Telemedicine & Virtual Consultations
Distance shouldn't stand between you and the care you need. We offer secure virtual visits alongside our in-person care, for patients across the country and beyond.
Is Telemedicine for You?
Some patients aren't able to drive to our office, don't have a schedule that allows an in-person visit, or live in another part of the country. We don't think distance should stand between you and the care you need.
For patient convenience, we offer both in-person visits and virtual health consultations, also called “telemedicine.” We currently see patients across the country and even outside the United States. Contact us with any questions — we're here to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I communicate with the doctor?
Communication happens by phone or through the secure video platform built into our HIPAA-compliant electronic health record (EHR) system — not consumer apps like Skype or FaceTime — so your health information stays private and protected.
What if I need labs or natural medicine products?
We work with labs across the United States, and many tests can be run at home using take-home kits we provide. Any natural medicine products ship directly to your door — or wherever you're staying, including a hotel while traveling.
What if I want to fly out for one of my visits?
We're located about 50 minutes north of Denver International Airport, just off I-25, with plenty of lodging options nearby in Longmont or Loveland.
More About Virtual Health Consultations
Our HIPAA-protected EHR video platform lets us do more than talk — we can visually examine your concerns, share lab results, and walk through diagrams to help you understand your condition. We use secure screen sharing so you can see exactly what we're looking at.
Many patients choose telemedicine when they can't make it into the office — whether they're out of state, traveling, or working around a scheduling conflict. It's also helped us stay connected with patients and avoid gaps in care during natural disasters and other emergencies.
Many of the labs we use offer take-home versions of their tests that are just as accurate as what we'd run in-office. For diagnostics like bloodwork, we're networked with laboratories nationwide, so convenient access is available in nearly any state.
Telemedicine appointments are treated the same as our in-office visits. Your first appointment typically runs 60–90 minutes depending on the complexity of your case, with follow-ups from 15–60 minutes. Please have any old labs ready in advance, and a written timeline of your symptoms or a food diary can help us too.

Have you been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and not getting relief with your current treatments? Fibromyalgia is often described as a “garbage can diagnosis” yet it is a true complex, multifaceted disease. Rather that treating the symptoms of the syndrome we focus on what hormonal, biochemical or even allergic processes may be contributing to your illness. A misdirected immune system is usually at the base of this process often perpetuated by different kind of gut infections.
The new criteria for fibromyalgia are the following- 19 pain locations and 6 self-reported symptoms: difficulty sleeping, fatigue, poor cognition, headaches, depression, and abdominal pain.
To put it bluntly, the diagnosis of fibromyalgia is rather arbitrary and is often made when the true cause of the problem has not been accurately identified. There are many contributing factors to the symptoms commonly referred to as fibromyalgia. Thyroid disorders, chronic yeast (Candidiasis), food allergies, chemical sensitivities, hormonal imbalances, and nutritional deficiencies are just a few of the possible contributing factors.
It is unfortunate and sad that so many women (2:1) suffer from autoimmune disease such as fibromyalgia. The Doctors of Gateway Natural Medicine with run the proper tests to effectively treat the cause.
This is a diagram of the locations that are tender with a patient diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Women who have been diagnosed with, or think that they might have fibromyalgia, need to have a detailed consultation regarding their health history. Depending on this history, their symptoms and a complete examination, appropriate testing should be ordered. Every attempt should be made to find out the cause of her symptoms and then an appropriate treatment plan formulated with correction as the primary objective. Accepting fibromyalgia as a lifetime problem with no hope is NOT an option.
