Welcome to Unique Health - Guiding you on your journey through hormone replacement, wellness and so much more.

Welcome to Unique Health.

We are so incredibly excited to bring you our very best wellness, hormone, hormone replacement therapy, and weight loss tips (and so much more!) We hope to be a part of your journey to a brighter, happier, healthier, more vibrant YOU.


Why did I create Unique Health? Well, for starters I come from a background as a Nurse Practitioner and have been in the medical field for over 31 years! I've quite literally seen it all, the good, the bad, and the ugly. But while helping people is truly the light and joy of this profession, the paperwork, politics, and dealing with insurance companies was most certainly, not. While many people think that insurance always looks out for your best interest, there is a hidden battle between heathcare providers and insurance companies where healthcare providers often struggle and have to submit claims over and over again just to be reimbursed for the work they are doing. It often results in less time they are able to spend with patients... and less time that they can truly commit to your care.

These challenges in the healthcare system led me to create Unique Health, where we have a vision for a higher standard of healthcare with a few key highlights:


  1. Wellness Focus: We are not the 'medicate and send you on your way' type. We take the time to get to know you, your lifestyle, your habits, what you want to change, what we need to work on, and so much more. We commit to work on your wellness with you (you need to put in the work too!)
  2. Time: Have you ever been to a doctor's visit where you spend 20 minutes with the nurse practitioner and then 3.5 minutes with the doctor? We don't love that kind of medicine either. We are committed to getting to know you and learn about your health concerns, without trying to run out the door to the next patient.
  3. Cash Based Care: As a unique component of our practice (which more and more practices are opting for by the day), we are a cash based practice and do not work with insurance companies. What does this mean for us? It means we don't need to hire a staff member to literally sit on the phone with insurance companies all day. It means we get to spend more time caring for and working with YOU, our patient. It means that all of our recommendations are based solely on your wellness and what we believe is in the best interest of your health, NOT just what insurance companies are willing to reimburse. It means less expensive care for you overall because we get to put in the time and the work to get to the roots of your concerns right away, rather than spending 3 minutes with you per visit accomplishing nothing!
