FAQ

Do you take insurance? What is the pricing structure? 

We do not accept any commercial insurance. We provide a premium experience for a greater value than most conventional doctor visits. Your health is an investment to us, not an expense. Here is our current pricing structure:

  • 15 min Discovery Phone Call - FREE | Where you and Dr. Felty discuss the process and if you're a good fit. 

  • First Time Consultations - $350 | Where new clients receive Dr. Felty's full attention for an hour and a half virtually or in-person.

  • Follow Up Consultations - $275 | Where current or previous clients receive Dr. Felty's full attention for an hour virtually or in-person.

What is the process?

Before the First Time Consultation - You will fill out our comprehensive intake forms at least 24 hours prior to your visit so that Dr. Felty can review them before she sees you. This gives her a good idea of who you are and what she will focus the visit on. You can also upload any recent labs from the last 3-6 months in the Client portal in the Document's section.

​

First Time Consultation - An hour and a half long visit where you discuss your current health goals, your past medical history, family history, nutrition, lifestyle, emotional health, stress, and more. We will work together, with your body, to achieve your health goals and get to any root of concerns. This includes education around diet, gut health, lifestyle habits, mindfulness, limiting beliefs, emotions, spirituality, toxins, and more. You may discuss lab work such as: blood work, saliva tests, stool tests, breath tests and other functional medicine labs. Functional medicine testing is paid out of pocket typically and ranges from $200-$500 per test. We will encourage you to get lab work done with your primary care provider whenever possible. At the end of this comprehensive visit, you will get immediate solutions and skills to start working on your health. After this initial consultation, follow up consultations will be scheduled on a case by case basis. Frequency can be biweekly to bimonthly depending on your needs. 

 

Follow Up Consultations - Sixty minute visits to work on the root of discomfort, discuss progress, discuss lab work, and provide ongoing support. This is for current or previous clients who have already seen Dr. Felty. You will be working towards wholeness, finding inner balance, and integrating all the dimensions of who you are to achieve your health goals. 

​

Proactive Wellness Consultations - Once health goals have been met, sixty minute proactive visits are scheduled annually or biannually to discuss lab work, disease prevention, lifestyle habits, stress, and health goals. We can support you and your family with new goals, seasons, and transitions.

What is the difference between functional medicine, holistic medicine, and naturopathic medicine?

All of these medicines focus on treating the whole person and getting to the root cause of symptoms. Instead of managing or masking symptoms, these approaches can address key factors that determine your health and wellbeing such as gut health, nutrition, lifestyle, childhood, relationships, chronic stress, mindset, trauma, and environmental toxins. 

​

Naturopathic doctors are trained primary care doctors and teachers who take a natural, non-invasive, and holistic approach to helping you feel better and stop health concerns or symptoms. They teach you why symptoms are happening so you can learn how to heal yourself. They help you address deeper causes to your health problems and give you the support you need to heal. Natural medicine doctors look at you as a whole person - your thoughts, body, emotions, spirit, lifestyle habits and patterns, childhood history, medical history - to support all of you. There is not a one size fits all approach in naturopathic medicine. 

 

In the state of Illinois, naturopathic doctors are not licensed and can not diagnose or treat medical conditions. Dr. Felty works with you and your primary care team to provide holistic care and education that supports overall wellbeing. Learn about naturopathic medicine

Do I need take supplements or vitamins?

Vitamins/supplements can act as a supplement to your diet and can help you maintain proper nutrient levels. No diet is perfect or provides optimal amounts of nutrients every day however you know your body best. It is estimated that 99% of Americans have nutrient deficiencies. And due to industrialized farming practices, soil has become depleted of essential minerals leaving vegetables far less nutrient dense than before. Nutrient deficiencies can also happen over time by stress, medications, gut health issues, infections, and processed foods.

 

Some vitamins/herbs/supplements are essential in helping the body flush out toxins while others maintain healthy levels. However, vitamins/supplements can not replace a whole foods diet or stress reduction. Taking supplements should be individualized based on your deficiencies, symptoms, and health goals. Testing your nutrient levels can be helpful in accessing if you need to be taking certain supplements or not. Dr. Felty can work with you on your individual needs. Get started
