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
How will the appointment take place?

Dr. Cate will admit you into the room at the time of your appointment.
Are these visits secure and HIPAA Compliant?

Do you offer in-person appointments?
The appointments are telehealth only.
Do you take insurance?
Not at this time.
How do payments occur?
For the five-minute visit, payments are made automatically at the time of scheduling.
For other services, you will receive an invoice after the appointment.
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.
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:
If you reside in the state of FL and have out-of-network benefits you can submit a paid invoice and may be able to get reimbursed for a portion of the visit expense. Outside of Florida I do not work with insurance, however, you may be able to submit a paid invoice for reimbursement by an HSA or FSA account.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Florida residents:
Dr. Cate is a licensed physician in the state of Florida and as such, she is licensed to provide medical advice to Florida residents for in-person visits or on virtual calls.
Non-Florida residents:
Any information or advice provided by Dr. Cate on a virtual call is considered health coaching and is not to be interpreted as licensed medical care.
