What to Expect At
Your Initial Appointment
The initial 75-minute consultation is comprehensive and includes a full assessment by Dr. Cates of health history and pertinent physical exams.
Dr. Cates likes to follow up every 3 to 6 weeks until symptoms are managed and you appear on a clear path to wellness.
At the end of the initial visit, Dr. Cates will discuss a customized treatment plan and long term follow-up plan.
At that point, she will recommend follow ups every 6 to 12 months. Return visits last 15 to 60 minutes depending upon your needs.

A Customized Treatment Plan
Dr. Cates individualizes the treatment plans toward the patients’ unique health needs rather than merely their diagnosed disease. Her goal is to find and address the underlying cause of a person’s disease, to support their body’s innate ability to heal rather than simply suppress symptoms. Based upon what she discovers during the intake, Dr. Cates’ holistic treatment approach may include any combination of the following modalities: nutritional therapy (diet and supplements), homeopathy, herbal medicine, environmental medicine, craniosacral therapy and bio-identical hormones.
