US insurance companies do not typically cover naturopathic care.  Insurance does, however, cover laboratory tests offered in our office once your deductible has been met. Watch this video to avoid surprises if you need testing.

Many of our patients are able to use their Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account towards our services and products.  Many of our European patients are able to claim services and products from their international insurance since their countries recognize the importance that Natural Medicine plays in disease prevention and addressing chronic ailments. We encourage you to continue to check with your insurance company to confirm as it may change in the future.

“The best health care combines self-care with professional advice” Tom Ferguson

Dr. Roberts strives to make the most of the time she spends with you.

Your first 45 minute individual consultation will allow Dr. Roberts to gather all the detailed information she needs from your past including: medical, family, drug, socio-economic, occupational, environmental, mental, emotional, spiritual, diet and lifestyle as well as discussing all physiological systems and symptoms. This comprehensive evaluation enables Dr. Roberts to determine the aggravating and relieving factors as well as the underlying cause of your health condition.

During your 30-minute follow-up visits, Dr. Roberts will make the best recommendations for optimal results.  These may include her customized remedies, a supplement regimen, lifestyle, dietary and environmental changes, health education, cooking classes, meditation and inspiration or recommend further tests for a deeper understanding into your condition.   If appropriate, Dr. Roberts may also make a referral to other professionals in her vast network of holistic practitioners as part of a team approach to addressing your individual needs.

For your long term follow up care Dr. Roberts offers various options to meet your health and economic needs.  These may include wellness programs, mini-consults, email or phone communications or specific focused groups to keep you engaged and motivated to reach optimal health.

Many patients report improvement in as little as a couple of days to a week. Some remedies for acute infections and pain can resolve the symptoms instantly. For more lasting results we recommend that you stick with your treatment plan for a minimum of 3 months, during which you will visit with Dr. Roberts 4-6 times.

To resolve any condition on a much deeper level and to strengthen weak organs and systems, allow one month for every year that you had the condition.  For this you will need to see Dr. Roberts much less frequently – only every 6-8 weeks.  At the end of the day, it depends on your individual health goals, level of commitment, and how quickly you respond to care, which all differ from person to person.

Dr. Roberts will accommodate her patients dealing with a sudden onset of symptoms speedily, when you state when booking your appointment that the matter needs urgent attention.

Yes, Dr. Roberts will determine the appropriate form of application that tends to be a sublingual homeopathic and hydrosol spray and or homeopathic pellets, drops or herbal syrup with appropriate weight-related dose instructions.

Some have alcohol, where as others are glycerin extracts. The ones with alcohol have less alcohol than a ripe fermented banana in the recommended dosage if used as directed.  They are safe for kids to use as long as a parent administers it. If the taste bothers you, the alcohol will evaporate with heat and can be diluted more.  Please indicate if you are in recovery or have Religious beliefs that prohibit you from taking alcohol. Dr. Roberts will consider this in developing your formula.

Certain supplements and remedies are very useful and necessary to maintain a healthy pregnancy and breastfeeding. Dr. Roberts is trained to know which ones are safe or best to avoid while still addressing your other health concerns.

A Warm, Friendly, Welcoming, Uplifting, and Inspiring Wellness Centre that has a homey feel, decorated with invigorating colors and filled with pleasant scents.  Each room represents a season with a unique theme. These symbolize the changes we go through in life and how to embrace them healthily.

You enter the Seasonal Health Wellness Center through the warm, inviting, main reception/workshop room, also known as the Fall Room, with the theme “Harvest Health & Heart”.  This is the heart of the practice, where you harvest the fruits of all the healthy seeds you planted by investing in your health and celebrate having a new outlook on life.

There is an additional entrance through the Vibrant Health Kitchen, which is also known as the Summer Room “Growth & Fertility.”  No other nutritional office or wellness center in Hoboken has a facility for preparing and demonstrating healthy cooking.

The Apothecary in the back is the Winter Room with winter-berry and snow colors.  The Winter theme “Reflection & Preservation” is appropriate for this room because Winter is a time to reflect and the herbs preserve health.

The Seasonal Health Herbal Pharmacy is the only operating apothecary in Hoboken.  This is where Dr. Roberts creates customized remedies to provide optimal dosing and reduce patient costs associated with multiple supplements.  Dr. Roberts’ treatment plans incorporate a variety of ingredients carefully selected and formulated for your individual needs.

The Renewing Spring Room filled with fresh green colors is Dr. Roberts’ consultation and assessment room.  The Spring theme “Seeds for Change” encourages patients as they commit to change and sow their seeds for a new season of wellness.

My question to you in this regard is:  What is your health worth to you?

How much money and time have you spent on countless experts, tests, and over the counter crazes?  Have you tried the most popular diets, supplements, drugs?

Did you learn about them online or from a professional, caring doctor with a thorough understanding for what is truly going on with your body and what you need as an individual?

Professional fees are calculated according to the time you need with Dr. Roberts and the individual treatment plan you develop together.
