The State of Colorado has an organized system for medical marijuana certification.  At its core, the State maintains an electronic registry where I enter your:

• qualifying medical condition
• dosage
• the amount and forms of marijuana authorized

An IN-PERSON encounter is required.  At this encounter, we'll review your medical history and I'll complete a physical exam.  I'll review medical history documents you have obtained.  Based on this encounter, we'll develop:

• A problem list (your current medical problems), and
• A treatment plan to address your problems.
  • We'll review the risks and benefits of medical marijuana for treating your qualifying medical conditions.
  • If you elect medical marijuana as a treatment option:
    • I'll have you complete and sign the standard Informed Consent form,
    • I'll enter you into the State registry,
    • I'll schedule you for a 3-6 month follow-up visit to assure your treatment plan is working.

My goal for you is to NOT ONLY provide a review of your health status to certify you for MMJ.  Meeting you, listening to your history, examining you, and developing a health plan for you means I am invested in your whole-health.  I am prepared to be your primary care doctor and will deliver both routine health care needs as well as chronic disease screening and treatment coordination.  I provide this care at an Affordable price, recognizing the difficulties patients face in paying for health insurance and routine medical care.

I take your health seriously and expect you equally invested in your health.

How will your Appointment work?

After you make your online appointment, I'll contact you to have you complete a medical history form and acquire medical history documents that pertain to your medical condition.

BRING THESE THINGS TO YOUR APPOINTMENT:

• • A picture ID.
  • If you are taking a prescription medication, please bring the bottle(s) with you.
  • Please have your preferred pharmacy in mind so I can electronically transmit future prescriptions.
• NEW PATIENTS:
  • My goal for you is to arrive at a preliminary working diagnosis
    • To do so, I will need medical records from doctors you have seen previously.
    • I’ll send you a Release of Information form to complete and send to those doctors.
    • They will fax me your records and I’ll add them to your electronic chart.
  • Many times, I can determine your working diagnosis by hearing about your past problems
  • Your physical exam will be used to detect other medical problems and to confirm your established problems.
  • Together, we'll develop a Medical Problem List and a Treatment Plan that is personalized for you.  This Plan will address:
    • your current medications
    • screening for other diseases
    • the role medical marijuana plays in your health.
  • If you elect Medical Marijuana as a treatment option, we'll complete the process described above.
  • Medicine prescriptions that your require will electronically transmitted to your preferred pharmacy
  • I will direct you to educational materials.
  • We will arrive at a follow-up day for your next appointment, usually in 3-6 months.
    • At that appointment, we will discuss your response to your Treatment Plan and adjust it as needed.

Ok!  See you soon and stay safe!
