The drive, and the winter version of it

In good weather the trip is about 30 minutes. In January it can be a different story, and that is where video visits earn their keep. The first appointment is in person and longer than usual, since it covers your whole history and any past labs (here is what to expect). Most follow-ups after that can be done by secure video from home.

What people in Sisters tend to bring in

Hormone questions come up constantly: perimenopause and menopause, low testosterone, and thyroid numbers that look fine but don’t match how someone feels. So does chronic joint and tendon pain in people who hike, ride or ski hard and would like to keep doing it.

For that second group, Dr. Collins may look at prolotherapy or PRP. Those are in-office treatments, so they mean a trip into Bend.

Blood work without the drive

You don’t have to come to Bend for blood work. The clinic can refer you to a blood draw station or send a mobile phlebotomist, and recent results from another doctor can often be used. When the results are in, Dr. Collins goes through them with you, in the office or on video.

When Bend isn't the right call

Anything urgent goes to urgent care or the ER, not a naturopathic clinic 30 minutes away. The same goes for a quick refill or a cold.

Where the trip is worth it: a problem that has hung around for months and not improved with the usual approach.

Cost and payment

Proactive Choice is self-pay and doesn’t bill insurance. HSA and FSA funds and credit cards are accepted, and the clinic can give you a superbill to send your insurer. Fees aren’t posted yet, so ask on the free call. The cost guide explains how visits and labs are usually priced.
