Informational Phone/Skype Consultations

Dr. Congdon offers 30- and 60-minute consults to provide information on fibromyalgia, the hypoglycemic diet, and the guaifenesin protocol. In these sessions Dr. Congdon does her best to answer questions about your condition using information derived from various published research studies/books and her extensive personal and professional experience with fibromyalgia.

Dr. Congdon cannot diagnose fibromyalgia or make specific treatment recommendations without an in-office visit, but if you would like detailed general information—this option is for you. The charge $160 for 30 minutes and $270 for 60 minutes. Please contact the office for details.”
