Integrative GP Consultations

Integrative GP consultations in Anthroposophical Medicine.

Working together on an illness means hearing about your health history (what has worked and what has been ineffective), your biography, what is meaningful to you and your intentions for the future—really listening, and then trying to build a bigger picture.

What does working with Dr. Lisa look like? A first visit is typically 60-minutes. A lot of that is spent listening and discussing, seeing what your patterns are for both illness and healing. Then we make a therapeutic plan. A follow-up visit is recommended about 4 weeks later, then again after another 6-12 weeks. A typical treatment course often lasts 3-6 months, making adjustments along the way. It takes time because we are not just trying to change a symptom, but create better balance and resilience.

Anthroposophic treatments for adults have been shown not just to reduce symptoms but also to improve quality of life.

We recognize that medicine works better when it is built on a real, human, face-to-face encounter and relationship and we encourage it whenever possible. Medicare rebates for telehealth/telephone consults are available when a patient has been seen by the doctor face-to-face in last 12 months.
