PHONE CONSULTATIONS
Helping you to achieve your best healthy bladder status starts with developing a mutually committed and respectful relationship between the patient and the health care provider. Usually this is done in person.
Sometimes, due to certain situations such as time or distance, you may not be able to make an office visit. Sometimes you may just want to "talk things over" with a health care provider so you can decide on the next steps.
In these circumstances, you may find that a telephone conversation gives you the information that you need.
We cannot offer a medical diagnosis or prescribe medications with a phone consultation.
By listening and asking questions, we can help you sort out your bladder health challenges. We may suggest nutritional plans, vitamins and herbal supplements, pelvic floor muscle exercises and devices. We can offer referrals and we are always happy to work in concert with your local practitioner.
You will find that the Healthy Bladder Program not only gets your bladder and pelvic floor healthy, but the program also contributes to an overall state of health.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We offer the following options:
Consultation for personal bladder control problems:
- Review of your completed detailed patient questionnaire.
- Review of your completed Bladder Diaries.
- Written recommendations for a Healthy Bladder Program.
- Personal instruction on Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises.
The first step is to complete the REQUEST A PHONE CONSULTATION FORM (below). This entitles you to a free 10 minute phone consultation to determine if a phone consultation is an appropriate option.
If a phone consultation is determined to be beneficial for you, we will either mail or email you our questionnaire and documents well in advance of your appointment. It is very important that we receive the completed questionnaire at least one week prior to your appointment. We also ask that you send any pertinent test results or medical records, along with a recent picture of yourself if possible.
After receiving the documents, you should plan on at least 7 to 10 days to complete. Please review the section HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY APPOINTMENT? The more complete the information you return to us, the better our ability to offer helpful recommendations. You do not want to use up your time during the phone consultation collecting this information. This is your time to develop a Healthy Bladder Program for you.
We will ask for a credit card number and payment at the time your phone consultation appointment is booked. This secures your private, uninterrupted phone consultation.
Phone consultations are available between the hours of 10 AM and 8 PM CST.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You should plan on having your phone consultation within 2 weeks after returning your documents to us. This allows us to give you recommendations based upon your current health status.
If you are unable to make the phone consultation within this timeframe, let us know and we will send you additional documents to complete so that we have the most current information on you.
Preparing for your phone consultation requires our time and expertise. You may always reschedule your phone consultation one time at no additional charge, however, full refunds are not available. If you choose not to participate in a phone consultation after scheduling, $100 will be charged to your credit card for time spent preparing for your phone consultation.
