Patient Information

Office Visits

Office visits with Dr. V are a time for you to share all of your concerns and to have all of your health needs addressed. Initial office visits are typically 1 1/2-2 hours long and follow up appointments last up to an hour. Of course, with the little ones, time is adjusted accordingly. Follow up appointments are necessary to monitor your progress, make any necessary adjustments to your treatment, and to get you on the right track with your health.

Because Dr. V spends a great deal of time providing her patients with the attention and support they need, she does not take insurance. Proper documentation will be

provided for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

Balances are expected to be paid in full at the time of each visit, including fees for services, cost of supplements and herbs, as well as other applicable fees. It is the patient’s responsibility to know the extent of their insurance and out of network benefits and they are responsible for the cost of their visits.

Cancelling Your Appointment

In the event you need to cancel your scheduled appointment, at least 48 hours notice is required. This allows others patients the ability to be seen sooner and receive care. Appointments that are not canceled on time will be charged for the full office visit. A full office visit charge will also be incurred for any appointments that are missed. Canceling your appointment is easy, please call the office at 203-431-9726.

Communication
