Scheduling Call 406-259-5096 to schedule an appointment for medical services.  Appointments are generally available up until an hour before clinic closing, but may vary depending on individual doctor schedules or the desired service.

Let us know at the time of scheduling if you’re a new patient or if you have a specific health concern.  You may ask for a specific ND, or we can assign you the first available appointment with the doctor best able to meet your needs.

Pre-Care Consult If you’re unsure that naturopathic care is right for you, you may schedule a free, 15-minute, in-person or phone consultation with one of our doctors.  We’ll answer questions and provide general information during this consult but will not provide diagnosis or treatment.

Check-In Upon arrival for an appointment, check in at the main YNC reception desk, located to the right as you enter the clinic building from the north.

Cancellations If you can’t keep a scheduled appointment, let us know as soon as possible so we may give this time to another patient.  You will be charged for appointments with Dr. Beeson that are cancelled with less than 48 hours notice, and for appointments with other doctors that are cancelled with less than 24 hours notice.

First ND Visit Your first visit with an ND will last 90 minutes.  The doctor will visit with you in detail about your health concerns, pertinent past medical history, current medications, and lifestyle. S/he will also address any acute health problems, and may 1) ask you to sign a release authorizing the clinic to receive your medical records from other physicians, and 2) discuss and arrange for laboratory tests to be done before your second visit.   If you live more than 1-1/2 hours away, you may choose to have your first ND visit by phone.

Second ND Visit Your second ND appointment will last 90 minutes ─ plus 15 minutes if you are scheduled for a Pap exam.  During this visit, your doctor will conduct a comprehensive physical examination, review with you any laboratory results and relevant medical records, address the underlying causes of any acute health problems, and devise an individual treatment plan to start you on the road to better health.

Subsequent Visits Subsequent visits (usually lasting 45-60 minutes) will be scheduled as per doctor recommendations and your individual treatment plan.  At minimum, we recommend an annual checkup for every patient.

In-Care Phone Consults Unless your physician needs to see you in person, you may schedule telephone consults with your doctor in lieu of in-person visits. Consults in excess of 5 minutes will be billed to your account.
