Preparing for your visit: what to bring and complete prior to your first naturopathic visit

The following documents should be completed on the portal prior to the first visit. These are sent to you through a link sent to the email you registered the portal account under. Please TEXT me if you have questions about this: 520-276-8315

1) 4 practice documents requiring electronic signature: (1) Practice Policies, including cancellation fees, (2) Consent for Telehealth Consultation, (3) Notice of Privacy Practices at Colibri Wellness Center, and (4) Informed Consent for Naturopathic Medicine at Colibri Wellness Center. Dr. Vose will send these prior to the introductory phone call, and you can ask questions about these forms at any time.

2) 2 forms to complete for accurate information about your health (1) Demographics form and (2) Dr. Erik Vose, NMD New Patient Questionnaire (this is long and autosaves so please add all information you can think of and submit once, or let me know if you need to complete the form a second time to add more information you remembered for example)

3)Credit card information secure Stripe form to reserve your appointment time (required upon confirming the requested appointment)

In addition to things completed on the portal, please also consider (and bring with you if you like):

1) YOUR PRIORITIES AND GOALS: for both the first visit and our work together overall. How will you know your goals are met? How can we clearly know you are getting closer to your goals?

2) MEDICAL RECORDS: Bring any and all available medical records to your visit. If you do have copies we can upload to the portal and make sure you have access to copies of all your medical records possible, including lab results and imaging reports. For official records request we will provide a document to sign and we can submit that to your doctor’s office. You can call and request your healthcare provider fax your records to 520-253-8689.

3) LIST OF MEDICATIONS AND SUPPLEMENTS If you cannot complete this information in the new patient questionnaire, it is ok to bring a list, or take a picture, of all your medications and supplements, and also please not how much you are taking of each if possible. This can be completed during the intake questionnaire and you are welcome to take a picture or bring a list to save time.

4) COMFORTABLE CLOTHING may be necessary with access to specific treatment areas, as needed for prolotherapy or other medical treatments like IV therapy or blood draws for testing.

5) WRITE DOWN QUESTIONS or send them by message through the portal prior to your appointment.

6) EATING A MEAL 1-2 HOURS PRIOR TO THE VISIT is generally recommended to allow the most settled and productive experience collaborating on health care together. Typically blood tests in the Naturopathic office are “non-fasting” as this increases patient comfort and provides a greater success rate with blood draws and IV therapy. Sometimes patients that have not eaten will feel more chaotic and stressed recalling their complex medical history.
