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.

What to expect on your first visit

On your first visit to our office, you can expect a through consultation and examination with the doctor. This allows the doctor to evaluate not only your current problem but your health history. This is needed to best decide what treatments and therapies are best suited for you individually.

When you arrive you will be welcomed and then given a few forms to be filled out (you can also fill them out by clicking the link above). After completing the needed forms, one of the Doctors’ assistants will bring you back and take your vital signs and take your picture for our medical records. After this, you will be taken into the doctor’s office. You will sit down, one on one with the doctor and discuss your current health issues, as well as past health problems, other health concerns, or questions you may have about your care. It is important that you bring any old images, blood tests, or other diagnostic labs with you.

Following your consultation, you will have an examination. What the examination entails is based on your health history and current problems. If needed, you may also have additional laboratory testing, ultrasound, genetics, EKG, Spirometry, x-rays or other diagnostics performed. This is decided on a per patient basis and by no means do all patients need to have these things performed on a first visit.

In either your first visit or a follow-up visit if you require lab tests, the doctor will explain the findings of your examination, as well as what your care will involve. You and the doctor will determine what therapies are best for you. We try and create a team effort at Gateway Natural Medicine and want the patient involved as much as possible. If your current complaints require that we start treatment, you will receive your first treatment or procedure on that same day.

What to expect if the Doctor orders laboratory tests

If the doctor needs blood work as a part of your care, we have an onsite lab in our office. You will have the blood drawn here. Occasionally, there are other tests that you will take home and bring back to us upon completion.

When your lab results come back, you will be contacted by our office and scheduled for a follow up report of findings appointment. You will never receive a phone message or a postcard simply stating that all was normal. This appointment will be another one-on-one consultation with the doctor explaining the tests and the results in detail. At this time, your plan of care will also be outlined. Spouses and family members are encouraged to attend these appointments as we feel it is important that the whole family understand the care that their loved ones are receiving.
