Important Scheduling Update

Dr. Trites will see current patients for a minimum of a 30-minute appointment. During the past three years, Dr. Trites and his mentors have needed more time to evaluate the increasing bombardment of toxins, viruses and inflammation. Many patients require additional time for instruction on diet, nutrition, lifestyle changes and exercise. These assessments cannot be accomplished in a 15-minute, structure-only visit.

Dr. Trites has started his final year of a six-year program for the only Advanced Functional Medicine Program in the U.S. provided by the Kharrazian Institute. He will be in the institute’s first graduating class. Part of this education is not only research but how to properly educate and consult with patients to meet their health goals. As you can imagine, this not only takes time in your appointment, but Dr. Trites creates your individualized plan outside of your visit.

That said, the need for stress relief, digestion, vascular support, body pain and the occasional “oops” accidents are also important. By all means, Dr. Trites is not dismissing these needs. There are times in your treatment plan when you will need these types of office visits. In these instances, you will schedule a 15-minute, structure-only appointment with Dr. Tate for as long as Dr. Trites recommends. For now, all chemistry, laboratory evaluations, and full examinations will be performed in the 30-minute or longer appointments with Dr. Trites.

NOTE: These changes do not affect patients under 12 years old.
