Your Visit
What to expect
Book your appointment today to start your health journey. Dr. A is dedicated to providing personalized care and ensuring your well-being with comprehensive evaluations and treatments.
How to prepare
You will be emailed an intake form - these can be quite thorough - feel free to fill them out with as much detail as you like. Please complete and submit your forms in one sitting so your responses are saved correctly.
If you have recent lab work or test results, our front desk team will be happy to upload them to your chart before your visit.
It is necessary to have your current medications with dosing, and bonus points of you have your supplements on hand.
Loved ones are always welcome to attend as well, with your consent. It can be helpful to have extra support, and another set of eyes and ears in the visit as there can be a lot of information.
Your first visit
Phone: you will receive a phone call from a private number at your appointment time.
Video: login by clicking on the JaneApp link found in your email.
In-person: please arrive 10 minutes early to your first visit.
You may start by explaining your story - often it helps to outline your history. Naturopathic medicine often aims to uncover missed clues - like detective work, but for health.
Part way through the appointment, you will be asked what your health goals are - this is to ensure the following recommendations align with you. Usually there are a few different options you can choose from to get started.
Modalities
Testing - sometimes it can be helpful to get more objective data to determine next steps.
Lifestyle modifications - always the foundation to lasting change
Supplements and botanicals - often used to manage specific health conditions or correct deficiencies
Mental health - the mind-body connection is always an essential part of care
In-person treatments - If you are in NS or NB, Dr. Adrienne is practicing virtually only, but has the ability to refer you to another ND for IV therapy, injections, acupuncture, or qEEG Brain Mapping and neurofeedback. Dr. A is currently practicing in person in Calgary, AB (Mission) and can see you at Healthflow for consultations, IV therapy, injections, or acupuncture.
