Frequently Asked Questions
How much time do you spend on initial consultations?

Dr. Blair (bodywork and movement medicine) offers 60 and 90 minute options for new patient visits.
Do you take insurance?
We are self pay per visit but we can accept HSA cards and can provide superbills if requested. This way we can actually spend time with you during your visit. Another benefit is that we can usually get you on the schedule within a week or two!
Do you offer guidance on lifestyle changes?
We sure do! In fact, we strongly believe that empowering YOU to take control of your health is what good medicine is all about. Hydration, sleep, nutrition, quality movement, stress reduction - these are all key factors to feeling your best. We can help you make positive changes in your life!
Do you recommend non pharma options / supplements?
Yes. With our community networks we can guide you on multiple healing modalities from both Western medicine as well traditional therapies. This might include hormones, Western prescriptions, herbs, adaptogens, vitamins and supplements. We do not sell supplements, nor do we profit from any that we recommend.
Do you offer nutritional counseling?
Yes, see the Medicine page for more information.
Do you require labs?
We do not have a lab in clinic but you have options!
You can ask your in-network provider to request labs, you can bring in labs from the past year, or we can discuss what labs you might need and you can have those drawn for self-pay. Area labs like Qwest, LabCorp, etc. allow you to self select your own labs. During your initial visit we can help you determine the labs that you need.
