New Patients in St. Louis

Welcome to Whole Health & Wellness! As a new patient at Whole Health & Wellness, you’ll receive personalized care focused on understanding the underlying factors contributing to your symptoms and developing a plan tailored to your individual needs.

Your First Appointment:

Your first visit begins with a detailed history and examination to better understand your symptoms and health patterns. From there, we determine whether additional laboratory or functional testing may be helpful and outline a personalized plan to address the underlying factors driving your concerns.

Please allow 60-90 minutes for your first appointment.

Pricing:

At Whole Health & Wellness, our goal is to help patients achieve meaningful, lasting results. We want to provide you with the care we believe will be most helpful to you, rather than allowing insurance coverage to determine what care you receive. Because many of the services we provide are not covered by insurance, we operate as an out-of-network provider.

All services are paid for at the time they are provided.

The initial comprehensive new patient visit is $395 and includes a comprehensive history, consultation, and examination. Chiropractic or NAET care may be incorporated into the initial visit when appropriate rather than requiring a separate initial session.

Follow-up visits are typically $100, though this may vary depending on the services provided during the visit.

We limit the number of new patients we accept to ensure high-quality, personalized care. We often have a waitlist for new patient appointments, and we want to make sure our time is well utilized so we can help as many people as possible. A $200 deposit is required to reserve your initial appointment.

Who This Is Best For:

Because care is highly personalized, recommendations may vary significantly from one patient to another depending on symptoms, history, laboratory findings, stress patterns, lifestyle factors, and overall health goals.

Our approach is best suited for patients who:

• Are looking for natural approaches that may complement or provide an alternative to conventional care

• Want to understand and address the underlying factors driving their symptoms

• Are open to nutrition, lifestyle, and holistic therapies

• Are committed to making changes to support long-term health
