What is a Health Coach?
You may have heard the term “health coach” popping up in nutritional circles and appearing randomly in magazine articles and on TV. However, I often find when I tell someone that I’m a health coach, they have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about. Health and wellness coaches are popping up in doctor’s offices, spas, gyms and private practices all over the country. They often offer services and fill gaps that doctors, nutritionists and dietitians don’t have the time or resources to fill.
Health coaches have the expertise to help you with:
- Nutrition
- Physical activity
- Tobacco cessation
- Stress management
- Work place wellness
What can I expect at an appointment?
Health coaching will help you create goals for improved wellness while providing accountability and support for achieving those goals. Individual appointments are 30 minutes and group coaching sessions are 50 minutes.
What happens if I am a new patient?

Do you examine children?
Yes.

What happens if I need a prescription?
We may prescribe for example analgesia treatment for your condition. Please let us know in case you have any allergy or other medical condition.
If you have already been taking drugs prescribed by your home doctor, please bring them with you for clarification or possible drug interactions and correlations with the new condition.
Insurance and Billing
Do you accept my insurance?
Our Medical Centre accepts most of the internationally recognized Insurance companies with affiliate.
If this is not your case, or if you have no insurance coverage then you will be expected to pay the bill in cash or credit card at the end of consultation. The original receipt, the signed copy of the credit card bill, the medical report in English and the results of tests performed are given to you in order to be delivered to your private or state insurance for reimbursement.
An estimate of consultation fees and costs, investigations or surgery are available on request.
Do I need referral?
If you have private insurance with an affiliate, the referral can be sent from your insurance company to us by fax or e-mail. We suggest that you contact your insurance in order to obtain this referral before your visit to our offices.
If you don’t have an insurance coverage, feel free to come to our Medical Centre. The billing procedure is as explained above.
Do you have parking facilities?
Yes.
Free Parking is available in front and around the Medical Centre.
