Wellness by Emcura is our program which make integrative medicine and functional medicine accessible to everyone! Once you identify your program, make an appointment with any of our providers. Your initial visit includes an intake, identifying your goals, and ordering your labs (self pay with Emcura or through others). You will then make an appointment with our dedicated Wellness provider to discuss. These appointment are 20 minutes long and we discuss 1 major problem per visit (or this is up to the providers’ discretion as some items are related). Subsequent visits are with Wellness providers where changes and tracked and trended. In summary:

Plan for 20 minutes for your initial intake and either in person or via telemedicine. YOU MUST COMPLETE AN INTAKE FORM PRIOR TO ARRIVAL.

Once we meet, you’ll leave with a clear next-step plan.
