The Process.
STEP 1
INITIAL CONSULT:
THE START
Meet with Doctor T to review your health history in-depth. Investigate possible connections between prior and current states of health, and discuss what these might signify physiologically. Decide on any diagnostics, lifestyle changes, and referrals that might be needed for your plan.
STEP 2
ACTION:
THE PLAN
Receive a clear & concise action plan based on your initial consult and laboratory investigations – including lifestyle and dietary recommendations, herbs & supplements, alternative treatments (IV therapies, hyperbaric oxygen, chelation), mind & spiritual therapies. This is your personal roadmap to a life you can do & enjoy.
STEP 3
CONTINUOUS SUPPORT:
THE JOURNEY
Start new habits and therapeutic protocols. Receive clinical support from our RN, health coach, and administrative staff to ensure you are moving through your care plan with success. If applicable, come to the clinic for prescribed office therapies (IV therapies, hyperbaric oxygen, chelation, compresses, etc.). Change the stimulus and watch your body respond.
STEP 4
REASSESSMENT:
THE RESULTS
Meet with Doctor T every 1-3 months during active treatment to monitor your progress and adjust your care plan. As you heal, begin to space out appointments and de-escalate therapies. Celebrate your successes and set new goals for your future health.
Advanced Therapies:
MODERATE HYPERBARIC OXYGEN
HBOT can be a safe, effective treatment for many types of medical conditions because it activates the body’s natural healing and anti-oxidant mechanisms, even in areas with poor blood flow which can be difficult to affect with other treatment modalities. It is a therapy that yields its restorative properties with chronic & long term use, however many users start to notice improvements in their symptoms after just a few treatments.
CHELATION THERAPY
Chelation means a medication that acts as a chelator or “claw” to bind and remove substances from the body. Sodium EDTA, a medical chelation compound, was first used to remove heavy metals from the body in the 1950s and doctors noticed incidentally that patients had symptoms of better blood flow to the heart after therapy. It has since been extensively studied and used as an alternative therapy for atherosclerosis.
IV ANTIOXIDANT & NUTRIENT THERAPY
Inflammation has been a unifying feature of most identified chronic medical conditions. While our systems are equipped with intrinsic anti-oxidant and restorative systems to counter our day-to-day toxin load, these systems can be overwhelmed and depleted with chronic medical conditions or symptoms. By repleting our stores and reinstating our natural anti-oxidant systems, homeostasis can be restored and benefit a variety of conditions.
CUSTOMIZED NUTRITIONAL ASSESSMENT & SUPPORT
We understand the importance of addressing your unique physiology and curating a care plan tailored to your specific needs. With a comprehensive health assessment, we gain insight into your biology to create a custom plan that works for you. Our continuous support ensures that we can monitor your progress and make adjustments to your plan as needed.

CAN DOCTOR T, MD BE MY PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR?
Doctor T, MD does not provide vaccinations, cancer screenings, disability exams and cannot serve as your primary care physician in that capacity. We also not provide any emergency or same day evaluations. Thus, we recommend you maintain a primary care physician for preventative and emergency services.
CAN I RECEIVE CARE FROM DOCTOR T IF I AM NOT IN NORTH CAROLINA?
No, Doctor T is licensed to see patients only within the state of NC. If you are travelling to NC you may seek short term care or consultation from Doctor T while you are in NC, with two options: 1) return to NC at recommended intervals for routine follow-up with Doctor T; 2) transition your care to providers in your home state (we will provide you with a transition of care letter and your medical records – engagement fee applies). We do not offer telehealth visits for medical management.
What is the cost structure?
Doctor T’s consultation time is billed hourly and is not reimbursable by insurance. Initial intake to our practice costs $595 and includes your 90min intake appointment. Follow-up appointments are $225 (45min) and on average occur 2-3 times in the first year of active treatment but varies highly based on your condition and needs. We have patients with advanced conditions and intensive treatment protocols who meet with Doctor T monthly, and other patients who are clinically improving who meet with her annually. The frequency of your visits will be discussed and agreed upon between you.
All of Doctor T’s patients have access to our RN and health coach, administrative staff, supplement ordering system, compresses/foot baths at no cost.
The cost of IV treatments, Hyperbaric Oxygen, medicines & supplements are billed separately (please contact us for details). All of Doctor T’s patients receive discounted rates for IV infusions and hyperbaric treatments — these services are costly to provide, and we strive to offer them to our internal patients at the lowest cost possible to reduce the barriers to effective care.

HOW DO I SOURCE MY MEDICINES (INJECTABLES, HERBS, SUPPLEMENTS)?
- Third party tested or trusted for true dosing content
- Herb medicine must be fresh and properly harvested & processed – use companies that have a history of clinical efficacy.
- Ensure the absolute dosage you are taking matches what is recommended to you: compare extraction content for herbs, dosage of other mixed-in ingredients, and capsule count.
