Frequently Asked Questions in Toms River NJ

Our integrative and functional medicine consults are comprehensive, root-cause-focused visits that explore all aspects of your health—physical, nutritional, emotional, and environmental. We combine conventional medicine with evidence-based complementary therapies to create a personalized wellness plan. This may include advanced lab testing, nutrition support, supplements, and lifestyle changes.

Traditional primary care focuses on managing symptoms and prescribing medications. Our approach goes deeper to uncover the “why” behind your symptoms, using a systems-based, whole-person model. We spend more time with you and look at how lifestyle, nutrition, gut health, hormones, and inflammation may be affecting your health.

As a primary care consultant, we do not replace your primary care doctor but act as an additional layer of support. We offer conventional medical care such as wellness check-ins, chronic disease management, lab reviews, and health monitoring. This service does not include functional testing or advanced integrative care, but it ensures consistent support with a focus on prevention and long-term well-being.

Yes! We provide secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth visits so you can access care from the comfort of your home. Telehealth is available for most consultations, coaching sessions, lab reviews, and treatment follow-ups. It’s ideal for busy professionals, frequent travelers, or those living outside our immediate area.

Our coaching sessions support the implementation of your health plan by focusing on real-life, sustainable habits. We help you make changes in nutrition, sleep, stress, and movement through education, goal-setting, and accountability. It’s not just about knowing what to do—it’s about having the tools and support to actually do it.

Medical consults focus on diagnosis and treatment planning by the physician. Coaching is a collaborative support service designed to help you carry out that plan. Coaches do not prescribe or diagnose; they help you develop sustainable habits and stay consistent with your wellness goals.

Celluma is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive therapy that uses low-level light (red, blue, and infrared) to stimulate natural healing at the cellular level. It’s clinically proven to support:

• Pain and inflammation reduction
• Skin rejuvenation (fine lines, acne, aging)
• Hair growth
• Wound healing

It’s painless, relaxing, and can be used as a stand-alone service or alongside other therapies.

For best results and benefits, we recommend 3 weekly 30 minute sessions.

Biomat therapy combines far-infrared heat, negative ions, and amethyst crystals to create a relaxing experience that supports detoxification, circulation, and immune function. Many patients use it for stress relief, pain management, or general wellness enhancement. It’s a passive therapy—you simply lie down, relax, and let your body absorb the healing benefits.

Our clinic operates as a direct-pay model and does not bill insurance. However, we can provide you with superbills for possible reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits or Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). Many patients find that the quality of care and time spent is worth the investment.

Simply contact us through our website or call the office to schedule your first consultation. We’ll guide you through next steps, forms, and any pre-visit instructions. We offer both in-person and telehealth visits based on your preference and location.

Yes. To respect the time and preparation that goes into each visit, we require at least 48 business hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling.

• Late cancellations and no-shows (less than 48 hours’ notice) - full visit fee will apply.

These policies help us offer dedicated time to each patient and ensure fairness to those on our waitlist. Emergencies will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

We do not provide acute sick visits for conditions such as upper respiratory infections, fevers, sore throats, or other urgent concerns. For these types of issues, we recommend visiting your primary care provider, an urgent care center, or the emergency department, depending on the severity.

Our clinic focuses on integrative and functional medicine consultations, preventative care, and chronic condition management. If your acute illness requires follow-up care or integrative recovery support, we’re happy to assist once your immediate needs are addressed.

Yes. Although we are a cash-based clinic and do not bill insurance directly, we are happy to provide you with a detailed itemized receipt (superbill) after your visit. This includes procedure codes (CPT), diagnosis codes (ICD-10), and provider information, which you can submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement or apply toward your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA).

Please note that reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your individual insurance plan. We recommend contacting your insurance provider in advance to understand your out-of-network benefits.
