Office consultations
Each new patient receives an hour and fifteen minute consultation, ensuring ample time for Dr. Barter to fully understand the patient’s case, obtain a thorough history, perform physical exam, and design an individualized treatment plan that may include any combination of the following:
- Adjusting – full spine and extremities
- Craniosacral therapy
- Acupressure
- Homeopathy
- Herbs
- Diet evaluation and recommendations
- Exercise programs
- Sports medicine – athletic injuries, performance enhancement, gait analysis
- Nutritional supplements
- Detoxification programs
- Ordering and interpretation of routine and specialized laboratory studies
Return visits are usually 30-45 minutes depending on which treatments are required that day.
Because each patient is unique, requiring a different treatment plan, and because insurance does not cover many of these therapeutics, payment is required at the time of service.
In Dr. Barter’s experience, most patients who follow her protocols see a halting of disease progression and many experience a complete remission of symptoms. It is Dr. Barter’s professional opinion that most patients can attain or regain a vibrant state of health, enjoyment of life, and physical well-being.
Phone consultations
Live too far away to be able to visit the office in person?
Need a second opinion or expert natural medicine advice that may not be available in your area?
Many people receive diagnoses and prescriptions that they are not certain are appropriate for them. If you would like information about and/or access to a variety of treatment options appropriate to your case, a second opinion is available here.
Specialized interpretation of labwork
Dr. Barter is experienced in functional, “fine-tooth-comb” analysis of all the blood and other lab tests that are commonly run. Whereas most conventional physicians are only looking for parameters that fall outside of a very wide “normal” range, she is trained to read results that give hints about vitamin and mineral deficiencies, chronic hidden infections, chemical toxicity, chronic inflammation, food sensitivities, and many other contributing factors to illness that frequently go undiscovered on routine lab review. She will go over these details with you.
The level of service can be geared to your needs:
- Get a comprehensive, detailed review of any labwork you have had done. The doctor’s impressions can be shared with you over the phone or email.
- Receive a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan for any condition, acute or chronic. Simply fill out the new patient intake form available on this website, fax, email, or mail it to us along with the results of any labwork you have had done. If you need labwork performed, the doctor can order that for you. After the doctor reviews all your information and labwork, a phone consult can be scheduled, and a complete treatment plan can be developed and discussed.
Homeopathic consultations for pets
Animals often respond magically to homeopathy. Results can usually be seen very quickly when the right remedy is administered.
Dr. Barter is not a vet, and homeopathic consultation is not a substitute for good veterinary care, but she has had very good success treating animals great and small with homeopathy. A few examples are:
- Behavioral problems of all sorts
- Arthritis
- Problems not responding to conventional treatment – infections, diarrhea, digestive problems
- Complications after surgery or vaccinations
- Trouble adapting to new situations, family members
