Medical Cannabis and CBD Consultations

Medical Marijuana Evaluations and CBD Consultations

Medical cannabis (medical marijuana) has emerged as an important and complex ‘new’ therapeutic option for patients with a variety of medical conditions. As a medical cannabis specialist, my services include MMJ evaluations and medical marijuana physician certifications, for patients in Colorado. Likewise, my practice offers medical cannabis and CBD consultations available to anyone, not just residents of Colorado.

For some people, it can feel difficult to find a trusted source of accurate information on medical marijuana.

Since 2011, I have been partnering with my clients, to determine how medical marijuana can be used as a therapeutic option. We work together using an integrative and personalized approach to evaluate the best treatment options.

During consultations, there is an emphasis on education, science, and assessing risk versus benefit using up to date information. We look at how best to use cannabinoids (such as THC, CBD, CBN, CBG….), including different types and methods of use, cannabinoid treatment properties, potential medical interactions, appropriate and safe use, alternative treatment options and more.

Medical Cannabis is a very unique therapy, with amazing potential. The medical marijuana industry is rapidly expanding, as we learn more about this ancient plant based medicine. I have been honored and awed by the opportunity to learn alongside my patients.

CBD Consultations

For people wishing to explore the ways CBD can be incorporated into treatment of medical conditions, CBD consultations offer a focused assessment on the use of CBD (cannabidiol) as a treatment option.

These consultations are available to people living both inside and outside of Colorado. This is an excellent option if you are living in a place that has not legalized the use of medical cannabis, but allows the use of CBD.

For some people, the use of cannabis may not be possible for other reasons, such as job restrictions. Other people simply prefer to explore the use of CBD if they are not interested in the full scope of cannabinoids found in cannabis (such as THC).

Medical cannabis and CBD consultations offer complete, in-depth assessment of your unique needs and the ways CBD can be used as part of a treatment plan to help with your specific concerns. After the visit, you will feel educated and informed about CBD and how it is unique from cannabis.

Consultations are offered both in-person and remotely via telemedicine. For those interested in telemedicine services, visits can be done by phone, or online video conferencing.

Medical Marijuana Evaluations for Colorado Medical Marijuana Registry (``Medical Marijuana Card``)

Standard Evaluations

Are you interested in becoming a medical marijuana patient in Colorado?

Do you need a Medical Marijuana Evaluation to determine if you qualify for a “medical card” (Colorado Medical Marijuana Registry)?

Are you already a medical patient, and need an evaluation to renew your certification?

…

For patients seeking to use medical cannabis to treat a “qualifying” medical condition, standard medical marijuana evaluations offer a complete, in-depth assessment and specific treatment recommendations (including types of medicine, dosing, methods of use, and safe use) with a medical marijuana expert.

All consultations include personalized education about medical cannabis, and time to get your questions answered. Ongoing patient support is available with follow-up visits. Moreover, all patients in my practice are able to contact me directly with questions or concerns, so you can feel comfortable in knowing that your needs will be handled directly by a medical cannabis expert.

…

Standard visits meet the requirements for “physician certifications” to apply for a Colorado medical marijuana card. My practice adheres to all State of Colorado laws, ordinances and guidelines.

Comprehensive Consultations

Comprehensive consultations are best for patients with complex medical conditions and histories, seeking to use medical cannabis as a therapeutic option. Medical cannabis can be used both as a primary and complementary treatment option for a variety of conditions.

During your visit, we will review your health history in depth, and explore the ways that marijuana can be used to address your specific concerns. We will review recommendations and create a treatment plan personalized for your unique needs (including types of medicine, dosing, methods of use, and safe use).

Together we can determine how best to integrate medical cannabis safely into your treatment, if you are using other medical treatments and seeing specialists. At your request, if desired, a team approach can be used to work together with your other doctors and providers, to provide you with the best care possible.

Comprehensive consultations are best for complex medical conditions such as cancer, brain injury, neurologic conditions and autoimmune disease.

It is not necessary to have a complex condition to schedule a comprehensive consultation. Some patients prefer the longer visit time (50 minutes) if they feel their questions and concerns require more time to address.

Comprehensive visits exceed the requirements for physician certifications to apply for a Colorado medical marijuana card.

Colorado regulations require pediatric patients (minors) to see two (2) providers for medical marijuana evaluations and physician certifications. In addition to your visit with me, your child will need to be seen by a second provider. I provide referrals for second providers, and we will work together as a team to offer the best care for your child.

My practice requires medical records be provided for all pediatric (minor) patients that I see for a medical marijuana evaluation.

Colorado law specifically requires records medical records be provided for minor patients with the qualifying condition of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Patients interested in medical marijuana evaluations and physician certifications, must be seen in-person in the office. Telemedicine services are NOT available for evaluations for the Colorado Medical Marijuana Registry.
