In Dr. Natalie Driessen's own words

How Dr. Natalie Driessen describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • The practice advocates for a thoughtful, medically guided approach to peptide therapy, emphasizing building a treatment plan around individual health, goals, and clinical picture rather than selecting peptides based on online trends.
  • This is important because we want to understand your baseline organ function before considering any new therapy
  • The practice is honored to be a part of patients' skin health and aesthetic journey.

Specialization

  • Specializes in Plastic Surgery

Technique

  • We check zinc because it plays an important role in immune function, wound healing, and normal skin and hair health
  • Throughout treatment, we're looking at a few things. Are you noticing improvement in your skin quality, recovery, or specific goals we established before starting? Are you tolerating treatment well without side effects?
  • In my practice, I typically use Glow and define six to eight week treatment cycles followed by a reassessment
  • Dr. Natalie Driessen's practice checks vitamin D levels as part of their patient evaluation.

Consultation

  • Baseline Labs gives us another piece of the clinical picture so we can determine whether peptide therapy is appropriate for that individual and have values to reference as we monitor treatment

Cost & consultation

  • We now accept Cherry Financing!

Safety

  • Dr. Natalie Driessen does not use Glow during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$1,332

Payments

15

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Natalie Driessen received $1,332 across 15 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Integra LifeSciences Corporation.

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
