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.

Insomnia is a common complaint from patients. Insomnia or inability to fall asleep or stay asleep is a complex issue that can be caused by many things. A thorough and complete history is vital to determining the cause of the problem.
Commonly sugar imbalances are the cause. If sugar does not remain steady throughout a fasting state (when you sleep) it can cause a fluctuation in hormones, which could cause non-restful sleep. Anxiety and stress can also cause the mind to have difficulty quieting down and allowing us to fall asleep. A disruption of normal sleep patterns for any number of reasons can cause disruption of the body’s circadian rhythm and disrupt the ability to sleep.
Sleep disturbances are frequently a symptom of underlying problems. Thyroid dysfunctions as well as other hormonal imbalances in women and male hormone fluctuation can cause insomnia. Sinus congestion and structural problems with the trachea that can cause sleep apnea and prevent you from staying asleep.
Pharmaceutical treatments for insomnia should be used for very short periods of time, while a cause of insomnia is looked into. Long term use of sleeping medications, even over-the-counter, can lead to more severe sleep problems later on.
Sleep is vital not only to our mental health, but to proper physiological function of the body. So, if you are not sleeping well let us help you get to the root of the problem and allow you to get the quality sleep you need to stay healthy.
