Do you see children?

Yes we do!

Do you offer other services?

Many of our patients, after learning what Functional Medicine is all about, choose to make a follow up appointment to get to the root cause of their symptoms and try to halt progress and sometimes reverse the disease process. Functional medicine works well for chronic pain, fibromyalgia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and autoimmune conditions. Check out our Inspire Wellness website for more info!

What forms does cannabis come in?

The dispensaries will eventually carry tinctures, oils, edibles, creams and many forms of cannabis. At first they will have the flower or plant only. Note that Ohio law prohibits smoking so you will have to dry vaporize or make oil/butter yourself until the dispensaries are fully stocked.

What follow up is required?

It is up to the discretion of the doctor, but the state is allowing up to 12 months between visits. If the doctor requests a sooner follow up appointment than 12 months, no additional fees would be required.
