"I treat my patients as if they are a part of my own family, giving them respect and helping them make informed health care decisions."

What forms of payment are accepted?
Cash or check are preferred.
Credit cards are accepted, as well as Health Savings accounts.
Do you accept insurance?
I do not accept insurance. I am able to keep my costs down by providing a cash-only service. I supply the needed information to you to submit to your insurance, and I am happy to help with minor questions to aid in getting you reimbursed.
Are walk-in appointments possible?
No. I provide consults by appointment only.
Are you a family practice clinic?
No. While I am certified in family practice, I am not offering that type of care in this setting.
Why are your lab costs so different than at a hospital or clinic?
I contract with a reference lab in Des Moines (this is where our local hospitals send their blood for testing, if they aren't able to perform the test locally) with cash pricing. The hospital bills me directly for the tests I order, which in turn, is more cost effective for everyone.
How do I schedule an appointment?
You can schedule an appointment by completing the online form or by messaging Jill on Facebook.
Health is not just the absence of disease,
but a state of profound and resilient positive vitality.
Unique DNA
We are all different and genetically and biochemically unique and have to be treated as such.
Integrated
Everything in our body is inter-connected. Understanding this allows us to see deep into the functioning of the body.
Self-Regulation
Your body has the capacity for self-regulation, expressing itself through a dynamic balance of your body systems.
Prevention
We have the capacity to enhance and optimize our organ reserve and prevent nearly all the disease of aging.
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine treats the person who has the disease, not the disease that the person has.
It uses the latest scientific understanding about how our genetics, environment, and lifestyle interact as a whole system to diagnose and treat diseases based on patterns of imbalance and dysfunction.
Functional medicine is deeply science-based. It has emerged from new discoveries in what we call systems biology — the understanding of the deep interconnections of the basic systems of the body. Systems biology is so important that it’s a key part of the agenda of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and their New Roadmap Initiative.
