Schedule a Consultation with Dr. McCloskey.
Dr. McCloskey’s reputation extends beyond traditional patient care, having earned the trust of fellow physicians, healthcare practitioners, health coaches, and performance professionals who seek his expertise for their own health, development, and performance. Dr. McCloskey has been providing consulting services to clinicians for almost a decade, helping colleagues with complex cases with underlying lifestyle causes. This page will allow you to request a consultation with him directly. A clinician to clinicians, a coach to coaches, and a performance specialist to those who train others, he brings a multidisciplinary perspective and individualized approach to those who dedicate their own careers to the well-being of others. This distinction reflects a unique measure of professional trust: a practitioner entrusted by those who practice, and a professional trusted by those who are trusted to care for others.
Objectives and Key Results
My first priority is to understand the case you’re concerned about and to provide you with detailed recommendations that match the case correctly and lead to robust improvement. I want to do this as efficiently as possible, while also giving you enough information that you will understand the basis for each recommendation, so you can explain it to your patient.
My second priority is to provide you with insights about the causes of your patient’s problems, so you’re able to take the insights from the consultation and apply them to other patients. Clinicians who understand key points of clinical discernment in functional healthcare achieve more remarkable outcomes with their most difficult patients. In some cases, the purpose of the consultation is to get a handle on underlying causes when the case doesn’t match any well-defined diagnosis. In other cases, the purpose of the consultation is to get clarity about how to address the complexity of the case, when the patient isn’t responding to approaches that would be expected to work. In every case, the goal is to optimize your approach and the patient’s outcome.

You are welcome to send more information ahead for me to look at during the consultation. You can write a narrative of the case, send lab results, etc. If lab results are voluminous, please summarize them, so we don’t spend the whole hour sifting through records. Narrative, labs, etc. should be emailed to () or faxed to ().
We will contact you to set up a time for your consultation.
You will need a computer with a microphone and webcam. At your consultation time, I will send you an email with an invitation to a ZOOM online session.
