Why we don't order every lab

Some practices start every new patient with a large panel of tests. We don't. More testing is not always better.

Every test should answer a question

Testing should help answer a clinical question or guide your treatment plan. So before anything is ordered, we talk about why a lab or test is being considered and what it could change about your care.

You see the price first

NP Apothecary is a self-pay practice. Whenever possible, we review pricing options with you before a test is ordered, so there are no surprises.

No packages to become a patient

You will not be asked to commit to expensive testing packages, long-term contracts, or a predetermined supplement program simply to become a patient. We start with you: your concerns, priorities, medical history, goals and budget, and build from there.

Shared decisions

Emily explains your options, the potential benefits and limitations, and the cost when possible, so you can make informed choices about your care.
