CLINICAL ON-BOARDING

PATIENT ACCEPTANCE POLICY To ensure clinical integrity, please review our standards of care before booking. Alignment on these procedures is essential to your health outcomes.

Note: Booking an appointment confirms your consent to the standards and policies outlined below.

PHASE 01: DATA COLLECTION

• Digital Intake: Complete your Initial Intake Form below prior to your visit. (Paper versions available for Child 13-17, 6-12, and 0-5) and Adult.

Medical Records: Please email info@drtonivarela.com, fax (925) 418-1119, or bring records from the past 12 months. Requesting these 7 days prior to your visit ensures Investigative Precision and may reduce the need for new testing.

• Current Protocols: Bring all medications and supplements (or a detailed list with dosages) and your pharmacy contact information.

• Insurance: We recommend verifying your out-of-network lab coverage in advance for potential reimbursement.

PHASE 02: THE INVESTIGATIVE CONSULT

• Initial Session: These consultations last 60–90 minutes (In-office or Virtual). We conduct a deep-dive into all body systems, history, and environment to identify underlying causes.

• Specialized Testing: Any necessary labs will be reviewed for cost and clinical purpose during your session. Results typically return within 2–3 weeks.

  
  

PHASE 03: CONTINUITY OF CARE

• Follow-Up Strategy: Your first follow-up (45 mins) occurs 2–3 weeks after your initial visit to design your customized blueprint. Subsequent sessions are scheduled every 3, 6, or 12 weeks.

• Prescription Integrity: Patients on HRT or Thyroid protocols must be seen every 3–6 months for lab review and safety monitoring. Refills are authorized in 90-day increments.

• Professional Boundaries: To ensure privacy and clinical integrity, all medical advice and lab reviews are reserved for scheduled consultations rather than unscheduled calls, texts, or emails.
