Consultations 

To help patients understand what happens at a consultation, the information below goes some way toward explaining the process. Remember that most homeopathic consultations and medicines can be claimed through your insurance, ask Dr Sofie.

Dr Sofie, your homeopathic physician, will confirm your appointment time and date before the consultation.

 

What happens: During the initial consultation, your homeopathic physician, Dr Sofie, will ask questions to create a confidential full medical history (anamnesis); this includes your physical exercise and dietary habits. An initial consultation usually takes about one hour.

 

Dr Sofie will advise if lab work is required for further diagnosis or detailed investigation by another specialist.

 

After the initial consultation, Dr Sofie will consider and evaluate all the information you provided during the initial consultation, as well as lab work or other investigation reports, to provide you with a treatment plan.

 

Treatment plan: All treatment plans are based on Dr Sofie’s findings and will most likely include a homeopathic medicine prescription, advice on dietary measures and nutraceuticals, lifestyle habits, and ways of exercising that she considers most beneficial for you.

 

The prescription and advice will be emailed to you. Always double-check that the email address provided to Dr Sofie is correct, and make sure you add her email address to your safe senders list.

 

Important: Please note that if you have been seen by Dr Sofie previously and it is over one year since you last had any consultation, homeopathic medicine, or advice from Dr Sofie, then an initial consultation is again required to be undertaken. This is to ensure that Dr Sofie has all your medical history, an overview of all previous medication and blood work, and medical reports.

 

This is a shorter consultation and will take roughly half an hour. Dr Sofie will discuss the initial symptoms and evaluate your progress. If Dr Sofie deems it necessary, she will request further bloodwork or other tests, including seeing another specialist.

 

This half-hour consultation ensures you are on the right track to healing and full recovery. It may be that Dr Sofie wishes to amend a previous prescription, which will be done after the follow-up consultation.

 

The follow-up consultation report and any prescription will be emailed to you. Please ensure your correct email address is provided.

 

As mentioned under the initial consultation section, if it has been more than one year since you last consulted with Dr Sofie, please book an initial consultation. This is because Dr Sofie requires more time to review your full case notes and consider what happened during the intervening period.

 

If you have consulted Dr Sofie previously and within the past year, please book an acute consultation.

 

What happens during an acute consultation: Your homeopathic physician, Dr. Sofie, will examine the smallest details, including your mental, emotional, and physical well-being, and advise if further investigation is required.

 

Once Dr Sofie has a full record of your unique history, she will evaluate your case and find the correct homeopathic remedy.

 

After the acute consultation, Dr Sofie will consider and evaluate all the information you provided during the acute consultation and lab work or other investigation reports to provide you with a treatment plan.

 

After the acute consultation, Dr Sofie will want to hear from you via WhatsApp to ensure you are on the right track.

 

After a further few days (this will be discussed at the time of the acute consultation) Dr Sofie will again want to hear from you to ensure all is well and that you are on the road to recovery. It may be that any new prescription requires amendment.  This consultation will take approximately 15 minutes.
