Services
Here's who each visit is for, what happens and what to bring.
Medical card · North Dakota & Minnesota
ND or MN residents with a condition their state recognizes, documented in medical records
Record review, your history, risks and practical questions, then Dr. Ewals' decision
Photo ID with your address, records sent ahead and a list of your medicines
Returning patients of Dr. Ewals book a renewal visit before their card expires
Men's health
Men with low energy, poor sleep or other changes who want to know what's going on
Your labs explained, other causes checked, then options, risks and how you'd be monitored
Early-morning lab results (call us for the order), your medicines and your questions
In person in Grand Forks or by telehealth, depending on your state and visit
Medical card evaluations aren't part of men's health care, and the other way around.
Why us
If you've had a frustrating experience somewhere else, you're not alone. Here are the common worries, and what we do instead.
| The usual worry | What we do instead |
|---|---|
A quick online evaluation, then nobody to ask when questions come up | A full evaluation with Dr. Ewals, who you can reach again through Will |
State paperwork you have to figure out alone | Step-by-step help with the North Dakota or Minnesota process |
A card that quietly lapses | A renewal visit with the same clinician before your card expires |
Being told what you want to hear | An honest decision. An evaluation never guarantees a card, and Dr. Ewals will explain why if it isn't right |
| The usual worry | What we do instead |
|---|---|
Being offered treatment without proper testing or a clear reason | Diagnosis first: symptoms plus early-morning labs, and treatment only if it's clinically appropriate |
Nobody mentions the downsides | Risks discussed before you decide |
Started, then left on your own | Follow-up visits and repeat labs built in, with the same clinician each time |
Low energy blamed on one cause by default | Sleep, weight, medicines and thyroid are checked too, because they cause the same symptoms |

The state makes the final decision on cards
Your clinician
Listens first, explains everything, and tells you when the answer is no
Every visit is with Dr. Charlotte Ewals, a Doctor of Nursing Practice and board-certified family nurse practitioner. No hand-offs, no rotating providers.
The ones people ask before booking. Can't find yours? Call Will at (218) 274-4500.
A government-issued photo ID that shows your North Dakota or Minnesota address, and medical records that document your qualifying condition. Please get your records to us before the visit so Dr. Ewals has time to review them. Not sure how to request records? Call and Will can walk you through it.
No. Dr. Ewals decides whether certification is appropriate after reviewing your records and talking with you. If she certifies you, the state still reviews your application and issues the card.
Each state sets its own rules for how long a certification and registry card stay valid, and those rules change. We'll confirm the current period for your state at your visit.
Usually, yes. Call us for a lab order, complete the labs, then book your visit so Dr. Ewals can review the results with you. Results are generally confirmed with early-morning blood tests, not symptoms alone.
Please don't. When we call you, we'll explain how to send records securely, for example by fax to (701) 757-0974.
No. We don't bill insurance for these visits. Keep your receipt; if you have questions about reimbursement or taxes, ask your plan or a licensed tax professional.
There's no charge to reschedule. Fees are not refundable, so please call as early as you can if your plans change.
Some visits may be available by video or phone, depending on your state and whether you're a new or returning patient. Ask when you schedule and we'll tell you what applies to you.
On South Washington Street, minutes from East Grand Forks and the rest of the Red River Valley.
