New Patient Guide for VitaLife Longevity Medicine
Your First Visit Starts Before You Walk In
We do things differently. Your first appointment is built on lab results, not a clipboard questionnaire. Here's what to expect.
New Patient Onboarding Process
Step 1
Book Your Lab Draw
Schedule your lab draw online or by calling us. This can happen at our Show Low clinic or at a local lab if you're a telemedicine patient.
Step 2
We Review Your Results
Your provider reviews your full lab panel before your first consultation. This means your visit starts with data, not paperwork.
Step 3
Initial Consultation
Meet your provider. This visit is 45-60 minutes. We go through your labs, your symptoms, your history, and your goals. Together we build a plan.
Step 4
Choose Your Membership
Based on your consultation, pick the tier that fits. Signature for full care. Men's Optimization for TRT. Metabolic Reset for weight loss. Family for households.
Step 5
Start Treatment
Your provider begins executing your plan. Follow-up visits, lab monitoring, and direct access are all part of your membership.
What to Bring to Your First Visit
Quick Checklist
- Valid photo ID
- Current medications and supplements
- Recent lab work (if available)
- Insurance card (for outside referrals only)
- List of questions or health concerns
Complete your forms from home before your visit. It takes about 10-15 minutes.
Plan for 30-60 minutes for your initial consultation. Your provider, Courtney Contreras, PA-C, will have already reviewed your lab results before you walk in, so your visit starts with real answers instead of intake paperwork. We recommend getting your labs drawn at least a few days before your first appointment so results are ready.
What a First Visit at VitaLife Longevity Medicine Looks Like
Not 10 Minutes. Not a Clipboard. This Is Different.
Before You Arrive
Your labs are already reviewed.
You get your blood drawn 3–5 days before your first appointment. Courtney reviews every result before you walk in. So when you sit down, she already knows your hormone levels, your thyroid, your metabolic markers. The visit starts with answers, not questions.
When You Arrive
No waiting room shuffle.
You check in, you're taken back. The space is warm and quiet. There's no clipboard full of redundant questions — you completed your health history online before coming in. Your first 5 minutes are not paperwork.
The Consultation — 60 to 90 Minutes
She listens. Then she connects the dots.
Courtney walks you through your results in plain language. She connects your labs to your symptoms — your sleep, your energy, your mood, your weight. She asks about things other providers have glossed over. Nothing gets dismissed. By the end of this conversation, you'll understand your own body better than you did walking in.
Your Plan
You leave with a clear path forward.
Before you leave, Courtney walks you through your options. Which membership tier fits your situation. Which treatments make sense. What the next 30, 60, 90 days look like. You're not sent home with a pamphlet. You're sent home with a plan that was built specifically for you.
After Your Visit
Your provider is still reachable.
Questions after you leave? Text or call directly. Courtney checks in as needed. If something changes, you don't wait three weeks for the next available slot. You send a message.

If You've Been Let Down Before
If you've had bad experiences with healthcare providers before, we understand. Rushed visits. Dismissed symptoms. Surprise bills. That's why most of our patients are here.
Your first visit at VitaLife is 30-60 minutes. Courtney reads your chart before you walk in. Nobody rushes you. Nobody dismisses what you're feeling. And the price you see is the price you pay.
