The 2-Stage Consultation:

An Initial Comprehensive Consultation and Follow-up Review

The process begins with a two-stage consult. The first appointment involves a comprehensive consultation, while the second appointment, the follow-up consult review, serves to provide the initial recommendations.

The Initial Comprehensive Consultation will:

  • Includes a review of your prior oncology records, pathology results, labs, imaging, genetic testing, molecular studies, and all treatments to date, and any previous functional medicine labs if applicable. You are responsible for supplying all records that you would like Dr. Jamie to review. Please hand carry them to the first appointment.

  • Required completion of the Functional Medicine Intake Form, an Environmental Exposure History Form, and a Medical Systems Questionnaire (MSQ) at least 72 hours before your appointment. This may take up to 2 hours to complete and is quite detailed.

  • Entails 120 minutes of face-to-face time in addition to Dr. Jamie’s thoughtful review of your case prior to and following our visit.

  • Includes identification of some root causes and terrain vulnerabilities

  • You will be set up for a 60-90 minute follow-up consultation review in 2-4 weeks after your initial consult to discuss some of your discovered roots/vulnerabilities and initial terrain-directed recommendations.

After your 2-stage consultation, you will be offered the option of a membership, which would include Functional Medicine testing and support from the entire CIOFM team. This consists of a Functional Medicine and Oncology-trained nurse practitioner, holistic dietician, and health care coach. Membership also provides serial visits with Dr. Jamie throughout your care, the frequency of which is determined at your initial consult and based on your membership.

Whether you are a patient with active cancer or concerned about your risk of cancer recurrence or development, Dr. Jamie always begins each assessment with the 2-stage consultation.

Unfortunately, insurance companies do not typically pay for holistic modalities or Functional Medicine, and we do not accept private insurance of any kind.

Due to federal guidelines, we are unable to take care of Medicare patients at our office. Dr. Jamie may be able to provide care at an alternate facility. If you are interested in exploring this option further, fill out a Discovery Call application.

Dr. Jamie has chosen a concierge approach to see fewer patients, allowing her to provide each patient with personalized, comprehensive care that leads to long-term, maintainable transformation.

This unique approach typically segues into at least one year of membership, utilizing Functional labs and the support of the entire CIOFM professional team.

The initial consultation is $1,800.00. Dr. Jamie typically spends at least 6-7 hours on each case, including 3+ hours of face-to-face time with you. For former patients of Dr. Jamie, CIOFM offers 10% off the initial 2-stage consultation.

Upon completion of the 2-stage consultation, you will have a better understanding of the root causes that are identified and will be provided with personalized initial counseling. This alone can be very eye-opening and empowering. However, the membership provides a deep dive into Functional Medicine testing and further work with Dr. Jamie and her team, each of whom provides the highest caliber of care to each and every patient. This second appointment will give you greater insight into helpful modifications (anti-cancer foods, lifestyle changes, and potential supplements, even if you decide not to pursue a membership). We feel it has significant merits and will offer you helpful insights regardless.
