What to Expect. How to Start.

Comprehensive Intake and Assessment

Your care begins with a thorough and detailed intake. We will review your current symptoms, health history, family history, and relevant lifestyle and psychosocial factors. This conversation is an important opportunity to understand the full picture of your health.

Dr. Ali will ask in-depth questions to better understand your concerns and encourages you to ask questions at any point during the process.

When appropriate, laboratory testing may be recommended. This can include requisitioned blood work or a list of suggested investigations for more complex cases. Physical examinations may also be performed during the initial visit when clinically relevant.

Building Your Treatment Plan

Following your appointment, Dr. Ali carefully reviews all collected information to develop a comprehensive and individualized treatment plan.

Plans are detailed and designed to provide you with both clear direction and a strong understanding of your care options, allowing you to make informed decisions about your health.

Your treatment plan will be delivered securely through the Jane App or via email, depending on your preference.

Plan Review and Adjustment

After you have had time to review your treatment plan, we will meet to discuss implementation. This visit allows for clarification, refinement, and adjustment of the plan to ensure it aligns with your needs, preferences, and goals.

Implementation

You will follow your treatment plan over a defined period of time. This phase is focused on applying the recommended strategies and observing how your body responds.

Follow Ups and Ongoing Support

Follow-up appointments are an essential part of the process. During these visits, we assess your progress, identify what is working well, and adjust areas that may need refinement.

Treatment plans evolve over time—this may include introducing new strategies, modifying existing ones, or transitioning to maintenance as your health improves. Supplements or interventions targeting resolved concerns may be reduced or discontinued.

These visits also provide ongoing guidance, support, and accountability to help you stay on track.

RATES AND INSURANCE

Dr. Ali is very cost-aware. People of all budgets deserve to feel well. If money is tight and some options are not affordable, let Dr. Ali know, and she will do her best to keep costs down. ​

Naturopathic Medicine is private medicine and thus is not covered by MSP (there are some exceptions). Patients pay for their appointments at the end of each appointment. Debit, Mastercard, Visa, Apple Pay and Google Pay are accepted in the downtown clinic. A credit card is accepted in the Midtown clinic.

Naturopathic care is covered by most extended health care plans, either completely or in part. Direct billing is available through many insurers. Check this list to see if your insurer is set up with the clinic for direct billing.

Dr. Ali cannot guarantee your claim will be accepted by your insurer immediately. Spontaneous claims are reviewed before payout on occasion at the discretion of your insurance provider.

An up-to-date list of rates can be found on each office's booking page.​​​​​

If lab work or imaging is needed, that is paid for by the patient or their private insurance. Prices are determined by the lab and vary based on what is being tested. Dr. Ali will tell you how much the lab will charge for any tests considered before they are run, so there are no surprises. Most tests are quite affordable, but there are situations where more expensive tests may be desired. Labs must be paid for before a requisition is given.

​Dr. Ali does not sell supplements. Supplements are often recommended; they can be purchased from online retailers or local suppliers. The links provided in treatment plans are for convenience and clarity and do not provide Dr. Ali with any cuts or kickbacks. Dr. Ali does not receive any compensation from any dispensary, and patients are welcome and encouraged to seek out better pricing at other stores if they like.
