Healthcare As It Should Be.

At Kestrel Health, we know that your health is the most precious gift you possess. When you are struggling with chronic symptoms or health hurdles, it impacts every day of your life, puts a huge strain on your body, work performance, and your family or loved ones.

Unfortunately, a yearly trip to your doctor for a basic check-up does little to help bridge the gap with it comes to healing chronic symptoms and dealing with the many factors than can be compromising your health.

Most people attribute their symptoms to “just getting older” when in fact these symptoms are imbalances that can easily be addressed if you receive the right care and consistent health guidance.

This is why Dr. Henriksen blends both conventional and functional medicine in his practice, so that you receive the benefit from both traditional forms of care mixed with lifestyle medicine and more natural approaches.

Functional medicine focuses on root cause healing while empowering patients with the tools to improve their health through natural, lifestyle modifications. But implementing lasting lifestyle changes can be challenging and with all the confusing misinformation out there, many people require guidance through this process.

Everyone is on a different healing journey and people progress at different speed. However, when you have the right doctor as your guide, you’d be amazed at how easy it is to incorporate lifestyle changes to help you get your energy back and be on the road to vibrant health.

At Kestrel Health, we find that a monthly membership model with regular support is ideal to help guide you along your own unique healing journey – guided by an experienced and well-rounded practitioner who can give you the best way to conquer your unique health challenges.

Whether you are focusing on releasing stubborn weight, getting more energy, sleeping better or just discovering which diet is the best for you – the membership model allows you access to your doctor when you need it, and a higher level of care to help you make a long-term impact on your health. Kestrel Health is bringing personal attention back to modern medicine and taking a holistic approach to healing and health using a unique blend of traditional and functional medicine.

We are motivated by helping our patients find real wellness, by using the principles of functional medicine (which focuses on resolving the root causes of symptoms instead of covering up symptoms with more medications). Good healthcare begins with open conversations so we believe that talking to your doctor shouldn’t be inconvenient – you can text us or even schedule a home visit!

Through a flexible membership program, we make every minute count with the families and individuals we care for.

Why opt for a direct pay membership model for healthcare instead of a standard clinic?

A limited patient roster results in more time spent with Dr. Henriksen.

Most full-time family physicians have between 1,600 and 2,000 patients. At Kestrel, we have a limit of 400 patients per treating physician to ensure quality care, time, and attention. Working with fewer patients means Dr. Henriksen can take more time during visits to devote to more detailed diagnoses and plans. In a traditional clinic patients expect a rushed 10-minute appointment, but in the Kestrel model follow-up appointments often last for 40-minutes.

The membership model cuts time-consuming and costly expenses associated with clinic management and paperwork such as insurance billing. 

Cutting these costs means that Kestrel can afford to have fewer patients per physician.

No more unnecessary office visits for follow-ups.

In the traditional insurance model doctors must see a patient in person to get paid. This leads to inconvenient and unnecessary follow-ups. In our membership model, Dr. Henriksen instead provides innovative solutions like telemedicine, text messaging, and educational events to proactively promote health and wellness while also resolving patient concerns quickly.
