​
A One-on-One Consultation with Dr. Rooks
Depending on your personal circumstances, you might be advised to schedule with Dr. Rooks, while simultaneously completing the Warrior Wellness course. Prior to your consultation, you will be asked to complete a comprehensive intake form that comes in your confirmation email. This document covers your medical history in depth; everything from your family history, lifestyle, medications, nutrition, exercise, injuries and traumas, stress, sleep, mood, symptoms, and overall life and health trajectory.
​
Please take your time filling out this comprehensive form, but be sure to submit it within 48 hours of your initial appointment! Dr. Rooks reviews this intake form ahead of your initial consultation to ascertain what clinical testing needs to be done in order to assess your physiology and find PATTERNS.
​
What happens in my initial consultation?
​
When you meet with Dr. Rooks for the first time, your are essentially interviewing each other and giving each other a chance to understand and connect the dots to establish a clear picture of your health struggles and how you got them.
​
This consultation typically lasts 45-60 minutes, and can be conducted virtually from wherever you are in the world. At the end of this first visit you will receive the doctor's clinical testing or assessment recommendations whether it be​:
​​
-
stool testing
-
salivary hormone testing
-
blood work
-
food allergy testing
-
mood, brain, or hormonal assessment
​
With the results from the above testing, Dr. Rooks puts together a Plan of Action that is specific to YOU, which is called the Life & Health Restoration Program. This work is included in the value of your very first visit. It covers the time that you spend talking about your story and your concerns, and the assessment of your treatment needs, which determines where you fall within our different tiers of programs.
​
How much does the initial consultation cost?
​​
-
Warrior Wellness: This online course is just $597. It provides ALL of Dr. Rooks' instructions to get started, at a fraction of the time and cost of in-person sessions. You also have the option to bundle your intial consultation with Dr. Rooks for $997. Learn more...
-
Appointment Deposit: When you schedule the initial consultation, we will take a credit card to put on file. This is to charge a $75 deposit, only in the event of last minute cancellation or no-show.
-
Initial Consultation: $400 for the one-hour appointment to address your health history and personal recommendations for testing
-
Lab work: Depending on what clinical assessments and labs are ordered, the remaining cost ranges from $500-600 for the test kits and lab work. Insurance coverage varies.
​
Speaking of INSURANCE, am I covered?
​​
This type of work is often OVERLOOKED in the modern "sick care" model. And unfortunately, that is the model that health insurance has been designed for. However:
​
-
We can use your general health insurance to order your blood labs.
-
Your Health Spending / Health Savings / Flex Spending accounts are 100% usable at our office.
-
Some of our lab companies do bill insurance to cover the cost of testing, though certain testing is typically not covered if it is considered "not medically necessary."
-
If your insurance does not cover something, we work with a co-operative lab that can typically price the blood work at 10-15% of what normal insurance-based labs would charge.
-
On average, our work tends to get 50/50 coverage by insurance companies for both office time and supplementation.
-
Our office provides receipts for all services rendered with appropriate diagnosis codes that you can submit to your insurance company.
​
I had my initial consultation, NOW WHAT?
​
If Dr. Rooks accepts your case, you will leave your first visit with an understanding of the tests that must be performed, with the price points, and you will get your functional testing done.

​
What do I do after my testing?
​
Once you do your testing and mail in the kits, you will call our office to schedule your follow-up appointment, the Report of Findings, in about three weeks depending on the testing performed.
​
Upon receipt of your lab results, Dr. Rooks takes about 30-45 minutes to integrate the information from your history, your visit, and clinical findings for your Report of Findings visit.
​
What happens at the Report of Findings Visit?
​
This is your 2nd visit, which typically lasts an hour. It includes:
​
-
Evaluation of your case and analysis of all lab findings (Doctor's Fee: $500)
-
Presentation of your personal Life & Health Restoration Program and treatment protocols
-
Discussion of total cost of this personal care plan and our financing options​
​
How much do the Care Plans cost?
​
