Consultations

I am now offering phone consultations and will be doing teleseminars in the near future. Please be watching this section of the Website for details on the latter, including times and fees.

The information you now see on DogtorJ.com will always be here on the site for free. It was given to me and I give it to you. But as I have been doing so much Internet work and public speaking and getting more involved with the media, I can now foresee the day when I will have to leave my practice and do phone consultations, teleseminars, and media work full-time.

If you would like more information about scheduling a consultation with Dogtor J….

…please let us know by filling out the short request form found here.

There’s nothing quite like having someone explain something as complicated as medicine one-on-one. You’ll be hearing from me shortly.

PS. Please do not let the term “subscribed” bother you when you see it in the message that follows your form submission. I will not be bombarding you with Emails. I simply had to go to this more remote method of contact to avoid all of the spam I was receiving. Thank you for understanding.

If you know that you would like to schedule a phone consultation with Dogtor J….

…please let us know by sending an Email directly to consults@dogtorj.com, including your name, contact information and the nature of your case. You can include any medical history and lab work that you have or you can wait until after we have scheduled the consult to provide this vital information.

We will respond to your Email as soon as possible and set up a time to call that is convenient for you.

Phone Consultation Fee Schedule:

NOTE: Due to my current inability to answer Email inquiries, I am reducing the price of my phone consultations. I normally try to answer simple questions about the site and it’s content as soon as possible. But because of time constraints as I work on my upcoming book and the newly-redesigned Website, I am unable to respond to these questions and comments.

Therefore, I am temporarily lowering the cost of phone consultations. I hope this helps.

First half hour- Now $75 USD (normally $120 USD). This is the cost for the initial 30 minute consultation on a new case and includes the establishment of your medical records with us and the interpretation of lab work done by previous doctors.
Each additional 15 minutes- Now $35 USD (normally $55 USD)
Follow-up calls- Now $35 USD per 15 minute interval (normally $55 USD).

When we contact you following your initial request, we will ask you to send us any lab work and pertinent history by Email or FAX prior to the initial consultation so that we can review the case beforehand. This will allow us to use our phone time most efficiently.

For a sample of our success stories, please feel free to visit the Testimonials section of this site.

I look forward to working with you and hope that the information I have to share with you will change your life or that of your pet in the way that it has dramatically changed mine and that of so many of my patients (and their owners).

I hope to talk to you soon,

Dogtor J
