Phone Consultations


Dr. Janikula manages patients from all over the country. He finds patients are effectively managed over the phone with naturopathic therapies. He first noticed this when he managed difficult to treat rapid cycling patients in his own area that the rapid prescribing often happened over the phone. Then he started taking on hard to manage patients from different areas of the country.


He has found a few things necessary to have effective phone work.

1. He needs the patient to have a local physician to perform examinations that are needed during the course of their illness.
2. He needs to include information from loving family or friends to help with details that might be missed during a phone consultation.
3. He needs the patient to include him in all medical decisions before making them.

When these three items are in order he finds phone consultation very effective.
