For your first physician visit, Dr. Kovalcik typically spends an hour with you and develops a plan for further diagnostic work-up using special laboratory and in-house testing. The plan starts with the basics, and goes from there to many useful tests to gather more information about you related to:
- Vitamin and Mineral Status
- Essential Fatty Acid Balance
- Toxic Mineral Loads
- Liver Function
- Natural Hormones
- Food Sensitivities
- Intracellular Minerals
- Anti Aging Hormones
- And other tests as needed
Your plan will be tailored to your needs, based on your history and conditions.
Care Plan
Dr. Kovalcik will outline patient instructions at each visit, with recommendations for diet, nutritional supplements, special testing, and detoxification plans, depending upon patient needs. It takes time to start making changes and see improvement. At first, while the information is being gathered, Dr. Kovalcik may need to see you more often. Once a plan is in place, office visits may become less frequent.

Our patients are Happy & Healthy

“Dr. Laura and Anne are amazing! My husband had been ill and getting worse, on day 18, we had a phone consult with Dr. Laura, she spent 30 minutes with us! Made great recommendations, ordered what he needed and we saw his health start gaining ground. These 2 medical warriors= THE BEST”
MaryAnn Nutt

“Dr Laura is the BEST! She uses critical thinking to help patients get well, while suggesting/prescribing a plan to support the God-given natural ability of the human body to heal itself, instead of being a typical drone doctor who is dictated by insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies who only treat symptoms. As for the jab and masks, I'm thankful that she is smart enough to know that masks do nothing to prevent viruses and actually can have the opposite effect, and that the Covid "shot" is dangerous to a person's future health.”
Amy Rechsteiner

“Great doctor that takes her time to hear your unique situation. She is a doctor but uses a more natural approach to help you. I am sure some people can’t understand that there are more ways to prevent/treat diseases than with drugs and she will give you all of your options. She didn’t push me one way or another but gave me my options for multiple types of treatments and ultimately, it’s my decision.”
