When the pandemic lockdown began in March insurances relaxed their guidelines on telemedicine which allowed me to offer that service to my patients. I am currently using doxy.me for telemedicine appointments, which is a HIPAA compliant platform. While telemedicine has some drawbacks, I’m grateful to be able to offer this to my patients. For services that can not be done via telemedicine, we are doing everything we can to make your visit safe. We are cleaning all surfaces, we have air purifiers in our rooms, we are staggering patients, and of course, we are washing our hands and wearing masks. At some point insurance may change their guidelines on telemedicine, until that time we will continue to offer both telemedicine and in-office appointments for your healthcare needs.

After 20 years as a pharmacist, Dr. Stephanie was pulled to take her love of nature, her sense of spiritual philosophy, and her desire to play a more active role in teaching others to maintain/regain health, and find a new career path.
