Your journey with Dr. Maxham begins with an extensive consultation that may last 60-90 minutes, far longer than typical medical appointments. He conducts thorough reviews of your medical history, current symptoms, lifestyle factors, and previous weight loss attempts.

His approach is patient-centered and collaborative, with ongoing education about your condition and treatment rationale.

His 4.9-star rating reflects patient satisfaction with his thorough, personalized approach and successful outcomes. Unlike practitioners who focus solely on diet and exercise, Dr. Maxham investigates why your body isn't responding to traditional weight loss methods and addresses those underlying issues. He offers both natural and conventional treatment options, allowing you to choose approaches that align with your preferences while ensuring medical safety. His extended appointment times mean you'll never feel rushed, and he takes time to educate you about your condition and treatment options. Many patients find success with Dr. Maxham after struggling with other approaches because he addresses the root causes they've been missing.

Insurance & Pricing

Dr. Maxham works with many insurance plans for covered services, particularly those related to internal medicine consultations and medically necessary treatments. Some naturopathic and holistic services may not be covered by insurance, and we'll discuss this transparently during scheduling. Initial comprehensive consultations typically range from $300-500 due to the extended time and thorough evaluation involved. Follow-up visits are generally $150-250, depending on complexity and duration. Specialized testing and natural supplements may involve additional costs, which Dr. Maxham discusses before recommending. We believe in transparent pricing and will always explain costs upfront, helping you understand the value of comprehensive care.

First-Time Patient Tips

Success with Dr. Maxham's approach requires patience and commitment to addressing underlying health issues that may have developed over years. Come prepared to discuss your complete health history, including symptoms that might seem unrelated to weight. Be open to both conventional and natural treatment options, as the most effective approach often combines both. Understand that addressing root causes may take longer than quick fixes, but results are typically more sustainable. Follow supplement and lifestyle recommendations consistently, as natural therapies often require time to show effects. Keep a symptom diary before your visit to help identify patterns, and don't hesitate to ask questions about any recommended treatments or their rationale.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between your approach and traditional weight loss programs?

I focus on identifying and treating underlying causes of weight gain like hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, or nutrient deficiencies rather than just addressing symptoms. This approach often leads to more sustainable results for people who've struggled with conventional methods.

Do you prescribe weight loss medications?

Yes, when medically appropriate, I can prescribe FDA-approved weight loss medications. However, I also offer natural alternatives and often combine approaches based on your individual needs and preferences.

How long does the initial consultation take?

Initial consultations typically last 60-90 minutes to allow for a comprehensive evaluation of your health history, symptoms, and goals. This extended time is necessary to develop truly personalized treatment plans.

What kind of testing do you typically recommend?

Testing varies by individual but often includes comprehensive hormone panels, metabolic markers, nutritional assessments, inflammatory indicators, and sometimes food sensitivity testing. The goal is to identify factors that might be interfering with weight loss.

Are natural treatments as effective as conventional medications?

Natural treatments can be very effective, especially for addressing root causes, but they often work more gradually than pharmaceutical interventions. The most effective approach frequently combines both natural and conventional treatments tailored to your specific situation.

Do you accept insurance?

We work with many insurance plans for covered services, particularly internal medicine consultations and medically necessary treatments. Some naturopathic services may not be covered, and we'll discuss this transparently before any treatments.

How do you determine if hormones are affecting my weight?

Through comprehensive hormone testing and symptom evaluation, we can identify imbalances in thyroid, reproductive, stress, and metabolic hormones that commonly interfere with weight management. Many patients are surprised to learn how much hormones affect their weight.

What if I've tried everything and nothing has worked?

Patients who haven't succeeded with other approaches often do well with our comprehensive evaluation because we look at factors that are frequently overlooked. By addressing root causes rather than just symptoms, we often find solutions that previous providers missed.
