Consultations
Dr Gupta is currently available for consultations at the following locations:
Medicine on Second (Sunshine Coast) – Monday to Thursdays – (07) 5443-9455 – Medicare rebates available.
The consultation starts by filing out a comprehensive questionnaire to pin-point the primary areas of concern currently, so the consultation can be streamlined and relevant information available.
The initial consultation generally will last one hour. In addition to a thorough medical assessment, your consultations involve a thorough assessment of diet & nutritional state, exercise & lifestyle, stress management and thought processes. Clients come out of a consultation with a more thorough understanding of their personal bodily makeup and how to tailor their lifestyle to this makeup. The end point of the initial consultation is a comprehensive treatment plan which is formulated collaboratively with you. The basis of a healing program and diet and lifestyle so generally my emphasis is on this area. Supplements or medications are only supplementary and not the key to making the shift from an unwell terrain to a healthy vibrant one.
It is our policy to work together with specialists or other natural health practitioners who may be involved the client’s care.Our aim to address the cause behind your health challenges, not focusing on symptoms. These changes that occur through shifting your diet and lifestyle may take some time to have effect, and medication may need to be continued until real healing has started to occur. The body’s natural speed of healing is often gradual, therefore patience and perseverance is needed. We are here to support you on this journey.
We offer basic and advanced laboratory testing on all clients. Basic testing is offered through local laboratories and is often bulk billed. Specialized tests include nutrient testing, salivary hormone testing,and tests of liver metabolism, food intolerance and intestinal flora. These will usually attract Medicare benefits, and have a gap fee. The purpose of these tests is to identify any areas that may act as blocks to the body’s healing.
Consultation fees are privately billed. Medicare rebates are generally available. A schedule of fees is available. I look forward to being of assistance.
