Your appointment with Minnesota Personalized Medicine is an investment in your health and optimal wellbeing. With each appointment, you have the opportunity to purchase your physician's time and expertise.
We encourage advance preparation for each appointment to minimize cost.
All appointments are based on the physician's hourly rate.
As of January 1, 2024, the physician hourly rates are:
Gregory A. Plotnikoff, MD, MTS, FACP – $600
Tara Doyle, MD, FAIHM, ABOIM, ABIHM – $540

New Patient Appointments
New Patient appointments include face-to-face time with your physician (typically 3-5+ hours) plus additional time necessary for medical record review and charting preparation (ranging from 0-2+ hours depending on complexity). They also include assessments and a co-created Action Plan.
The New Patient appointment cost is typically $1,620-$4,200+ depending on the physician and time involved.
Test kits and supplement costs, however, are not included in the appointment cost.
New Patient appointments are scheduled as an in-person appointment in our clinic.
Follow-Up Appointments
While Follow-Up appointments can range from 30 minutes to two hours, they are typically 1-1/2 hours long. They are scheduled in accordance with complexity and time required.
The Follow-Up appointment cost is typically $270-$1,200 depending on the physician and time involved.
Test kits and supplement costs, however, are not included in the appointment cost.
The number of Follow-Up appointments will vary from patient to patient. A patient should plan to return for a total of two Follow-Up appointments on average. However, more complex cases may require more.
Follow-Up appointments can be scheduled as an in-person appointment at our clinic; as a telemedicine appointment; or as a phone consultation.
Telemedicine Appointments
Telemedicine appointments are available upon request and require appropriate scheduling.
Test kits and supplement costs, however, are not included in the appointment cost.

Overall
Our responsibilities for medical consultation are no different than from any other medical clinic. Phone calls and emails, unless otherwise specified, are not a substitute for appropriate clinic follow-up.
We encourage follow-up in a timely fashion based on our suggested schedule. If this is not possible, this may preclude our capacity to consult with you.
Changes in treatment plans requiring documentation will be done only by in-person appointment; by telemedicine appointment; by phone consultation; and/or by patient portal messaging.
We strongly recommend that all patients adhere to the recommended Follow-Up appointment plan. If circumstances have prevented Follow-Up appointments for more than three months past the recommended time, another Follow-Up appointment will be required before any additional refills or medical orders can be authorized.
We strive to be flexible and to be of the greatest service to you. Therefore, all New Patient appointments are blocked for 3-4 hours with flexibility to extend beyond, if necessary.
For this reason, all new patients who fail to cancel within seven, full business days will be charged for a 1-1/2 hour appointment. This fee is non-refundable.
