Frequently Asked Questions
How do I schedule an appointment?
If you are a new client, you may schedule your complimentary consultation or your initial appointment by visiting the contact page and filling out the short form or outreaching directly to your desired provider by calling (470) 740-7121.
If you are an existing client, please outreach to your provider directly either by telephone, email, or via the client portal secure messaging system.
Do you accept my insurance?
HWP does not accept insurance. Managed care companies were created to “manage” and contain escalating health care costs. Their bottom line is to reduce costs and raise profits; it is not to increase the quality of care professionals provide or your quality of life. HWP is solution-focused on quality of life and personal goals.
