FAQs
Q: What conditions do you treat?
A: ANY/ALL health issues. We serve patients of Maine and New Hampshire of all ages in all phases of health and illness.
Q: How long is the appointment?
A: In order to keep cost as low as possible it is brief call (typically under 20 minutes). We find this format to be helpful in avoiding INFORMATION OVERLOAD! Focusing on one or two recommendations can mean greater heath successes to build upon!
Q: Do you prescribe prescription medications?
A: We can, and rarely, yes, we do. We have a small list of prescriptions that we occasionally do prescribe. But we focus first on natural treatment options before resorting to prescription medications. Typically, there is great improvement (or complete resolution!) of symptoms/health before resorting to Rx meds. There are many websites where you can get prescription meds online (for around the same price as a Sage Well appointment), so if you are scheduling with Sage Well we would prefer you are curious about NATURAL methods as the first course of action; it is our area of expertise and passion!
Q: Do you only offer telemedicine (telephone appointments)?
A: For the initial appointment (and typically) yes, but you can discuss in-person options (including equine therapy) at subsequent appointments.
