1. How is HealthQuest Integrative Medicine different from traditional medicine? Most of the traditional medical world follows ‘general guidelines’ which are often based on older statistics to provide diagnoses and treatments that may work for the majority of people. We at HealthQuest Integrative Medicine utilize specific tests based on your health history and symptoms to determine the root cause and then work with you to develop an individualized plan catered to your personal needs.
2. Do you take insurance? We do not accept Insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid under any circumstance. We do accept cash, check, credit card and some online payment apps.
3. How long will it take to feel better? Although every person's response is unique in their healing journey, we often see improvements in just a few weeks.
4. Do you accept patients of all ages? At this time, based on the fact that some of the testing we use is restricted or prohibited from use by those under 18, we are only able to provide services to patients who are 18 and over.
5. How do I make an appointment? The best way to make an appointment is to utilize our Book Online feature. You can also email us or if you prefer you can call us directly at (530) 602-3099.
