Are you ready to take control of your health?
Planted Forward uses an integrative approach to health care delivery where you work with a collaborative team of physicians, dietitians, and fitness & health coaches to achieve all your health goals. You aren’t a bystander in your healthcare- you’re in charge!
What makes us different?
- Our specialists have the time and flexibility to be true partners in your care. They are not bound by the 10-15 min visits of traditional medical practices.
- Our specialists are trained to offer the best in integrative, lifestyle and nutrition therapy while focusing on your individual needs.
- After your visit, you wont be left alone and forgotten! Through our patient portal, you have access to your care team when you need them!
- No surprise billing! Each provider has their prices and services clearly listed, with no hidden extra fees!
How it works:
- Our virtual visits are direct, out of pocket pay. We do not take medical insurance. Pricing ranges from $100-$400, depending on the specialist and the amount of time you book.
- All labs, imaging, medication, and supplements are run through your insurance as usual.
- If you wish to seek reimbursement from your insurance for our virtual visits, we will provide a super bill for you. Just send it to your insurance company along with any paperwork they require for out-of-network care. Some patients are fully reimbursed, while others receive partial or no reimbursement. It all depends on your plan.
- We are opted out of Medicaid and Medicare and cannot see these patients at this time.

We Value Our Community
You are not alone on your healthcare journey. Planted Forward doesn’t just provide you with a team of integrative specialists who collaborate on your care. It also facilitates the coming together of like minded people who are looking for a way to lead a healthier life.
Planted Forward believes in the power of community. Our goals lie not only in healing patients, but also in growing our knowledge together and protecting our environment for future generations.
Planted Forward Lifestyle
The plant-based lifestyle is one that emphasizes the consumption of whole plant foods while minimizing processed foods, refined sugars, and saturated fat. Every person is unique, with different nutritional needs and desires, so going 100% plant-based may not be feasible for everyone. We are here to empower you with knowledge and health guidance in a non judgmental way.

Through our secure and HIPAA compliant platform, our team can spend more time with you.

Pillars of Integrative Medicine
The current medical model is flawed and disease centered, with healthcare professionals focusing on treating illness to the exclusion of everything else.
At Planted Forward, we practice Integrative Medicine, which takes the whole patient into account. We search for the underlying cause of disease and use evidence-based practices to help heal the acute problem while also providing lasting health strategies to keep you thriving.
