Are having trouble keeping up with a hectic pace of life, concerned about hormone imbalance, sleeping difficulties or weight management?
Hello, my name is Dr Peter Holsman and I have recently opened a new clinic with a holistic approach in Ashburton. If you are looking for a Doctor who is also qualified as a Naturopath, here is what I have to offer.
My philosophy. I use a holistic approach which combines the best of conventional medicine and natural therapies to give you a sensitive, individual assessment and treatment which addresses both the underlying causes and symptoms of your health concerns. If you are like my family and I, you will be attracted to the idea of addressing health concerns as effectively and naturally as possible.
Common reasons why people see me. Often I see people who are feeling worn out, want help with weight management, experience hormone imbalance or are having sleeping difficulties.
Longer consultations.Comprehensive consultations take time, just like many conversations. You can expect a detailed history taking and examination, followed by an assessment of what needs to be done to boost your health and energy. I like my patients to arrive early so that you are relaxed and can enjoy a cup of tea, coffee or filtered water in the client lounge before your appointment.
What if tests are needed? I will arrange conventional blood tests and x-rays when appropriate. Specialised tests for hormones and biochemistry are also available.
What treatments do I prescribe? Most people benefit from specific nutritional advice and a limited number – not a rucksack full – of natural vitamins and herbs. I rarely prescribe pharmaceutical medication.
My fees. All clients are privately billed with fees being payable on the day. Details of the time based fee scale and Medicare rebates are available from our friendly reception team. Payment choices include eftpos, credit card, cash or cheque. We can help you claim your Medicare rebate with our electronic software.
Parking is plentiful. Ample off street car parking is accessed by the lane behind the shops in High Street and is located at the rear of the clinic.
Making an appointment. If I seem like the sort of Doctor you want to see to restore your health and vitality, ring Dalia on 9885 7766 and make an appointment.
