INSURANCE
Dr. Shah’s practice is out-of-network with all major insurances.
Full payment is expected at the time of your visit.
Why?
Dr. Shah’s sole aim is to provide you with the highest quality health care available in medicine.
Our current medical system model focuses on patching up your health issues, like plugging holes in a leaky bucket (e.g. using medications, performing surgery, managing emergencies like heart attacks and strokes). It does not value the type of healing and preventive medicine Dr. Shah offers.
Dr. Shah needs clinical independence to optimize your healing path. Your experience will completely transcend that of a typical physician visit so we can transform your health and your entire state of wellbeing.
Think:
in-depth and multi-faceted analysis of your health issues
attention to detail
focus on the root causes of your issues
refined and personalized plans of action
targeted, tailored goals to create long term health for you
integration of modern Western medical treatments with non-Western treatment modalities such as mind-body medicine, herbs/botanicals/supplements, and acupuncture to accelerate and sustain your healing process
clear and prompt communication
connected patient-physician relationship, kindness, compassion, deep presence and care
