Your first chiropractic or acupuncture visit with Dr. Erin will consist of a comprehensive health history and physical examination, often lasting 45-60 minutes. A thorough examination may consist of, but is not limited to, a comprehensive physical, neurological and orthopedic procedures, muscle testing, and other functional assessments.
Depending on your condition, a radiological exam may be necessary prior to treatment, or referral to another provider may be indicated. If you are able to be treated on the day of the exam, the Dr. Erin will begin care on your first visit. You will receive an explanation of the nature of the condition, discuss short and long-term goals, and have an opportunity to ask any other questions that you may have.
Follow-up appointments are determined based on the unique needs of your condition. Chiropractic visits often last 15 minutes, while acupuncture visits are usually 30-40 minutes.
Functional medicine and nutritional evaluations often require more comprehensive labs to evaluate underlying root causes to symptoms, including routine blood work, saliva or urine testing, or functional stool testing, which will be determined at your initial visit. If additional labs are required, Dr. Erin will review those results at a follow-up appointment and then proceed with recommendations at that time.
We are pleased to offer virtual telemedicine appointments through a secured video-call for those who would prefer this option instead of an in-office visit. Please select this option upon booking your appointment.
If you have any previous imaging reports (x-rays, MRI’s, etc.) that are pertinent to the reason(s) you are coming in for care, we encourage you to obtain those records and bring them to your first visit to ensure that treatment may be considered for the first day.
If you have been working with other medical providers for your health conditions and have had previous lab testing performed, any reports from within the last 1-2 years may be useful for Dr. Erin to review. We encourage you to bring these with you to your first visit, or upload them to the secure patient portal once a profile has been created.
In the office, Dr. Erin can help you submit a release of records to obtain any records from previous offices as well, but we encourage you to obtain them before your visit to save time and ensure that treatment can begin as soon as possible.
Dr. Erin works with a variety of different companies to obtain the highest quality testing at the best pricing.
If routine blood testing is recommended, Dr. Erin often sends patients to Quest, LabCorp, Any Lab Test Now, or other local outpatient lab sites. These labs are often able to be billed to insurance companies, based on medical necessity.
Specialty labs, including hormone testing, comprehensive stool analysis, nutritional deficiencies, food sensitivities, hair tissue mineral analysis, and other advanced testing options are often recommended by Dr. Erin for at-home sample collection. These lab tests are often not covered by insurance companies, but many of these companies offer cash-pay discounts or payment installments upon request. The cost of testing varies, and different test profiles are recommended based on a person’s individual needs and budget.

All healthcare providers practicing functional medicine determine pricing differently.
Dr. Erin Wadelin has created her functional medicine fees to include the extensive time spent with each patient, time spent outside of visits reviewing and interpreting in-depth labwork, time spent constructing individualized treatment plans for each person, and her professional training and experience in the functional medicine field.
Upon booking a first appointment, a new patient will be sent electronic forms to fill out prior to their visit.
During the first appointment, Dr. Erin Wadelin will complete a comprehensive history intake and discuss the timeline of the patient’s specific health concerns. At the end of a first visit, she will present recommendations for lab testing and discuss options for proceeding with care.
At the second appointment, Dr. Erin will review any previously completed labwork, interpret findings based on a person’s symptoms and health concerns, and present treatment recommendations based on dietary and lifestyle changes with targeted supplement recommendations.
Moving forward, functional medicine care proceeds visit-to-visit based on a person’s progress or compliance with recommendations, improvement of symptoms, and Dr. Erin’s guidance of any additional labwork. Typically, follow-up visits are recommended every 1-3 months during care.
Functional medicine is a different approach than traditional or conventional medicine, in that the provider is looking at the biochemical individuality of each person and helping determine treatment recommendations to address the root causes of a person’s health concerns.

If routine blood testing is recommended, Dr. Erin often sends patients to Quest, LabCorp, Any Lab Test Now, or other local outpatient lab sites. These labs are often able to be billed to insurance companies, based on medical necessity. Without insurance, discounted cash-price labwork can still be obtained.
Specialty labs, including hormone testing, comprehensive stool analysis, nutritional deficiencies, food sensitivities, hair tissue mineral analysis, and other advanced testing options are often recommended by Dr. Erin for at-home sample collection. These lab tests are often not covered by insurance companies, but many of these companies offer cash-pay discounts or payment installments upon request.
The cost of testing varies, and different test profiles are recommended based on a person’s individual needs and budget. Most tests ordered by Dr. Erin range from $250-450, but are also only done when medically necessary and to determine a baseline for treatment. Repeating these comprehensive labs is not always necessary, so the investment may be only a one-time cost to initiate care.
While Dr. Erin Wadelin appreciates historical data from your labs, many times, primary care doctors are not running comprehensive testing to determine the underlying causes of symptoms. Just because “everything was normal” does not always mean that there were not concerns about the lab results. A more in-depth evaluation almost always identifies correlations with a person’s symptoms or health concerns, and functional medicine is founded on the principle of “test, don’t guess” so that we can give individualized recommendations to each patient.
We encourage patients to upload or bring any annual labs or specialty labs from their doctors over the last 2 years to their first appointment. However, most of the time, additional bloodwork or speciality testing is recommended after a first visit.
