Frequently Asked Questions
What is a typical treatment like?
First you meet with Dr Gaeta to complete your health history, and discuss your needs and goals. He will make an evaluation, discuss how we can best help you, and create an individualized treatment plan for you. This includes specific therapies to use, estimated number of visits, costs, your responsibilities, etc. In subsequent visits we discuss your progress and work together to create the next steps. The effects of our treatments and the lifestyle changes we encourage are cumulative and long-lasting, as long as you do your part in creating new diet and lifestyle habits, and taking your nutritional and herbal supplements.
Do you accept my insurance?
The Gaeta Clinic does not accept insurance as payment. Ask your insurance carrier if it will reimburse you for our services. We will give you a statement that you can send in to them to receive reimbursement. Many of our patients have been at least partially reimbursed for their treatments here. We believe that healthcare should be affordable, without dependence on insurance coverage. We emphasize effective, low-cost natural therapies, and the prevention and early treatment of illness. If you have financial concerns, discuss them with us.
Do I need a doctor's prescription to come in?
No. However, for purposes of insurance reimbursement, a physician’s prescription may be helpful.
Where is the Gaeta Clinic Location?
Our Clinic is at a home office in North Boulder. The Address will be included in your appointment confirmation email.

What is your Cancellation Policy?
Appointments must be canceled at least 24 hours in advance. If an appointment is canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice, and we are able to fill that appointment time, there will be no charge. If not, there will be no charge the first time. After that, the normal fee will be charged. If an appointment is forgotten (a patient does not come or call) there will be no charge the first time. After that, the normal fee will be charged.
How often do I need to come in?
People who are healthy to begin with, and those who have reached a state of good health by working with us, come regularly (once every 1-3 months) for maintenance or wellness care—a “tune up”.
Your treatment plan will be discussed with you at your appointment.
What if I just have some health questions?
If you would not like to have a complete new patient evaluation, and simply would like your questions answered for yourself, or get insights on one of your patients, book on our Appointments page and choose “Phone or Video Consultation for Patients and Clinicians.”
What is my responsibility when I come for treatment?
It would be nice to hear, “Just come in and we’ll fix you.” Lasting change requires work on your part also. A big part of our job is helping people to help themselves and redirect their lives in a positive way. We can help you live a healthier, more fulfilling life. See us as a guide and coach that helps you find balance, vitality and wellness.
A cornerstone of wholistic healthcare is patient education. We teach our patients everything we can about living a healthy and meaningful life. It’s our job to teach you how to better take care of yourself, and give you tools for health and living which you can use for your whole life.
Wholistic health emphasizes education, prevention and the acceptance of responsibility for one’s life and health. The motto of the wholistic practitioner is “do as I do.” This implies that such a person is a living example of vibrant health. Wholistic health treats people, not merely symptoms or a labeled disease. It seeks not only the absence of disease, but also the presence of health and wellness.
Consultations are available in person in Boulder or by phone or video, with follow-up by email and your patient portal. Dr Gaeta’s wholistic care does not diagnose, cure or treat disease and does not replace the care of a physician; it supports your body’s own capacity for healing and works well alongside conventional care.
