Dr. McCloskey’s Functional Medicine private practice at Arete Health is limited to a very small number of patients. It takes tremendous time and energy for any healthcare worker to manage a case to our standard of depth and specificity. The patients who typically do well working with Dr. McCloskey are highly motivated and dedicated to evaluating their case in great detail. Successful management of such cases requires appropriate testing, diagnosis, financial commitment, and realistic clinical expectations.
Due to the limitations of Dr. McCloskey’s schedule and growing demand to train healthcare professionals, he can only accept new patients who are willing to share their case as an academic case study in-house with our interns and participants of our Professional Development Program and Arete University (both models focus on teaching clinical practice models to healthcare professionals interested in a nutrition and lifestyle-first approach to help improve the lives of patients suffering from a wide array of chronic conditions. During initial case management, the physical examination, history, and past medical records are formatted into educational resources with personal information redacted for privacy and HIPPA compliance, with the exception of the first name. Over time, added case management information may also be added to the case study materials.
Depending on the current clinic schedule and Dr. McCloskey’s availability, once an application is approved it can take between 2 and 8 weeks to see Dr. McCloskey in person as a new patient.
