At our clinic, we are committed to ensuring that all treatment decisions are made with your best interests in mind. We do not have financial relationships with medication producers, nor do we promote any specific range of natural medications. This allows us to carefully consider all available options and select the most appropriate treatment for your unique needs.
Our clinic is purely funded by the consultation fees that you pay, which means that our prescribing decisions are never influenced by external financial incentives. Unlike other clinics that may be motivated to prescribe more expensive medications that benefit the clinic, we focus solely on your health and well-being. We believe this approach not only fosters trust but also ensures that you receive the most effective and cost-efficient treatment available.
By prioritizing transparency and ethical practices, we provide you with a treatment plan based on clinical evidence and your individual needs—without hidden costs or conflicts of interest
You are free to fill your prescription at the pharmacy of your choice (but only our Tasmanian based doctors' prescriptions can be filled within Tasmania). If you need assistance, we can provide guidance on reputable pharmacies to use. Our team is here to support you throughout your journey, from start to finish.
