Thyroid hormone imbalances can contribute to uncomfortable symptoms. We take time to understand your history and concerns and develop an individualized care plan for:

Low energy, brain fog, weight gain, insomnia, low libido, and irregular cycles can keep you from enjoying your life. Addressing hormonal imbalances can help:

Perineural Injections
Perineural Injection Therapy (PIT) is offered for certain pain concerns, including nerve pain, migraines, TMJ and low back pain. Talk with your clinician about whether this treatment is appropriate for you, including its potential benefits, risks and alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Dr. Shafferman looks at you as a whole person and, with a lot of questions and some fact-finding, she puts together a comprehensive treatment plan tailored specifically to you.
Her treatment strategies incorporate acupuncture, botanical medicine, nutritional counseling, and hydrotherapy, and she can make individualized recommendations for lifestyle habits, nutrition, supplements, and medications.
-
We are not contracted with any insurance companies because we don’t like the restraints they put on your care. We prefer to have that freedom to spend as much time needed with our patients, and don’t want insurance limitations to define that time.
We will work with you to have labs and imaging covered for you by your insurance company. While we do not bill insurance directly, we provide you with a Superbill that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. Most patients have success with reimbursement from their insurance, and we are happy to help you through that process.
-
We accept all large credit cards, cash and check along with FSA or HSA. We also accept CareCredit at our office. CareCredit is a convenient healthcare credit card which offers flexible financing and can be used to pay for deductibles, treatments, and other out-of-pocket expenses not covered by insurance*.
* Subject to credit approval. Minimum monthly payments required. See carecredit.com for details.
-
Initial Visit: Dr. Shafferman will spend up to 90 minutes with you, diving into your medical history, reviewing any old labs and previous imaging, and discussing your current health goals.
Treatment Visit: Following your initial visit, Dr. Shafferman will review comprehensive lab and imaging results with you in your Treatment Visit. She will discuss treatment recommendations and may offer hands-on treatments during this visit.
Follow Ups: After you’ve established care in your initial and treatment visit, all standard follow-ups are 30-45 minute appointments in which Dr. Shafferman will check in on your progress, review simple labs such as a thyroid panel, or make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
-
If you need clarification on a single topic, we classify that as a quick question. The best way to get this answered is to message Dr. Shafferman directly via your patient portal on Charm.
An appointment is required when you have a multitude of questions, when we are addressing new or different symptoms, or when we are making any changes to your treatment plan – all of which require the doctor to provide documentation in your chart. If you are in need of a follow up, simply call our office and we will get you scheduled for our next available appointment!
