This session is best if you have a specific, limited health concern. - You will spend less time with the doctor, and the session focuses on addressing a single issue or providing general guidance. - **Duration**: Shorter appointment times, typically 90 minutes for the first appointment and 25 minutes for your follow up. 2. **Platinum Package** (Moderate Intensity): - **Ideal for more complex concerns or comprehensive evaluations**. - This session is designed for patients who need a deeper review of their health or have multiple related concerns. - You'll have more time with the doctor, allowing for a broader discussion and follow-up on treatment options or tests. - **Duration**: Moderate appointment times, typically 150 minutes for the first appointment and 50 minutes for your follow up.. 3. **Diamond Package** (Most Intensive): - **Ideal for thorough evaluations, extensive assessments, or complex medical histories**. - If you're seeking a full, in-depth evaluation or have multiple medical concerns that require a detailed discussion and analysis, this is the session for you. For most patients with Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes, Hypermobilty Spectrum Disorders, POTS, and MCAS patients, this level is necessary. - The Diamond session provides the most time with the doctor for a complete and comprehensive review, including additional tests or referrals if necessary. - **Duration**: Longer appointment times, typically 210 minutes for the first appointment and 90 minutes for your follow up. **How to Choose:** - **Gold**: If you need a quick consultation or are just addressing one simple concern. - **Platinum**: If you're experiencing multiple related issues, or need a more thorough evaluation, but don't require a full, exhaustive review. - **Diamond**: If you need a comprehensive, detailed evaluation or have complex health concerns that require in-depth discussion and extensive time with the doctor.

Current patients are evaluated at each visit and prescribed a comprehensive treatment plan which may include medications, supplements, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. Laboratory studies and imaging will be ordered where medically indicated.
