Initial Medical Cannabis Evaluation

Initial Medical Cannabis Evaluations are for patients who want to qualify for a medical cannabis card. Please see the FAQ section for details on qualifications. In general this is for patients that have had a chronic, ongoing condition for which they have already been seeing a provider or specialist for. While we will not be diagnosing conditions in the office due to the chronic nature of a lot of the conditions, we have arranged for telehealth referrals to a qualified mental health professional that we will work along side of for those who feel like they may have post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that is undiagnosed. We will also be able to assist patients with setting this up while at the office.

Please note: There is a $50 consultation fee charged to hold the appointment. This consultation fee is credited towards the $125 charge. If you do not qualify for a medical cannabis card during your evaluation, you will not pay the remaining $75 for the appointment.

Follow-up Consultation

Follow up appointments will be available for patient’s who desire a more personalized approach to their medical cannabis journey. While cannabis can be very beneficial in many ways, guidance is helpful so that your experience can be a positive one especially if you are brand new to cannabis. Dosing cannabis can be imprecise initially and complex due to the varieties and forms that can produce various effects. Please let us support you!
