Practice Questions
Gastroenterology from a naturopathic perspective, hormones and men’s health.
By license, patients must establish with me in-person in Arizona so I can perform a physical examination. After that, hybrid care is okay, and I have video/Zoom or phone appointments regularly.
I do not treat pediatrics (kids <21 years old), gerontology (>80 years old) or oncology (cancer) cases. I have great referrals for these.
No. I do not treat anyone under 21 years old.
Yes. Many people are surprised to learn that licensed naturopathic doctors (NDs) like Dr. Wool can prescribe medications, but their ability to do so depends significantly on the specific state or jurisdiction. In licensed states like Arizona, NDs possess prescription rights and can function as primary care providers.
Yes. We have lab facilities and a medical assistant in the clinic. For blood labs, we most often will order a mobile nurse (phlebotomist) to come to your home or office to perform the draws for your convenience. We also have access to specialty labs, many of which (stool, urine, breath, etc.) we drop ship to your home.
No. Visits are by appointment only. I offer a free 15 minute Discovery Call for new patients.
Yes! Natural medicine respects the individual and is inclusive of all people. One of Dr. Wool's practice specialty is Gay Men's Health.
Pricing & Payment Questions
No. Traditional health insurance does not cover naturopathic doctor visits. You should expect all services in our clinic to be out of pocket.
Insurance may cover some of the routine lab tests, and we can provide a coded superbill for you to submit to your insurance company.
No. Naturopathic doctor fees nor labs are not covered by Medicare.
Yes. We accept Health Saving Account (HSA) debit cards.
No. The practice is cashless (card only). Credit, Debit and HSA cards are welcome.
My Initial appointment fee is $595.
The first Review of Findings follow-up appointment fee is $295
Subsequent follow-up appointments are $195
Appointment Questions
- Initial appointments are up to 90 minutes.
- The first Review of Findings follow-up appointment is 60 minutes.
- Regular follow-up appointments are up to 45 minutes.
- I also invite communication with my patients between visits via text and often I’ll hop on the phone for a few minutes to answer questions or clarify our treatment plan.
Yes. However, our initial visit must be in-person in Arizona by license so I can perform a physical examination. After that, hybrid care is okay, and I have Zoom or phone appointments with my patients regularly.
That gives us flexibility for follow-up care while still meeting the requirements for your first visit.
Yes.
Get your patient portal (Practice Better) account established. There is a ling "patient login" at the top of this page.
Digitally sign all online consent forms and patient questionaires (emailed to you with links). These must be completed 48 hours before your first appointment. That helps us fully prepare for your visit. Failure to comply may result in cancellation of your appointment.
It is also helpful to upload past labs or doctor notes into the patient portal prior to your visit. This enables your provider to get a better sense of your health history, ask good questions and ensure we don't unnecessarily duplicate lab orders.
