In general, you can expect a very comprehensive, holistic approach to your health concerns and questions. 

 

Before Your First Visit
Prior to your visit, you will fill out a health profile form and new patient information form. These can be downloaded at new patient forms or we can mail them to you if you do not have internet access or printing capabilities. It is important that Dr. Wiegand receives your health profile prior to your first visit so she has time to review it and make the most of your time.

 

Pangea Natural Health offers an initial comprehensive wellness package that is made up of two separate visits scheduled approximately one week apart. Most people, including those on special programs, will start off with this package:

 

1. The first visit is approximately 60 minutes long. During this time, Dr. Wiegand will gather detailed information about your health concerns, family and social history, supplement and medication history, environmental exposures, lifestyle, and diet. If additional information is needed, labs may be ordered and previous health records requested. Certain physical exams and in office lab testing may be performed. Minimal recommendations will be given at this visit. The visit format may be different from what you are used to. There is ample time for you to talk about your concerns in an open, interactive environment. The initial intake is very comprehensive and we will cover all aspects of your health, not just those related to your specific concerns.

 

2. Approximately one week later or less, you will have your second visit. After thoroughly researching and reviewing your case during the period between your appointments, Dr. Wiegand will have developed a comprehensive, individualized plan that she will share with you. You will receive educational materials, a wellness notebook, and have plenty of time to ask questions. Treatment approaches include such things as nutrition and lifestyle recommendations, botanical and homeopathic medicine, nutritional supplementation, physical medicine, and detoxification and drainage. For more information about these therapies, click here.

 

The first visit is laid out in this manner in order to provide Dr. Wiegand time to gather information, research your case, investigate lab results, and develop an individualized treatment plan for you. Please bring copies of recent lab reports and bottles of current supplements with you to your first appointment.

 

Return Visits
After the first two visits, subsequent follow-up visits will generally be between 15 and 45 minutes. Dr. Wiegand will review your progress, make changes or new recommendations, and provide support and guidance.

 

As a patient of Pangea Natural Health, you will have access to physician grade natural medicines and handouts/educational materials developed by Dr. Wiegand. You will also receive a wellness notebook at your second visit where you can keep track of your health information. You should bring your wellness notebook to each visit as it will contain important information that we may need to review.

 

I look forward to working with you on your path to wellness! Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
