A naturopathic doctor for Eugene, without the drive

The Proactive Choice clinic is at 601 NW Harmon Blvd in Bend. From Eugene that’s about 130 miles on Highway 126, roughly two hours and 40 minutes in good weather. Nobody should make that drive just to go over lab results.

So most of the work happens on video. Oregon’s naturopathic board treats the state you are physically in during the visit as the place of treatment, and it lets a licensee see a new patient by telemedicine without meeting in person first. Dr. Collins is licensed in Oregon. Your kitchen table in Eugene counts.

That makes this a telemedicine naturopath for Eugene patients, not a Eugene office. A video visit covers your history, your labs, your treatment plan and your questions. You get a link beforehand, and a phone or laptop with a camera is enough.

What you can handle by video from Eugene

Telemedicine works for most of the reasons people look for a naturopathic doctor in Eugene, Oregon:

  • a first consultation about fatigue, hormone or thyroid trouble, or a problem that has dragged on
  • perimenopause and menopause care, including whether bioidentical hormones are a safe fit
  • low testosterone questions, and testosterone therapy monitoring for men already on treatment
  • thyroid follow-up
  • going over lab results and adjusting medications or supplements
  • ongoing care once a plan is underway

Menopause shows where the line falls, and it’s the clearest case for anyone looking for a menopause doctor in Eugene. Much of the care is conversation and lab review. In a video on the menopause page, Dr. Collins calls himself a woman’s “physician through transition,” a relationship that can run ten years or so. At the start, though, he recommends a baseline mammogram and a pelvic exam. Neither happens over video. Ask on the free call how he’d handle that part for you.

Prescriptions follow Oregon law. A naturopathic physician may only prescribe drugs on the formulary adopted by the board (ORS 685.145). Plenty of prescription drugs are on it. Some aren’t.

Lab work when you live in Eugene

Dr. Collins orders blood work before treating most conditions. For hormones, a typical panel reads estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormones and cortisol side by side, because one number inside the normal range doesn’t settle much on its own.

You don’t have to come to Bend for the blood draw. The clinic can refer you to a blood draw station or have a mobile phlebotomist come to you. Many patients get the testing done through their own primary care provider or an online lab, and recent results from another doctor can often be reused.

When the results are back, you go through them with Dr. Collins on video.

What still means a trip to Bend

Hands-on treatments happen only at the Bend clinic:

  • prolotherapy, prolozone and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections
  • stem cell therapy
  • IV therapy, including IV chelation
  • ozone therapy
  • any concern that needs a physical exam

Be realistic about the drive: more than five hours round trip, longer when snow and ice hit the Cascades. Some of these treatments, prolotherapy among them, can involve repeat sessions. If what you mainly want is a series of injections or IV infusions, a clinic in Eugene may suit you better.

If video isn’t the right setting for your concern, Dr. Collins will say so and tell you what is.

When telemedicine is the wrong call

Chest pain, signs of a stroke, trouble breathing or a serious injury need 911 or the emergency room. Proactive Choice isn’t emergency care, on video or in the office.

Video also can’t stand in for an exam. Bleeding after menopause is one example. Mayo Clinic says to see a healthcare professional as soon as you can if it happens, and that visit shouldn’t wait for a hormone appointment. A fresh joint injury is another.

And for a quick refill or a sinus infection, urgent care in Eugene will be faster and cheaper.

Cost, insurance and how to book

Proactive Choice is self-pay and doesn’t bill insurance. HSA and FSA funds and credit cards are accepted. Fees aren’t posted on the site yet, so ask for current prices on the call, lab costs included.

  1. Call (858) 333-5196 or use the booking page to set up the free 10-minute phone consultation. That’s long enough for Dr. Collins to tell you whether he can help.
  2. Tell the team you’d like a video visit and that you’ll be in Oregon for it.
  3. Get any labs he asks for, then meet on video. A first visit usually runs about an hour, so keep your medication and supplement list nearby.

Technology, privacy and the other states Dr. Collins can see patients in are covered on the main telemedicine page.

Questions from Eugene patients

Yes, by video. Oregon's naturopathic telemedicine guidelines treat the state you are physically in as the place of treatment, and Dr. Collins holds Oregon naturopathic license 1332. Patients who are in Eugene, Springfield or anywhere else in Oregon at the time of the visit can book.

Not for most concerns. New patients can start by video. Injections such as PRP and prolotherapy, IV therapy, ozone therapy and anything that needs a physical exam require a visit to the clinic at 601 NW Harmon Blvd in Bend.

The consultation, lab review and follow-up can all happen by video. Whether hormones are a safe fit depends on your labs and health history. At the start of menopause care Dr. Collins also recommends a baseline mammogram and a pelvic exam, which can't be done on video, so ask on the free call how that would work for you.
