The Man, The Myth, The Doctor
Hello, I am Dr. Michael Gotcher. I am a family nurse practitioner and a clinical nurse specialist. I also have PhD’s in natural medicine and nutritional sciences. I’ve been trained in functional medicine and in Naturopathy.
In addition, I’ve also had training and advanced IV nutritional therapy as well as advanced hormone replacement therapy. I love to treat patients from a holistic standpoint. I was trained in Western medical care as well as alternative therapies. I do believe there are times that both are appropriate for a patient. Figuring out what is important is not just about the education or degrees, it’s about listening to a Patient. There’s been many times I’ve had preconceptions of what I think is going on with a patient only to find that I am completely wrong. That is why we have been given two ears to hear as it says in the Bible. We’ve been given one mouth. Listening to the patient is so important and vital to optimizing their care.
I find that many times if you stop and listen to a Patient you will hear the diagnosis. For this reason, in my practice I try to take time with patients. As is the case with other clinics, I don’t limit my patients to 15 or 20 minute appointments. An initial visit with a patient sometimes means spending an hour or an hour and a half listening to a Patient. Even my follow up visits last a half hour, but usually end up going longer. Ignition Health And Wellness I want your care to be different. I want you to feel like you’re listening to and you’re hard. I want you to have all your questions answered when you come to our functional medicine Norman OK clinic. I want you to feel that I care for you not just as a patient but as a person. I found in healthcare it is so much easier to care for patients if you personally care for your patient’s well-being. God didn’t put me on this earth to dismiss people and just write a prescription so that I can quickly send a patient on their way. God put me on this earth to form relationships with people and to love people.

What’s The Big Idea Here?
This functional medicine Norman OK practice formed as an idea. An idea that diverged from the typical medical practice of today. Getting away from traditional insurance restrictions and criteria. Being free of those restrictions allows Dr. Gotcher and his staff to fully care for a patient in the manner that is necessary for health. Most insurance plans and healthcare systems have restrictions on practitioners providing alternative or complementary healthcare options. Dr. Gotcher desires to provide a holistic approach to one’s care.
Our goal is to treat the patient as a whole and not just a disease process. For this reason, Dr. Gotcher does not accept insurance. Full payment will be required at the time of service. If you would like to try and submit a paid invoice to your insurance company for possible reimbursement, please inform Dr. Gotcher or his staff and they will gladly provide you with an itemized service invoice with billing codes. Unfortunately, Medicare and Medicaid do not recognize Dr. Gotcher’s services so reimbursement is not possible with these plans.
How Do We Get Results?
To provide answers for our functional medicine Norman OK patients, Dr. Gotcher will utilize the patient’s history or concerns, physical examination, lab tests or other diagnostic tests to identify the potential source of a patient’s symptoms. Laboratory testing (a.k.a. bloodwork, urinalysis, etc.) maybe utilized to aid doctor Gotcher’s examination. These laboratory studies can be done through your insurance plan, however, mini laboratory tests require you to meet your deductible for the year prior to insurance companies paying for them. For this reason, Dr. Gotcher provides you with laboratory studies at his cost.
He will pay a much lower rate if you do the labs without utilizing insurance most of the time. This means that Dr. Gotcher orders the labs, you go to a conveniently located functional medicine Norman OK lab to draw facility and have your labs drawn. You do not have to provide any insurance or financial information when you go to the lab. You would just pay Dr. Gotcher when you’re in the office at the time of your visit in the lab and will directly bill him. However, clients are more than welcome to use their insurance to cover labs if you do not wish to pay Dr. Gotcher out of pocket.
Again, he provides to his functional medicine Norman OK patients various labs at cost to help you save money if you desire. Medicare and Medicaid patients will either need to ask their primary care provider to order the lab test that Dr. Gotcher wants, or they will need to pay for labs out-of-pocket. Medicare and Medicaid do not recognize Dr. Gotcher as a primary care provider and will not reimburse labs for patients.
