Frequently Asked Questions

Do you take health insurance?

No. This is a private wellness practice and services are not billed to insurance. Payment is due at the time of your visit.

Are you a holistic doctor?

Pauline holds an NMD (doctorate in naturopathic medicine) and has practiced naturopathy for 45 years. Nevada does not license naturopathic practitioners, so she works as a wellness consultant — she is not a physician and is not licensed, certified or registered as a provider of health care in the State of Nevada. People searching for "holistic doctors" in the Las Vegas area often find that this consultative, natural approach is exactly what they were looking for.

What happens at a first appointment?

Your first visit is a relaxed, one-on-one consultation of about an hour. You'll talk through your wellness goals and history, complete any assessments that fit your needs, and leave with personalized, natural suggestions.

What if I have a medical emergency?

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. This practice does not provide urgent or emergency medical care.

Can children be seen?

Yes — clients of all ages are welcome, accompanied by a parent or guardian. Call the office to discuss what is appropriate for your child.

Do you work with clients who have serious medical conditions?

Pauline works alongside — never instead of — your medical team. Wellness consultations can complement the care you receive from your physicians, and she will always encourage you to continue that care.

Do you sell hormones like testosterone or estrogen?

No. Pauline does not prescribe or sell hormones or any prescription products. She works with homeopathic and nutritional products only.

How do I prepare for my appointment?

See the Before Your Visit page — and if you take any medication or supplement, call the office first for preparation instructions.
