Private Consultations

Richard practices herbal medicine based on the belief that health care should be integrative and holistic, taking into account the whole person rather than a narrow focus on disease, and recognizing the power of combining conventional and natural methods in treating illness. Private sessions with Richard typically last one and a half to two hours, and consist of reviewing a completed intake form, discussing current health goals and medical history, and utilizing traditional techniques such as Chinese tongue and pulse diagnosis.

In addition to receiving recommendations during the session, each client afterwards receives written recommendations in the form of a personalized health protocol addressing diet, lifestyle, herbs, and other supplements.

Richard sees clients primarily in Forestburgh NY (Sullivan County - southern Catskills region).  The address and directions will be sent to you upon scheduling an appointment, along with an intake form and other information.

Consultations are by appointment only and initial sessions take 1.5-2 hours. Please note that appointments generally need to be made approximately six weeks in advance.

Private consults typically can be scheduled for the following days and times (though other days and times can sometimes be available - get in touch!):

• Mondays: 9:00-2:00

• Thursdays: 12:30-2:30

• Fridays: 9:00-2:00

Distance consults (by phone or zoom / video conference) are available, although when it is possible I think it is often best to work with someone you can see in person.

The initial session fee is $150 which includes written recommendations, but I accept less.  No one is turned away for financial reasons.

Follow up sessions generally last 20-45 minutes and cost $75. The fee for a longer follow up session is $150.
