Consultations with Dr. Simpson

Dr. Simpson is uniquely qualified as a health consultant for women. For the past 20 years she has actively collaborated with her patients to promote partnerships devoted to their optimum heath and well-being. Dr. Simpson listens to her patients, applies her knowledge and experience, diagnoses problems, and works with her patients to develop realistic plans for improving their health. Health issues she commonly works with include:
  • Hormone balancing
  • Osteoporosis

  • Digestive disorders
  • Infertility
  • Thyroid disorders
  • Adrenal fatigue
  • Elevated cholesterol and triglycerides

Dr. Simpson appreciates wise use of conventional medicine but has found that all too often medications are offered to patients before sorting out what the underlying problem is. Because Dr. Simpson is well-versed in conventional and alternative treatments , she can help you weigh your options so that you can make the best choices regarding your health concerns.

FAQ’s

Should I order more lab tests before coming in for my first visit?

No, Dr. Simpson, will determine what lab work is indicated after your initial consult.

How many appointments will I need?

In the beginning, one to three visits is enough for most patients to be on the road to a sound recovery. After that, an office visit every 3 to 6 months are recommended.

What is your payment method?

Checks and cash are preferred but credit cards are accepted.

Are there payment plans available?

If you wish you may pay for half your visit and post date an additional check for one month in the future.

Can I call with a quick question?

Only for clarification please. Quite often patients think the question they are asking is a 5-minute question when, in fact, it will take a lot more time in discussion. Please set up a 15 minute phone consult time.

Can I email my questions?

Simple questions for clarification only please. We have found that it is too time consuming to respond by email. Usually, an explanation requires a lengthy response.

Will I have to give up coffee or other foods I like?

Dr. Simpson, realizes that most people cannot make drastic changes; change must happen slowly and with guidance. However, it is important to realize that nutrition and exercise is central to the healing process.
