Thank you for your interest in speaking with Dr. Cate!
If you are tired of taking pills or bouncing from one doctor to the next, and you are ready to reverse the underlying processes that are making you unwell, Dr. Cate can help. Many chronic diseases are fully reversible and all can be dramatically improved by improving your metabolic health. Dr. Cate has more than 20 years of experience working with patients from all walks of life, all ages, and with almost all chronic conditions.
You CAN reverse heart disease, auto-immune disease, neurologic problems, and diabetes. If you suffer from chronic inflammation, digestive issues, joint pains, or skin conditions–all of these conditions can improve dramatically by optimizing your metabolic health. There is hope and there are answers.
PLEASE NOTE: Dr. Cate can only manage prescriptions for people who make their first appointment while physically in the state of FL. Outside the state of FL, these appointments are not legally considered medical care.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information should I send?
A brief medical history and list of medications and supplements. Unfortunately, I do not have time to review extensive records before the appointment.
LABS: It’s not necessary to send labs, but it’s often helpful. The basic tests I would recommend would be insulin level, comprehensive metabolic panel, standard lipid panel, and a complete blood count. If you have more tests, feel free to send.
PLEASE NOTE: If you do send more than one set of labs, we will go over them together DURING the appointment.
How will the appointment take place?
Dr. Cate will send a Google Meet link prior to the appointment. If you do not want to use video please advise when you make the appointment and she will call you on the phone number provided when you registered.
Dr. Cate will admit you into the room at the time of your appointment.
Do you offer in-person appointments?
Not at this time, appointments are telehealth only.
Do you take insurance?
Not at this time.
How do I pay?
By zelle, venmo, or personal check. I will send an invoice AFTER the visit.
For outside-of-US payments, the best method is mailing a check. Paypal is another method but to use Paypal we need to charge for their fees so you will incur an additional small (5% at the moment) expense.
Can other people join the video call?
Yes. If you want to join on a different device, I will need your email prior to the visit.
Are these visits secure and HIPAA Compliant?
Yes, Dr. Cate has a BAA agreement with Google Workspace, which makes her communications HIPAA compliant. For more about google workspace, click here.
How To Prepare for the Virtual Visit
Please have the following information available: medications, including dosages, and supplements that you take. If you wish to discuss any blood tests or other test results, please have those available as well. You can mail this information ahead if you prefer.
When sending information, please label the files you send so that she can identify documents easily, including screenshots, images of your supplements, etc. Unlabeled screenshots may not be reviewed. You may fax to 407.316.2807 or email info@DrCate.com
Dr. Cate will review your records during the appointment.
Take notes! Please make sure to take notes on what is important to you. Dr. Cate’s own notes usually include things you already know and not things she already knows.
DISCLAIMER, PLEASE READ
Virtual appointments must remain in compliance with current telehealth laws. During the visit, Dr. Cate will draw on her decades of medical experience and metabolic expertise, offer her opinion and insights on prescription medications, cholesterol levels, other lab tests and provide general information on previously diagnosed conditions and testing that may be done to assess those conditions, but to remain in compliance with telehealth regulations the service she is providing is health coaching. She is unable to assume care as your personal physician, due to state regulations.
INSURANCE:
Dr. Cate does not work with insurance plans.
If you reside in the state of FL and have out-of-network benefits, after Dr. Cate receives payment, you can request an invoice marked “paid” and submit that to your insurance plan for reimbursement. There is no guarantee insurance will pay for these visits, however.
