FAQ

What about other lab tests?
  • If needed, your doctor will order additional lab tests, including blood, saliva, urine, stool, or hair samples. All blood tests must be drawn at a LabCorp facility, while other tests can be taken at home and mailed to the appropriate lab. Our doctors receive most test results 7-10 days from the mailing date. Blood test results are typically returned more quickly.
  • In order to allow sufficient time for test results to come back to our office, your follow-up appointment may be scheduled several weeks after the time you mail your samples.
 
Do you bill insurance?
  • Most insurance companies do not cover the cost of the supplements and nutritional consulting we provide. Dr. Nelson is not a dietitian or conventionally certified nutritionist and as such, her services are not covered.
 
What is the fee for my initial consultation?
  • The fee for your initial consultation is $250 for one hour. The length of follow-up appointments is based on the number of lab tests to review and the complexity of your health care issues.
 
Do phone consultations really work?
  • Yes! Dr. Lizie speaks with patients all over the country. After reviewing your initial paperwork or reviewing your most recent nutritional protocol, Dr. Lizie will discuss with you the issues of greatest concern and make appropriate recommendations based on your own unique health-related goals. She may recommend additional testing or other therapies such as massage, acupuncture or chiropractic care, but will discuss that with you during your call.

What kind of supplements do you use?
  • Our supplements are food-based and of a very high quality. These are only available from a licensed healthcare professional. Dr. Lizie emphasizes using foods to heal the body along with herbs and other specific nutrients which will begin to support and restore optimal health. In order to achieve the best results, it is important that you follow your customized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations.
 
How long is the initial consultation?
  • Dr. Lizie will review all of your initial paperwork prior to your appointment. Once you arrive, your appointment with Dr. Lizie will last approximately 60-90 minutes.
 
Can I continue to take the supplements I am already using?
  • Dr. Lizie has had extensive training in the use of high-quality nutritional supplements and herbs and uses her knowledge to help create the best protocol possible based on your health concerns. Regular medical doctors who don’t specialize in natural therapies will often discourage the use of supplements, not realizing that the right combination can actually provide significant improvement in your overall health.
  • By understanding how the body works, Dr. Lizie will use high-quality nutrients and pharmaceutical-grade herbal combinations to create a streamlined, unique and specifically-tailored protocol to address your unique concerns. The over-the-counter supplements you may already be taking are most likely a indiscriminate approach, attempting to fix everything at once. With our practice members, Dr. Lizie is very specific and focused with her protocols and choice of nutritional supplementation in order to provide you with the best results.
 
How do I get started?
  • You can call our office at (978) 846-1964 to schedule your appointment. We will send an email with attached documents you will need to complete and return at least 2 days prior to your appointment. If you do not have email, we will gladly send you a hard copy by mail.
 
What are the costs for any other tests I might need?
  • We recognize that additional lab testing can become expensive. Dr. Lizie works very hard to ensure that these tests do not become a financial burden but instead, tries to space out over time any additional tests needed. Our average lab tests range in price from $75 - $500. During your appointment, she will discuss the need for any additional testing and will make sure that you are comfortable with the additional costs involved to obtain them.
