Real care starts with a real clinical evaluation.
Your health history and goals are reviewed by an independent, licensed healthcare professional who determines whether treatment is appropriate for you. Treatment recommendations and prescribing decisions are based on clinical judgment — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Completing an intake does not guarantee a prescription. Treatment is prescribed only when a licensed healthcare professional determines that it is clinically appropriate.
