At The Gainesville Holistic Health Center, healing is based on a partnership and a process. To find and treat the root causes of your illness, you will have to work hard and so will we.

​

It is important for us to know as much as we can about you in order to take the best approach and to treat the Whole-“U”.

 

That said, if you have any blood results (averaging for the past 3-6 years), imaging (X-Ray, MRI, CT scan or others), other genetic testing or others type of tests/diagnosis/results we would greatly appreciate it if you would send them to us 3-7 days prior to your appointment so we can review the information and have a better understanding of your current or past situation. We want to spend our time wisely with you during your first encounter with our practitioner(s).

 

 

We also strongly recommend a free consultation with Dr. Stéphane Provencher, owner and brain behind the whole-listic approach, to make sure your needs and goals will be met at our center. All of our other practitioners also offer a free 20 minute consultation for YOU to see if our vision matches yours – because YOU are important!

Patient Doctor/Practitioner Relationship

In order to get the most out of your consultation, you must be open and honest about any symptoms you are experiencing, medications you are taking, health history and lifestyle choices. This information helps our doctors provide you with the best care you need. Please be assured that all information you provide is confidential.

Your First Visit

For your initial visit with your integrative medicine physician or practitioner, plan on spending 75 minutes.

​

We also offer a 20 minute FREE CONSULTATION to allow your questions to be answered prior to starting your journey with us.

​

During the consultation, your doctor/practitioner will review all of your medical records and discuss any previous diagnoses, treatments and medications you currently take. All of the information on the intake forms will be discussed in great detail and diagnostic testing may be ordered to help identify the root cause of your condition. Then, the doctor will develop an individualized treatment plan based on the findings.

​

A significant portion of your visit will consist of patient education. Your practitioner will address and answer all of your health questions. At Gainesville Holistic Health Center, we believe it is important for you to understand your body and your health. We spend time making sure you understand your medical conditions and the importance of finding the root cause of the condition.

​

At GHHC, we are passionate about preventing illness and optimizing your health. Our dedication shows through caring physicians who take the time to ensure that each of your concerns is addressed. We work in conjunction with you to help you achieve your optimal health. Throughout your healing journey, we strive to support you by offering quiet attention-focused healing of the body, mind, emotion and spirit.

Labs

At GHHC we do not offer a lab testing however our integrative medicine physician might order conventional labs to state of the art functional medicine testing. Please read below about the different types of lab testing we offer.

​​

Conventional Lab Testing

​

Conventional labs are those that you are likely already familiar with. These are the labs such as thyroid testing, vitamin D and cholesterol, to name a few. There are two ways of paying for conventional lab testing:

​

Conventional Lab Testing Option 1: Submit through your Insurance

We have a partnership with LabCorp or the HeathCote Hospital.  If you live in Gainesville VA and have good insurance coverage, we recommend allowing to either one to submit these tests through your insurance. This means that GHHC will not collect payment for these tests. We recommend calling your insurance provider prior to your initial appointment.

​

Conventional Lab Testing Option 2: Prepay to GHHC

GHHC’s partnership with Professional CO-OP, a LabCorp partner, allows us to get labs at a very discounted rate and we pass this discount on to you. If you have minimal insurance coverage, a high deductible or live out of state, we recommend this option. GHHC will collect payment for these labs and because of the highly discounted rate you may not file for reimbursement with your insurance provider.

​

Functional Medicine Lab Testing

Our practice uses high-quality, cutting-edge functional lab tests in order to get the most accurate information about how your body is working and to uncover the root cause of your illness. These tests may or may not be covered by your insurance company and therefore we have you pay our office for the labs and we pay the lab company directly on your behalf. You may also use funds from a Health Savings Account (HSA) to cover the costs of these tests.
