You've taken the first step towards your graceful aging journey. To ensure that you're ready for your rendez-vous, please review the checklist below.
STEP 1
Let's Begin
To book your premiére consultation, please click the button below. The questionnaire takes about 5 minutes to complete and will inquire about your desires, concerns and previous treatments. Once your inquiry has been received, our patient concierge team will be contacting you shortly within 1-3 business days to schedule your visit.
STEP 2
Send your Lab Results
For new patients inquiring about GLP1s or Hormone Replacement Therapy (for Menopause, Andropause or Peri-Menopause) we would like to make the most of your first visit. If you’ve had labs drawn within the past six months, we kindly ask that you send your most recent lab results in advance. You may forward them directly or simply have them sent by your primary care provider. If you do not have recent labs, you may schedule an appointment with Quest Health and request the tests listed below. If needed, we are happy to assist with ordering them on your behalf.
Women:
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
Thyroid TSH Function Test
Cholesterol (lipid) panel
Please fast for 10 hours prior to your blood draw (water is allowed).
Men:
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
Thyroid TSH Function Test
Cholesterol (lipid) panel
Prostate Screening (PSA)
Testosterone Test
We recommend for men to schedule their blood draw between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM, as testosterone levels fluctuate throughout the day and are best assessed in the morning. Please fast for 10 hours prior to your blood draw (water is allowed).
STEP 3
Online Patient Portal
Once your appointment is confirmed, you will receive an email invitation to sign into our online patient portal. This email will contain a temporary password that will help you gain access to your account. This password is only available for 5 days. Please sign-in and set up your account before your first visit. For additional assistance on how to complete these forms, click here.
STEP 4
Required Health Forms
You must complete all required health forms before your visit. These forms can be found in your Remedly account. We recommend completing these consent forms in advance, as to allow ample time to read, review and sign each form. For additional assistance on how to sign digitally, click here.
STEP 5
Confirmation Email + Texts
You will receive an email confirmation the week of your rendez-vous to confirm your appointment details. It is compulsory to confirm. If you do not confirm, we will follow up with a text message. If you have not received an email or text within 72 hours of your appointment, please check your spam folder.
*Please note our rescheduling and cancellation policy
Q&A
Rescheduling Policy
We appreciate at least 3 business days notice if you would like to reschedule your appointment. If you need to reschedule your appointment, please call or text our office at 617-615-6269 as soon as possible so we can work with you to find the next available appointment. You may also email at concierge@thefrenchnp.com. Last minute rescheduling will revise your placement on the waitlist. Out of respect for others on the waitlist, we can only reschedule a new patient consult once.
Q&A
Cancellations/No Shows
We understand that sometimes you may need to cancel your appointment, and we can assist with that. Please call or text our office at 617-615-6269 as soon as possible to arrange your cancellation and avoid any penalties. You may also email at concierge@thefrenchnp.com. Cancellations less than 3 business days in advance will result in an automatic cancellation fee of $150. In the event of a same day no-show a $400 fee will apply instead. In order to reschedule afterwards we require 100% payment of the planned procedure that was missed.
Unfortunately, if you fail to communicate with us or arrive to your appointment, we will not be able to reschedule your visit.
Q&A
Virtual Consultations
Virtual consultations are available based on your location and the nature of your health concerns. For many patients, this offers a convenient way to begin their wellness journey from the comfort of home, without compromising the depth or quality of care. During your virtual session, Dr. Zarella will review your history, labs, and goals to map out a personalized plan forward. If you are interested in a virtual consultation, please contact our office.
