At ellie, we prioritize the highest standards of care for your health. To ensure you connect with trusted and qualified practitioners, we follow a rigorous and thorough vetting process to ensure they meet our criteria for excellence.
We assess practitioners across six essential criteria, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of their ability to provide exceptional care because the person you start your healing journey with makes the world of a difference.
Every practitioner must demonstrate a clear commitment to addressing the unique health concerns of women. This includes a strong understanding of reproductive health, hormonal balance, fertility, menstrual health, and other areas specific to women's well-being. Practitioners should offer specialized treatment plans tailored to the individual needs of women across different life stages.
We emphasize a root-cause methodology, where practitioners focus on identifying and addressing underlying health issues rather than simply treating symptoms. Whether following functional medicine, Eastern medicine, or an integrative approach, practitioners must prioritize comprehensive care, incorporating lifestyle, nutrition, and preventative health.
Practitioners must ground their work in credible, evidence-based practices. While we support holistic and integrative approaches, all care must be informed by the most up-to-date scientific research and clinical knowledge. Practitioners should demonstrate a commitment to ongoing education, and be able to explain the “why” behind their methods — blending tradition with modern science to provide thoughtful, trustworthy care.
Maintaining a clean and professional environment is essential to building trust and ensuring the safety of patients. Practitioners are required to uphold the highest standards of cleanliness in their clinics or facilities, ensuring that spaces are hygienic, welcoming, and conducive to healing.
Excellence lies in the details. From creating a welcoming atmosphere to providing personalized care, practitioners must exhibit exceptional attention to detail in every aspect of their practice. This includes careful monitoring of patient progress, offering tailored recommendations, and ensuring comprehensive follow-ups.
All practitioners must meet stringent educational and certification requirements within their respective fields. These individuals have passed appropriate board examinations, completed rigorous certification programs, or finished 3-4 year post-graduate programs depending on their discipline. We require current licensure, certification, or recognized credentials where applicable and ongoing continuing education to maintain best practices in holistic health care.
Results speak louder than words. Practitioners are evaluated based on the effectiveness of their treatments, as evidenced by patient outcomes. We seek practitioners who can demonstrate a history of success in improving their patients' health and overall well-being, particularly in treating complex or chronic issues.
