Our care is designed to create lasting improvements in your health and everyday life.

2. Do you accept insurance?

We are not currently in network with insurance plans. Patients may request a superbill to submit for possible reimbursement depending on their benefits. Our direct care model allows us to provide more time, thorough evaluations, and truly personalized care that is not limited by insurance restrictions.

3. How do I schedule an appointment?

You can schedule appointments through our online booking system at any time. Patients located in Connecticut Massachusetts and New York can easily access virtual visits. Many begin with a complimentary consultation or an initial telehealth visit to review health concerns and wellness goals. You can also call or text 203 516 7160 if you prefer to schedule by phone.

4. What should I expect at my first visit?

Your provider conducts a focused assessment, reviews your medical history and lifestyle, and discusses your health goals. Together, we create a plan tailored to your needs.

Your Healthcare Partner will take a full health history and explore lifestyle influences, nutrition habits, and current symptoms. You will have time to discuss what you are experiencing and what you hope to achieve. Together we design a personalized care plan that supports healing for your mind and body. We want you to feel valued and heard from the moment you begin care with us.

Not always. Connecticut Health and Wellness encourages the use of the most effective and least invasive treatment options that align with your needs. Our plans often include individualized nutrition strategies, lifestyle guidance, professional grade supplements, and when necessary prescription therapies. You receive a thoughtful approach that respects your personal health goals.

6. How long are appointments?

Complimentary Discovery Calls are approximately 15 minutes. Initial appointments are approximately 60 minutes. Follow up visits typically range from 30 minutes to 60 minutes depending on your care plan. We believe that time is an essential part of quality healthcare and your visits are never rushed.

7. Can I continue seeing my primary care provider or specialist?

Yes. You may continue all relationships with your current providers. We believe in collaborative care and we are happy to coordinate communication with your doctors to support continuity and comprehensive wellness.

Yes. We provide secure virtual visits for patients across Connecticut Massachusetts and New York. Telehealth offers convenient access to high quality functional and primary care support whether you are at home in Fairfield County or in surrounding regions throughout the tri state area.

11. What conditions do you treat?

Connecticut Health and Wellness supports patients with gut health concerns, hormone imbalance, thyroid disorders, weight management challenges, fatigue, inflammation, autoimmune conditions, mental wellness concerns, and metabolic issues. We evaluate how lifestyle and environment impact health and create a plan that supports healing from the inside out.

13. What is the difference between functional medicine and traditional primary care?

Traditional primary care often focuses on diagnosing a condition and treating symptoms. Functional medicine looks at the whole person including lifestyle, nutrition, stress levels, environment, and underlying imbalances. It helps patients understand why symptoms are occurring and creates a plan to optimize long term wellness and prevent future disease.

14. What age groups do you serve?

We currently provide care for adults eighteen years and older who are located in Connecticut Massachusetts or New York. Our approach is especially helpful for individuals seeking more time, education, and holistic support for their health concerns.

15. What makes your practice different from other clinics?

Connecticut Health and Wellness provides longer visits, focused care for the whole person, personalized treatment plans, and an approach that seeks meaningful improvement rather than quick symptom relief. You receive direct communication with a Nurse Practitioner who listens closely and designs treatment with your goals in mind. Our roots are in Fairfield County Connecticut and we remain committed to serving individuals and families throughout the region and beyond.

16. Do you prescribe weight loss medications such as Ozempic (semaglutide) or Zepbound (tirzepatide)?

We provide medically supervised weight loss programs that may include medications such as semaglutide when clinically appropriate. These programs include nutrition guidance, lifestyle support, and regular follow up to promote sustainable progress and long term health improvement.

17. Can you help with thyroid or hormone imbalance?

Yes. Thyroid disorders and hormonal imbalance are common causes of persistent fatigue, weight changes, mood shifts, and reduced quality of life. We provide testing when needed along with personalized treatment plans designed to restore balance and support optimal functioning.

18. Can telehealth support complex health concerns?

Telehealth provides high quality care for many chronic and functional concerns including digestive issues, metabolic imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, and endocrine concerns. For situations that require in person evaluation or testing, we will guide you to the most appropriate local resource.

19. How soon can I begin feeling better?

Many patients begin noticing improvements in energy, digestion, mental clarity, and sleep quality within weeks of starting care. Long term success continues with ongoing support and lifestyle change that is realistic and aligned with your personal goals.

Yes. Nutrition plays a central role in functional medicine. We offer individualized nutrition guidance and access to high quality supplements when they are beneficial for healing. Each recommendation is tailored to your needs and monitored for effectiveness.

Many patients are able to use their flexible spending account or health savings account funds to cover eligible medical expenses. We recommend checking with your plan for specific details.
