I provide 100% phone and/or video consultations. No face-to-face encounters are available. Credit card information will be requested upon booking an appointment. Payment is due at the time of the consultation and will be collected upon completion of the encounter.
I bill based on time at a rate of $475/hr rounded up to the next 15 minute increment. Typical encounters are as follows:
Free initial 15-minute screening. This is to determine if your health conditions can be helped by my approach. I can explain the program in more detail and we can decide if we are a good match for each other. Once you schedule a free consult you will automatically receive a few brief digital questionnaires to fill out and get back to me prior to the appointment. These will help me determine if we are a good fit for each other.
If yes, then a new patient tele-health appointment will be scheduled and a very detailed health history intake link will be sent to you to fill out. This can be completed entirely online and I will need this back from you at least 48 hours prior to your appointment .
New patient consultation is a 90 minute evaluation. This may include:
- A detailed review of your history forms done prior to your appointment
- Review and discussion of your top priorities for improving your health
- My initial impressions and insights regarding your health concerns
- Recommendations for initial laboratory testing to dive deeper into discovering metabolic imbalances that may be playing a role. Lab kits will then be ordered and drop-shipped directly to your home.
- Initial treatment recommendations. This will typically involve a new diet plan and some foundational supplements. I will introduce you to the digital platform Wellworld . This will be an app-based program that serves as a daily guide for your treatment plan and allows me to track your progress remotely between visits.
- Recommendations for initial lifestyle interventions to improve your health including:
- Nutritional interventions
- Foundational supplementation plan
- Guided, stress-busting meditation program
- Sleep hygiene audit to begin cultivating restorative sleep
Followup phone or video visits are 60 minutes. During this visit I will cover topics which may include any of the following:
- Detailed review of lab results
- Recommendations for customized nutraceuticals and/or botanicals to help your specific problems
- Transitioning to a more customized food plan based upon your needs
- Medical meditations with mudras (hand positions), mantrams (powerful energy building phrases) and breathwork (pranayama) to massively shift your energy and nervous system into a healing state
- Guided medical hypnosis audio files to reprogram your subconscious mind and promote deep inner healing
- Tips to promote mindfulness throughout your day and insulate you from negative effects of work and family stress
- Phase 2 of your custom exercise plan to build strength and resilience in the least amount of time
Lakhia Integrative Health, PLLC does accept credit card payments only through Stripe or Paypal. Insurance payments are not accepted although you can pay with a Flex spending or HSA account.
Superbills with billing codes can be provided upon request. Due to contractual issues, I can not treat any patients that are currently enrolled in Medicare.
A note about supplements and botanicals…The supplement industry is a multibillion dollar industry in the United States. Unfortunately, the regulation of product quality and safety remains a work in progress. I work with several high quality, third-party verified, reputable quality supplement companies to provide my patients with the best in class products and outcomes. These products are only available through a physician prescription. Directions on how to order and have dropped shipped to your home will be provided at each visit. No patient at Lakhia Integrative Health is under any obligation to purchase supplements through our platform or use the companies I recommend. However, please understand that treatment protocols that I recommend are backed by research supported products and following these customized recommendations will give you the greatest chance at health optimization.
A note about supplement costs and product recommendations...I typically receive commission on products purchased through Lakhia Integrative Health or its associated platforms and links. These commissions are appreciated to help offset the costs of providing care, technology upkeep and time spent researching and reviewing thousands of products to ensure safety and efficacy. Whenever possible, physician discounts may be passed on to patients to help offset costs. Ultimately, your health is my primary goal and motivation when providing care and I am always open to looking at alternative products should you express interest.
In good health,
Dr. Lakhia
