1. Schedule Your In-Person Consultation

Our natural health clinic is world-renown and we see patients from all over the world and book up quickly.

For this reason, be prepared to pre-pay for your initial consultation at the time of scheduling to secure and guarantee an appointment.

2. Get to the Clinic

In order to become a patient, your first appointment with a LifeWorks’ practitioner must be done in person at our clinic in Clearwater, Florida.

This cannot be done by phone, it must be done in-person.

3. Arrive 30 minutes early for your Appointment

The doctor is usually booked back to back with patients who are coming from out of town. If one patient is late, it could set off a chain of events that could make it so that patients later in the day miss their appointments entirely.  If you arrive so late, that even a shorter appointment isn’t a viable option, you will unfortunately forfeit your initial consultation fee and would be required to pay for another appointment.

If you are late for your appointment, you will diminish the amount of time the doctor gets to spend with you and may not receive your full hour appointment. The takeaway: plan to arrive 30 minutes early for your appointment.

4. Plan To Be At Our Clinic For 3.5 Hrs On Your First Appointment

At your first visit you will be at our clinic for 3 to 3½ hours.

This allows sufficient time for your initial paperwork and intake forms, triage to be completed, a one hour appointment with the practitioner, time afterwards to review your program with the service consultant and time for any diagnostic or lab testing, if ordered and desired.

5. What Happens During Your First Visit

You’ll fill out a detailed questionnaire covering your overall health, oral health, diet, exercise, and past medical history. The practitioner will review this to get a comprehensive understanding of your health and identify potential underlying causes of your issues.

Your one-hour visit will include a thorough evaluation, a discussion of your concerns, and identification of underlying problems. The practitioner will explain their findings and suggest treatment options.

Afterward, the Patient Services Coordinator will review the doctor’s program, answer your questions, and help schedule your follow-up visit.

6. You will be receiving your treatments at our outpatient Clearwater, FL facility

After seeing the doctor for your initial consultation, they will develop a treatment program specifically for you that can usually be started immediately. Your treatment program will be administered in our outpatient facility in Clearwater, FL.  

LifeWorks is an Outpatient Facility

We do not offer lodging accommodations, but this won’t be an issue because Clearwater, FL is a popular tourist destination, and plentiful options are available at various prices. You can easily find short-term rentals, Air BnB options, hotels, motels, and rooms for rent. If you need suggestions, speak with one of our helpful patient schedulers. 

7. Getting Well Requires Dedication & Focus

Recovering from a chronic health condition requires realistic expectations, as there are no quick fixes. These conditions often stem from long-standing underlying causes. Commit to making your health a top priority. Many patients realize they’ve neglected their own well-being while caring for others. The most successful recoveries come from those who prioritize their treatment and overcome obstacles to getting well.

We recommend arranging your life to focus on healing. If possible, take a week or two off work to reset, create healthy patterns, and focus on treatments, nutrition, and recovery. If not, try to reduce your schedule for more healing time.

Creating a calm, healing environment is crucial. Adhere to your health program, receive daily treatments, and communicate with your practitioners. Viewing this period as a time to take care of yourself will aid your recovery. If coming from out of town, consider this a valuable vacation dedicated to your well-being.

8. We Do Not Refer Patients to Other Facilities… Here’s Why

For over three decades, we’ve developed unique diagnostic and treatment protocols to address chronic health conditions. The treatment success relies on a precise diagnosis, a specific sequence of treatment steps, and the use of unique cutting-edge therapies administered by highly trained technicians.

We have not see this approach used elsewhere and this is why we don’t refer patients to other facilities.

9. Costs & Length of Treatment Programs

There’s no accurate way to estimate the costs of your healthcare program without seeing the doctor. However we understand patients want to get a sense for what they can expect and when you speak to the New Patient Scheduler they will review with you the cost of the initial consultation with the practitioner and they will give you a sense for the potential costs of testing and diagnostics. Because each patient receives a very individually tailored program for their particular health condition, it is not possible to provide exact costs ahead of your appointment with the doctor.

10. Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy

Rescheduling
To reschedule your appointment without losing your initial consultation fee, you must provide three business days’ notice. Call and speak with a New Patient Scheduler to reschedule, as we do not accept rescheduling via email or website messages.

Cancelling Your Appointment
If you cancel your appointment, the initial consultation fee is non-refundable due to high demand and the value of the doctors’ time.

11. We Do Not Accept Insurance or Medicare

We do not accept insurance or Medicare. Some insurance carriers may cover some of the medical services and lab tests which are ordered for you and we can provide receipts of services performed for you to submit to a third-party biller. Please be aware that many of the proprietary and cutting edge lab tests we perform are not covered by traditional health insurance.

We do however accept Care Credit which is a popular option. You can apply directly here
