Welcome, we’re glad you’re here. Seattle Integrative Hormone & Thyroid Clinic offers personalized, root-cause care for thyroid conditions, hormone imbalance, adrenal dysfunction, metabolic resistance, and whole-body wellness. Whether you’re in Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, Everett, Spokane, or anywhere in Washington State, our telehealth model makes it easy to begin care from home while coordinating labs locally through trusted partners such as LabCorp and Quest.
This page walks you through the simple onboarding steps to become a new patient, including what to expect, how to prepare, and what happens after you schedule.
New patient onboarding is available to individuals in Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, Everett, Spokane, and across Washington State through secure telehealth care.
Start Here — How to Become a New Patient
Our new patient process is designed to be clear, supportive, and efficient — especially for people managing fatigue, hormone symptoms, thyroid concerns, or metabolic resistance.
Patients in Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, Everett, Spokane, and throughout Washington State can start with a free Discovery Call to determine fit, then complete onboarding forms through our portal before scheduling the initial clinical visit. This helps us prepare thoroughly so your first appointment is productive and personalized.
Step 1 — Book a Free 15-Minute Discovery Call
This brief call helps you understand whether our clinic is the right fit and which next step is appropriate. It’s also a chance to ask questions and clarify what your care path could look like.
Step 2 — Complete Your New Patient Intake Forms
After booking, you’ll receive instructions for completing your new patient intake and forms through the secure portal. This helps our team review your history, symptoms, and goals before your first visit.
Step 3 — Schedule Your Initial Visit
Once your intake is complete, you’ll schedule your first appointment. This is where full clinical evaluation begins and lab strategy is often created, similar to standard naturopathic “deep dive” first visits.
Step 4 — Begin Your Personalized Care Plan or Vitality Series Program
After your visit and testing strategy, you may follow a personalized plan through individual care or transition into a structured Vitality Series program designed for ongoing support.
What to Expect as a New Patient
Many patients come to us after years of feeling dismissed or being told “everything looks normal.” As a new patient, you can expect a care experience focused on understanding your full health story — including thyroid function, hormone patterns, metabolic markers, stress physiology, digestion, and lifestyle factors.
Patients across Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, Everett, Spokane, and Washington State appreciate that our care model prioritizes time, education, and root-cause strategy — not rushed appointments.
Your First Visit Is a Deep Dive
Your initial appointment focuses on understanding your symptoms, timeline, medical background, and goals. This creates the foundation for testing strategy and treatment planning.
Testing May Be Recommended
Depending on your symptoms, we may recommend thyroid panels, hormone testing (DUTCH/serum/saliva), adrenal/cortisol testing, metabolic labs, or gut testing — coordinated near you through LabCorp, Quest, or specialty labs.
You Leave With Clear Next Steps
You’ll understand what we’re looking for, what’s driving symptoms, and what the next steps are — including follow-ups or structured programs for progress tracking.
How to Prepare for Your First Appointment
To help you get the most out of your visit, we recommend gathering any relevant information ahead of time. Whether you’re in Seattle or joining from anywhere in Washington State, these steps help ensure your first appointment is efficient, thorough, and personalized.
Complete Your Intake Forms
Fill out your forms fully through the patient portal so your clinician can review your history and symptoms before the appointment.
Gather Recent Labs (If Available)
If you have thyroid labs, hormone panels, metabolic labs, or prior testing, bring them or upload them through the portal when possible.
Write Down Your Top Symptoms + Goals
Think about what you most want to change — energy, weight, mood, cycles, sleep, or stress resilience — and what success would look like.
Patient Portal Access
The patient portal is where you can complete intake forms, access documents, view visit information, and send secure messages. If you are already an established patient, you can log in at any time to manage ongoing care.
