More time to understand your health
What makes our medical appointments different
Our approach combines internal and integrative medicine with education and practical guidance. When appropriate, Dr. Casiano may consider routine or specialized testing to explore questions raised by your symptoms, history, or existing results. Testing is recommended based on your individual needs.
A different appointment experience
A routine office visit often centers on a specific concern within a limited appointment window. Our comprehensive medical appointments are designed to allow a broader conversation about your health and the factors that may be contributing to your concerns.
| Focus | A typical office visit | Wonderfully Med |
|---|---|---|
| Time | A shorter visit may leave limited time to explore several concerns. | The initial Integrative Medical Evaluation allows up to one hour for your history, concerns, goals, and questions. |
| Perspective | The immediate concern may take priority, with other issues addressed at later visits. | We look for connections across your concerns and consider nutrition, sleep, stress, medications, and daily habits. |
| Testing | Testing commonly begins with routine labs suited to the concern being evaluated. | We consider existing results, routine labs, and specialized testing when appropriate to your clinical needs. |
| Guidance | The visit may focus on the immediate treatment plan and necessary follow-up. | Education and personalized next steps are part of the appointment, with coaching and ongoing support available through selected programs. |
Your investment includes work beyond the appointment
Thoughtful medical care takes preparation. Depending on your service or plan, the work supporting your care may include:
- Reviewing your health history, records, medications, supplements, and laboratory results.
- Researching relevant concerns and considering patterns across your findings.
- Preparing personalized recommendations and explaining the reasons behind them.
- Documenting your care and coordinating appropriate next steps.
Your appointment price reflects both your time with the physician and the professional work that supports that visit. The services and ongoing support included depend on the option you choose.
Guidance you can put into practice
We explain what your findings mean, why a recommendation may help, and how it can fit into your daily life. Depending on your service or plan, follow-up appointments, coaching, and educational resources provide additional support as you make changes and review your progress.
A direct-pay approach to care
Insurance often does not cover certain functional and integrative medicine services or specialized lab testing. Even when a service is covered, the appointment time or type of support you want may fall outside your plan’s benefits. Coverage varies by insurer, plan, and service; some conventional medical services used in integrative care may be covered.
Our direct-pay approach gives us more flexibility in appointment length, the concerns we explore, and the education and support we provide. We explain what is included and which costs are separate before you commit, so you can decide whether the service fits your needs and budget.
When labs or other outside services are recommended, we can discuss potential insurance options when available, along with direct-pay alternatives, to help you understand your choices and costs. Coverage depends on your individual plan.
