From the practitioner: About My Practice

Elysion Health and Wellness is a practice that offers both primary care and functional medicine in one package. This is a membership based program that offers value in the integrative medicine space. Patients have access to office personnel through text messages, emails, phone calls and the patient portal. Same or next day appointments can usually be arranged especially for urgent matters with no waiting time. The clinic is membership-based to encourage good continuity of care and patient support to a path of wellness. Membership fees cover 16 in person visits per year, telemedicine visits as needed, extended functional medicine evaluations and follow up, tailored weight loss with usual standard of medical care provided.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

Elysion health and Wellness is a membership care model. Our visits are extended to delve into the root cause of illness. The initial visit lasts between 90-120 minutes to complete a full functional medicine evaluation. We offer a membership model because it takes several months of patient commitment and support to ensure a path to wellness is achieved. We would like to have all patient information available at least 24 hrs prior to visits. We do offer text/email and call support for the duration of membership and Dr. Gibson is available after hours for urgent matters. Membership fees are either paid on a monthly or yearly basis. We do not take insurance for memberships but HSA/FSA usually covers this service depending on plan.
