Congratulations! A mental choice to take the first step towards a health commitment has been made. So what lies on the road ahead? Here is a checklist to assist you.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS INVOLVED
At Pittsburgh Alternative Health, Inc. we want to encourage open communication without hidden messages or fees. Your choice to pursue health lies in the decisions you make. Our goal is to guide and teach you a lifestyle of health, while providing traditional naturopathic therapies to support your body to restore optimal performance and health.
Each initial client is encouraged to begin with EAV testing ($150) and a 1.5 hour comprehensive initial consult ($200) with Dr. Misak. This comprehensive consult includes an extensive health history review, physical exam with corrective spinal assessment, homeopathic review and remedy considerations, EAV balancing to potential toxins (if needed) and initial product and therapy recommendations.
We also offer a 30 minute Limited Initial Consult ($85). This Limited consult includes a brief health history review, limited physical exam, along with initial product and therapy recommendations.
It is best to come prepared to your initial visit by completing the new patient, homeopathic and digestive questionnaires — this can take 1-2 hours, so make the time to be as thorough as possible. The more clearly you present your health in the questionnaires, the better focus Dr. Misak can be on your needs. For children less than 12 years old, a children's homeopathic questionnaire should be completed. Additionally prior to your appointment, be sure to complete all consent forms, and bring or have your other doctor offices fax (412-563-2040) any lab or diagnostic testing results you have had performed on your search for health answers.
Consult time with Dr. Misak serves to provide you the opportunity to explain your health history and ask any questions. Dr. Misak will perform his examination then write out and explain his initial therapy recommendations and follow-up plan. The recommended EAV testing for food/chemical sensitivity takes approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, and lays the foundation for your diet and detoxification plan as you identify potential causative factors of your health concerns.
At completion of your appointment time, our friendly office staff will prepare your invoice for Dr. Misak's services and any supportive products you need.
MAKE AN APPOINTMENT
Appointments are best scheduled by calling our office at (412) 563-1600. Optionally, you may send an email with your contact information and best times for an appointment. Our office staff will review the email information and contact you to get you started.
JUMP START YOUR HEALTH
A primary part of your therapy and naturopathic lifestyle involves protecting yourself in today's toxic world. Dr. Misak teaches a focus on pure air, pure alkaline water, pure food and electromagnetic field (EMF) protection.
Incorporating the needed equipment for your protection is a necessity to achieve optimal health. Any products found on our Web site to provide you this protection, or to serve as a basic nutritional support, have been personally reviewed and used by Dr. Misak with the belief they are the best available in their category. Place your order today with the confidence of knowing you are moving in the right direction with your health.
FOLLOW UP
Failure to respond to what seems like the perfect plan provides as much information as the perfect response. Unfortunately, many look upon a poor response as lost hope in their health provider. The term "practice" of medicine is based on the individualized patient response and physician monitored observation of the response, followed with a new plan based on the physician's attempt to understand the patient individuality. In other words, "don't give up."
A general follow up visit schedule with Dr. Misak would be a 4-6 week post initial visit for chronic conditions, or 3-14 days for acute conditions. After response is evaluated, further visits are usually 1 month later for poor responses or 2-3 months later for positive responses.
Overall, it is recommended to monitor your care 4-6 times the first year then 2-3 times per year thereafter. Follow=up fees with Dr. Misak are reduced compared to initial fees to encourage follow through.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
KEEP FOCUSED ON YOUR HEALTH GOALS
We all have inner desires of what our personal optimal health would be. Create a clear mental picture of your health desires, write them down, and then write simple steps of choices you can make to work towards that goal based on your current understanding of what it will take to get there. Next, I encourage you to speak out loud everyday a personal positive statement regarding each goal, telling yourself that you are making progress and choices that bring you closer to your health desires. Finally, listen to your inner voice when good or bad health choices present themselves and have the faith and belief that your health desires will occur.
You can't reach a desired goal unless you believe it is possible, and make choices that lead you where you desire to go.
