Frequently Asked Questions
What services does Santa Casa Center offer in Canton, GA?

Do you accept insurance at Santa Casa Center?
We are not contracted with insurance companies at this time, which allows us to spend the necessary time with each patient. We provide superbills that you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. Your labs ordered through standard laboratories are typically covered by insurance. We accept credit and debit cards for payment.
What is functional medicine and how is it different from traditional medicine?
Functional medicine takes a root cause approach rather than just treating symptoms. We address physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness by listening to patients, performing thorough evaluations, and applying integrative treatments. We treat conditions like thyroid dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, PCOS, and infertility by identifying and addressing the underlying causes rather than just managing symptoms.

Can you help with recurrent miscarriage and pregnancy support?
Yes, we specialize in progesterone and thyroid management during pregnancy using NaProTECHNOLOGY protocols. We provide regular monitoring throughout pregnancy for women with history of infertility, low progesterone, miscarriage, or risk of preterm birth. Research shows this support is associated with lower rates of pregnancy complications and preterm birth.
What is NaProTECHNOLOGY and how can it help with infertility?
NaProTECHNOLOGY is a restorative approach to infertility and women's health developed by Dr. Thomas Hilgers. Unlike IVF, NaProTECHNOLOGY focuses on restoring the body to function naturally by identifying and treating the root causes of infertility. We use the Creighton Model charting system along with targeted testing and treatment to help couples achieve natural conception.
Do you treat children and what pediatric services do you offer?
Yes, we offer integrative pediatrics with a personalized approach to treating ADHD, autism, constipation, and anxiety. We provide gene sight testing for medication management and specialty testing including comprehensive gut testing, toxin exposure screening, lyme testing, and mycotoxin testing for children.
What is the Creighton Model and can it help me avoid or achieve pregnancy?
The Creighton Model is a medically-based fertility awareness system that tracks biomarkers of a woman's cycle. It can be used for natural family planning with 96.8% effectiveness to avoid pregnancy, and it also helps diagnose and treat women's health issues and infertility. Carrie Huebner is a Certified FertilityCare Practitioner who can teach you this system.
What makes Santa Casa Center different from other medical practices?
Santa Casa Center is rooted in Catholic medical values while treating all patients with compassion regardless of background. We take a wholistic approach addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness. We spend more time with patients than traditional practices, focus on root causes rather than symptoms, and offer specialized services like NaProTECHNOLOGY that aren't widely available in the Atlanta area.
