From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

We pride ourselves on offering outstanding, friendly, professional patient centred care and service.

A full health / medical history will be gathered at the initial appointment, including a review of previous test results, key life events, environment, stress, nutrition and other lifestyle factors. Your health goals will be discussed, any further testing ordered and next steps agreed with your practitioner.

Coho Health patients have the option of taking single appointments, or one of our 12 week or 6 month care plans (packages of appointments plus support).

Based on our many years of experience, we achieve the clinical outcomes with our care plan packages, as we can offer more structured support to help address your health concern.
