A visit to our beautiful Upper East Side office begins with an in-depth consultation with Dr. Weiser-McCarthy. During this visit, she will spend time getting to know you, understand your health habits and concerns, conduct an examination, and obtain laboratory data if necessary. She will make initial treatment recommendations and schedule a follow-up call with you in two weeks to review your results and finalize your treatment plan. After reviewing the plan with you at your follow-up visit, a detailed written plan will be sent to you and your doctors.
Your integrative medicine treatment plan will include recommendations focusing on nutrition, movement, stress management, nutritional supplementation, and optimization of environmental factors. It may include referral to one of our in-office complementary providers (nutritionist, acupuncturist, meditation teacher and health coach) or outside complementary providers that we frequently collaborate with. These providers are in constant communication with Dr. Weiser-McCarthy which will ensure that your treatment plan is modified if needed. Often, this can be done without another visit with the doctor but on occasion, you may choose to schedule a follow-up visit to reassess your current health and treatment goals.
