| New Patients - Phone Consultations
How can I schedule a phone consultation with Dr. Padilla?
Dr. Padilla is able to work with patients one on one in his clinic, or over the phone since the health programs he designs are based on the results of lab tests that can easily be done in your home area. Dr. Padilla creates his health programs based on lab tests that assess the function of the three Pillars of Health: the hormonal/immune, digestive and detoxification system.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Padilla will perform a very comprehensive review of your personal and family health history, and make recommendations for lab tests that are appropriate for your specific health issues.
Once your lab work has been completed, Dr. Padilla will explain the meaning of your test results to you in a follow up consultation. He will also create an individualized health program for you, which will include one or more of the following: diet changes, nutritional supplements, and exercise, lifestyle and stress management advice.
Subsequent visits are scheduled to monitor your progress and to modify your program.
How long is the initial consultation?
Your first consultation will be 45 to 60 minutes. Follow-up consultations are typically 15 or 30 minutes long, but can be longer depending on how many lab tests you have completed, the complexity of your issues, etc.
Fee Schedule:
- 15-minute consultation: $65
- 30-minute consultation: $130
- 45-minute consultation: $195
- 60-minute consultation: $260
Payment is due at time of consultation. Methods of payment are: Personal check (sent in advance) Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover.
