Dr. Greer's practice is currently open to new patients. For details on making an appointment and fees to expect, read on.
Appointments
New appointments are scheduled for one to two hours to allow enough quality time for thoughtful listening and thorough solutions to your problems. Appointments are normally conducted Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, 9:30-5:00.
Please call 206.343.5985 (voicemail) to indicate your medical concerns, whether weight loss, hormone or wellness related. Request your preferred day, date and time (morning or afternoon). We will call you back to confirm your requested time or give you available options.
Payment for Services
Payment is due at the time of service and must be paid upon the patient’s first visit with cash or credit card (VISA/MasterCard). Payment by check is not permitted on first visits.
New patients must pay a $25 deposit by VISA or MasterCard to receive a pre-visit package for completion prior to the first appointment.
Insurance
Please note that we are a non-preferred insurance provider. Consequently, full payment is due at the time of services. ICD-9 reimbursement codes are supplied to you to allow you to seek reimbursement from your individual insurance provider.
Fees
We are glad to assist you in getting better health and staying within your budget. Our fees reflect the unusual amount of time spent with patients and the quality of care and education those visits allows.
Hormone consultations cost $225 for the initial visit of 90-120 minutes. Subsequent check-ups, as needed, cost $125. Natural hormone consultations are done annually and prescriptions are written annually (i.e., 60-day prescription plus 6 refills). The cost for new hormone replacement consultation is $225, and returning hormone replacement therapy costs $175 per year. Additional refills are not issued without prepayment for annual consultation appointments.
Weight loss appointments start with an initial 90-minute visit that costs $225. Patients are seen monthly for follow-ups visits at a cost of $99 each until your goal weight is achieved. Then you are required to see me every four months for weigh-in and measurements to stay in the program.
For herbal therapies, Dr. Greer shops the best and most reputable herb companies to obtain the most nutritionally complete product for the least expensive price. If you have multiple problems, then you will need more products than a person with one problem. With multiple complaints, the price of the recommended herbs can be significant. Used efficiently, these may last 3-4 months. The average monthly cost for weight loss herbs is about $100 to $200 (plus your $99 visit fee for monthly care).
