Ordering Labs

Cash options are available for those with high deductibles and copays through Sonora Quest and Lab Express, just let the doctor know. Naturopaths often work with specialty labs to further investigate the cause of symptoms. Kits for these labs are dropped shipped to the patient’s home. The kits have everything you need to send the specimen straight to the lab. The results come straight to your doctor and you will then be contacted to schedule a follow up visit to review the labs and come up with a treatment plan…all from the comfort of your home!
Supplement and Prescription Ordering.
Naturopathic physicians use supplements to assist in the body’s natural healing processes. During your follow up visit, the doctor may recommend a few formulas which will be ordered and drop shipped to your home. Prescriptions are called into conventional and compounding pharmacies. Compounding pharmacies offer mail and delivery service for your injectables.
