* Nutritional education
* Lifestyle guidance
* Exercise planning

Give us a call at (907) 523-8888 or email us at admin@harborak.com to schedule your first visit!
Your first visit will be a lab appointment, unless you've had necessary labs elsewhere within the last 3 months. We will email you a questionnaire prior to that visit so that we can determine which labs you may need.
After your lab results come back, typically within 48 hours, we will contact you for your first provider consultation. This first contact with your provider typically lasts about 60 minutes. At that appointment, your provider will review lab results with you, obtain vital signs (height, weight, blood pressure, heart rate, etc.), review your medical history, discuss health goals, and prescribe an individualized treatment tailored just for you. You will also get plenty of education on diet, activity, health risks, and how to optimize yourself for success!
Your prescribed plan will include how often you will need to follow-up. This will be determined at your first provider visit, as well.
Remember: Your success equals our success. We'll be here with you every step of the way to help you succeed!
