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 includes:

  • A review of your prior oncology records, pathology results, labs, imaging, genetic testing, molecular studies, and all treatments to date, as well as 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.

  • 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.

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

  • Identification of some root causes and terrain vulnerabilities.

  • Access to the Terrain Fundamentals video series by Dr. Jamie, which she strongly recommends you review prior to the initial consult.

  • A 60-90-minute follow-up consultation review 2-4 weeks after your initial consult to discuss some of any labs and 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.

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, with a 50% deposit due at booking and the balance due at your first appointment.

With your deposit, you will receive access to our Terrain Fundamentals video series to get you started.

Dr. Jamie typically spends at least 4-5 hours on each new patient’s initial consult, including 3 hours of face-to-face time with you.

We are able to provide care to Medicare patients, given they are NOT enrolled in Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage). If you have an HMO, you must consent that integrative oncology and/or holistic services are not covered under your plan to move forward with care at CIOFM.

Unfortunately, many private insurance companies do not cover holistic care, and we do not accept or file any private insurance.

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.
