In-person visits include a nutritional-based physical exam. An initial assessment is provided and testing is commonly recommended. The fee for the new patient visit is $315.

(Not covered by insurance). LLLT has been found to be an effective treatment option for those with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Studies and our clinical experience finds that patients often experience a reduction in thyroid antibodies, healthier thyroid tissues, and often a reduction in thyroid medication.
