FAQ's
Here are answers to the most common questions I receive but you can also reach out by email if you have more specific questions
christine@christinemathesonND.com
Q - Are your services covered by medical benefit plans or by OHIP?
A - Yes-medical benefit plans often cover naturopathic medicine. I bill as a naturopathic doctor only and provide you with a receipt that you can submit.
And no unfortunately, naturopathic medicine is not covered by OHIP yet.
Q - Do you only see women and children as patients?
A - My expertise and clinical knowledge is particularly focused on women and children but I have run a family medicine practice for many years with experience supporting all members of the family. Therefore book a free 15 min discovery session so we can discuss how and if I can best help you.
Q - How often are is it suggested to have appointments with you?
A - That answer is dependent on the nature of your needs and how complex your health concerns are. My aim is to be as efficient as possible with your time but care taking your health is a process that can take time and maintenance.
For Belly Be Well Patients- Ideally 2 appointments a month for the first 3 months is suggested and then appointments can be spaced out more.
For Naturopathic Appointments- Typically seeing you 2 times in the first month to get you started is a sensible plan and then appointments can be more spread out depending on your needs.
Q - How quickly could I start feeling better and see results?
A - This will depend on your unique medical history, present concerns and the level of vitality you have when we start working together. It also is directly linked to your level of commitment to implementing changes in your life and how gradually you integrate change and how consistently you practice self-care. Having said that the majority of my patients can feel a difference within a couple of weeks and most often within three months.
Q - Are phone consultations possible?
A -The first appointment is required to be in person and after that phone consultations are absolutely possible except in the case where it may be essential for me to have a visualize exam of a symptom or obviously when an appointment includes hands-on treatments such as Arvigo ® Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy which must be in person.
Phone consultations are an excellent, convenient and valuable way for us to keep you on track, monitor your progress and for me to answer any questions that may come up for you. Since life can be busy and you may be juggling family commitments, phone consultations are a wonderful solution that I encourage often in my practice for patient follow-up appointments. I offer a variety of times for phone consults during the week for you to choose from.
Q - If I am planning to undergo conventional fertility treatments, can I still benefit from Arvigo ® Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy treatments?
A - Yes but the timing is key. Arvigo ® Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy treatments are ideal and only safe in preparing you for conventional fertility treatments but not advised to do simultaneously. Therefore the ideal plan is to start well before your conventional treatments commence so that we have time to prime your body and enhance your fertility (ie. 2-3 months or more). I have on occasion helped women just a few weeks or days before their fertility treatments or procedures which may have been beneficial but possibly not as beneficial if there was more time allowed.
