HEALTH QUESTIONS ARE ONLY ANSWERED ON THE PHONE
I ONLY ANSWER HEALTH QUESTIONS OVER THE PHONE. I no longer answer any health questions through e-mail because it just takes too much time to volley several e-mails back and forth to get all of the information I need. When you call me with a health question please be prepared to answer the following information:
When calling about anything other than a health question, just give me a call at 314.420.5099. For all health questions read 1 - 5 below.
1. Age is a large factor in every health condition, illness, syndrome, disease, etc., please give your exact birth date (month/date/year).
2. Before calling, take the time to read the section on this site called Signs and Symptoms." Did you know that 90 - 95% of your doctor's diagnosis will come from the information you give? That's right! If you leave something out, no matter how big or small, then the doctor will be diagnosing you without having all of the information. They only know what you tell them and they are asking you questions for a reason. Remember, they are also ordering tests based on what you say. In order for me to give you some guidance, be prepared to be VERY DESCRIPTIVE and read the Signs and Symptoms" section.
3. I DO NOT charge a fee for a health question. Charging a fee for a health question would not only be silly, it would be greedy and out of integrity with my belief system. Health Consultations or Extensive Laboratory Test Interpretations require a fee because they involve an entire health history and a conversation that last 1-1/2 hours.
4. If you live in the U.S. and prefer that I call you, then just e-mail me your phone number on the following link with the preferred time for me to call you back and YOUR TIME ZONE! healthquestion@drstandley.com. IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE OF THE U.S., YOU WILL NEED TO CALL ME BACK!
5. I answer my own phone. The number is 314.420.5099, which is also posted at the top of this site in the gray box of every page. If I answer, you have not interrupted me. If I do not answer, just leave your name and number because I WILL call you back as soon as I can. Leave me a few choice times to return your call, plus your time zone.
You can always keep up with me by reading the Daily Message, especially if I am on the road and returning calls later than usual.
