Two hours are set aside for your initial consultation. When you make your first appointment, we will send you a questionnaire. The questions are designed to help you give Dr. Hesse a sense of who you are as an individual. Dr. Hesse will thoroughly review your responses immediately before your first meeting with him. While you wait, we would like to take your photograph; then when we open your chart, the first thing we see is—YOU. The consultation will include dialogue concerning your history, current circumstances and your wishes or intentions for the future, as well as a physical exam. On the basis of this classic foundation of medical practice, Dr. Hesse will assess how best to help you move in a therapeutic direction. This assessment will lead to recommendations of anthroposophic medicines. He may also suggest therapies such as rhythmical massage, eurythmy, music, oil dispersion baths or mistletoe therapy. At times, it is also helpful to consider lifestyle or dietary modifications. Our waiting room is very child-friendly with natural crayons, books and toys so while the children play in a supervised environment their parents can spend optimal time with Dr. Hesse.
