Conditions
Dr. Cimperman is a general practitioner specializing in women’s health. She consults with patients of all ages, including men and children, and addresses many common conditions in her practice.
Introductory Visit
10 minutes, no charge
Dr. Cimperman is happy to speak with potential patients prior to scheduling an appointment. This is an opportunity to get to know the doctor and discuss how you might benefit from her services. If she isn’t the best person to help you, she will refer you to another practitioner.
Initial Consultation
60 to 90 minutes, $240
Dr. Cimperman works one-on-one with patients to achieve optimal health. The comprehensive initial consultation covers medical history, current symptoms, diet, lifestyle, medications, supplements, and future goals. Individualized recommendations are created for the unique circumstances surrounding each case.
Your First Visit
Follow-Up Visits
45 minutes, $120
After the initial consultation, patients continue to work with Dr. Cimperman during follow-up visits of approximately 45 minutes. The frequency of subsequent appointments depends on individual health needs and the pace of progress. Once health is restored, Dr. Cimperman usually sees patients yearly for an annual “tune-up.”
Phone Consultations
Initial consultation, 60 to 90 minutes, $240
Follow-up consultation, 45 minutes, $120
Brief consult (established patients only), less than 20 minutes, $60
Dr. Cimperman offers phone consultations for patients outside of the New York City area and those who have difficulty traveling to the office. For initial consultations by telephone, appointments are confirmed once a check or money order is received prior to the scheduled appointment.
Home Visits
Initial consultation, 60 to 90 minutes, $285
Follow-up visits, 45 minutes, $165
Home visits are available in New York City. Fees are slightly higher to accommodate travel time and expense. The prices above reflect the cost of visits in most areas of Manhattan; additional expense may apply if travel time or distance is excessive.
Pre-Conception Program
For women: 2 appointments, 90 minutes each, $395
For couples: 2 appointments, 2 hours each, $645
To have the best chances of achieving a healthy pregnancy, both partners should be in optimum health for no less than three months prior to conception. As an alternative or adjunct to high-tech treatments, Dr. Cimperman’s Pre-Conception Program helps women and couples focus on removing obstacles to infertility and explore alternative approaches when necessary.
The first appointment begins with a thorough discussion of medical history, family history, current conditions, future goals, diet, lifestyle, supplements and medications. Dr. Cimperman will provide each patient with detailed instructions for an individualized detoxification program.
Patients return for the second appointment after the detoxification program has been completed. Dr. Cimperman will discuss the detox experience and provide a comprehensive plan for a three-month pre-conception program.
Payment
Payment is due at the time of service. At this time, Dr. Cimperman is unable to accept insurance, credit or debit card payment. However, local checks, money orders and cash are gladly accepted.

Detoxification
Every day we are exposed to toxins in air, water, food and our environment, from new carpet and air fresheners to old upholstery and second hand smoke. For most people, small doses cause cumulative damage rather than immediate symptoms. But continued exposure may compromise natural detoxification systems, causing the body to store toxins rather than eliminate them.
Accumulation of toxins in the body can lead to general malaise or specific health problems, including fatigue, decreased mental acuity, skin and digestive conditions, food and chemical sensitivities, joint and muscle pain. Clearing toxins from the body can relieve symptoms and renew wellness and vitality.
The liver is the primary organ responsible for changing toxic chemicals into compounds that the body can excrete through the four routes of elimination: bowels, urine, breath and sweat. Dr. Cimperman’s detoxification program includes components designed to optimize liver function as well as all four elimination pathways.
The program includes a hypoallergenic and anti-inflammatory diet, hydrotherapy, exercise and elective therapies that support the detoxification process. These may include breathing exercises, baths, saunas, castor oil packs, yoga, dry skin brushing, massage, lymphatic drainage and/or colon hydrotherapy. During the detox, Dr. Cimperman also recommends a protein powder that helps improve gastrointestinal integrity and provides the macronutrient and micronutrient elements necessary for detoxification and elimination.
Dr. Cimperman’s detoxification program usually lasts two weeks, but a prolonged protocol may be suggested for some individuals. A food reintroduction diet is optional but usually recommended to identify unknown food sensitivities and explore connections between certain foods and specific symptoms. Dr. Cimperman may also recommend additional supplements according to individual health conditions, personal goals and toxic exposure.
Seasonal or annual detoxification can be part of health maintenance and disease prevention, giving the body a break from routine exposure to everyday toxins.
Detox can also be part of a wellness plan for specific health conditions or a new start to a healthier diet and lifestyle. An individualized program provides structure and instruction for better nutrition, regular exercise and activities that can promote relaxation and stress management. When people have a hard time making these changes on their own, a detailed plan can support a smooth transition.
Detoxification is not appropriate for all individuals, including those with constipation, kidney or liver disease, and certain other chronic conditions. Individuals with health concerns should talk to a doctor before participating in any detox program.
