Dr. Evans is a functional medicine consultant that works in conjunction with your primary care provider.  She requires you to have a primary care provider for all routine care including screening tests, acute illnesses, and emergencies.

New Beginnings Functional Medicine Clinic and Dr. Evans are not participants in any insurance plan. We are currently unable to accept any patients on Medicaid. We apologize for the inconvenience.

In order to serve you best, forms and paperwork need to be filled out at least 24 hours before your first scheduled appointment.

Dr. Evans needs to review your medical intake information in order to have a productive first appointment to understand what root cause(s) are likely contributing to / causing your symptoms and / or disease and discuss how to investigate further with lab work that is tailored to you.

We will send you an email reminder 72 hours before your appointment. Please inform us of cancellation at least 48 hours prior to your scheduled appointment. Please note that there is a $250 fee for no-show appointments or canceling after the 48-hour time frame.

Payment is expected at the time of service. All major credit cards, cash, and checks are accepted.

Yes, you may choose alternative sources, but make sure you are getting high-quality supplements.

New Beginnings Functional Medicine Clinic has an online dispensary with Full Scripts and Xymogen, which carry the highest quality supplements and are third-party tested for purity.

These supplements are stored in trusted temperature-controlled facilities, which other retailers selling supplements do not provide. Temperature is critical to the integrity and effectiveness of supplements.

After scheduling your initial discovery visit, you will receive an email to log onto the Living Matrix to fill out very thorough, comprehensive questionnaires that can take up to 90 minutes. You do not have to fill these out all at once. You can save your information and come back to the questionnaire at a later time.

The reason for the thorough questionnaire is that chronic disease and symptoms take a long time to develop. This is why Dr. Evans needs to know your very detailed story. Please use a laptop or desktop to complete your online questionnaires — tablets and smartphones are not currently compatible.
