The Process.
STEP 1
INITIAL CONSULT:
THE PLAN
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
BIOMETRIC ANALYSIS:
THE START
Obtain a comprehensive biometric analysis including vital signs, body composition measurements, grip strength analysis, heart rate variability, memory & attention assessments. Meet with Dr T to discuss your diagnostic results.
STEP 3
CONTINUOUS SUPPORT:
THE JOURNEY
Begin your recommended treatment plan – start new habits and therapeutic protocols, with close guidance along the way. Meet with Doctor T regularly to monitor your progress and adjust your care plan. Engage in foundational workshops to solidify your knowledge and broaden your vision for your health. Practice new lifestyle habits. Track your progress. Change the stimulus and watch yourself respond.
STEP 4
REASSESSMENT:
THE RESULTS
Reassess your personal biometrics and diagnostic studies, and correlate to improved functionality. 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?
We do not provide any emergency or primary care services at Doctor T, MD.
At the top level, our neurofeedback helps with conditions that are of concern to nearly everyone: stress reactivity, quality of sleep, alertness, energy level, mood regulation, appetite regulation, attention, and cognitive function more generally. Our neurofeedback is training in optimum functioning. That is to say, the method is inherently function-focused rather than dysfunction-focused.
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, however an out-of-state transition of care fee applies, which allows us to provide you with a transition of care plan back to your home state (please contact us for fee schedule and details). You may return to NC to see Doctor T on a repeated basis if you choose. 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. In general, physician follow-up appointments are every 3-6mo during active treatment, and annual follow-up visits when not on active treatment protocols. Advanced Therapies are billed separately.
Please contact us for further details.
You can book an appointment here when you are ready.
Do You Accept insurance?
Doctor T, MD is a cash-pay practice. You may use credit card, check/cash, or HSA/FSA funds to pay for services. While we do not accept or file with insurance through our office, our invoice includes the appropriate CPT codes for services provided by our office. You may submit your invoice to your private insurance to request reimbursement, however please know that many of the natural and integrative therapies we provide are not reimbursable by insurance. If you have Medicare you cannot submit our bills due to CMS regulations and your private contract with our office.
Please note that laboratory and diagnostic services provided by third parties (Labcorp, Quest) typically will file insurance claims for those services for you, and we encourage you to work directly with them to understand your coverage and our-of-pocket expenses. We provide CPT and ICD-10 codes in our orders and request they bill your insurance, but we do not assist with the insurance filing process.
DO YOU ACCEPT MEDICARE/MEDICAID PATIENTS?
Yes, however due to federal regulations, Medicare/Medicaid patients will need to sign an acknowledgement form that they cannot file any charges paid at this office for reimbursement.
HOW DO I SOURCE MY MEDICINES (INJECTABLES, HERBS, SUPPLEMENTS)?
While we encourage you to take-on the learning process of sourcing high quality medicines and herbs, we also understand this can be an overwhelming and daunting task. If you would prefer to source and supply your own herbs, supplements, and over-the counter medicines please ensure your selected products are:
- 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.
Doctor T’s patients have optional access to her dispensary account with Fullscripts.com. This system allows Doctor T to choose recommended herbs/supplements, brands/formulations and send them to you with dosing instructions – whether you choose to buy from this website or not is up to you, but we find it to be a great tool for communication. You can also use it to shop for other health related products if you desire. For products that are not available on Fullscripts, we will provide you with reputable sourcing links upon request.
Prescription medicines will be sent to a local pharmacy for you to pick up & pay for – depending on the product, your insurance may or may not be accepted. Some specialty prescriptions (ie. compounded injectables, viscum album (mistletoe), EDTA chelation, etc) must be ordered directly to our clinic and administered by the clinic, in which case we will source the medicine and include the price in your service fee. You will be provided with a good faith estimate of cost for these specialty medicines.
