What Can I Expect?

As of May 2011, Dr. Wiegand is not accepting new clients. Please check back in the future for possible openings.

Comprehensive Wellness Visit
Prior to your first 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.

Initial Wellness Visit
The first visit is approximately 60-90 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. Basic 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.

Second Wellness Visit
Your second appointment will be scheduled after necessary labs have been completed and your case has been thoroughly reviewed.  At this visit, Dr. Wiegand will begin to lay out an individualized plan for you. You will receive educational materials 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.

Two visits are normally required 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 Vital Health, you will have access to pharmaceutical grade natural medicines and handouts/educational materials developed by Dr. Wiegand.
