  • What is the Best Way to Communicate with the Office?

    The most efficient way to reach us is by sending a secure message through our patient portal.

    Please do not email us for urgent matters, as emails may not be addressed promptly. Our team will respond to messages in the order they are received during office hours, and messages submitted over the weekend will be addressed when the office reopens. This ensures we can provide you with the best possible service and timely follow-up.

  • What If I Have a Health Emergency?

    We are not an emergency care nor a primary care facility. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, please contact your primary care physician or go to the nearest emergency medical facility.

  • Do You Offer Virtual Consults?

    Yes, we offer telehealth appointments for both new and existing patients who are unable to meet in person. Virtual consultations follow the same process as in-clinic visits, ensuring you receive the same level of personalized care and attention.

  • What is Your Plan or Membership Cancellation Policy?

    You can cancel your Plan or Membership program at any time. However, please note that most medical and administrative expenses are incurred at the beginning of your program. Our team will carefully assess the charges and prorate them against the payments you have made, ensuring a fair refund of the remaining balance. Clients who are waiting for an appointment and allows us to provide the best care possible to everyone. Thank you for your understanding!

  • What is Your Appointment Cancellation Policy?

    We dedicate significant time and attention to each patient, which means our appointment slots are limited. To be respectful of our schedule and other patients, we ask for at least 3 business days’ notice if you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment.

    Cancellations made within 3 business days of the appointment or no-shows will result in the visit being forfeited.

    This policy helps us ensure that we can accommodate all patients who are waiting for an appointment and allows us to provide the best care possible to everyone. Thank you for your understanding!

  • Will I Fully Recover Within the 6-Month Plan?

    Healing from complex conditions like Mold Toxicity, Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), Autoimmune Disease, or Dementia is a gradual process. Given the years of symptoms and underlying dysfunction, it’s important to understand that this is not a quick fix.

    We anticipate that recovery will take a minimum of 1-2 years, with ongoing support and tailored treatment along the way. Our goal is to work with you to address the root causes, restore function, and support long-term healing. Patience and commitment are key for achieving lasting improvement.

  • What Treatment Recommendations Can I Expect?

    We will provide a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, which may include:

    • Nutritional Supplements to support your health and healing.
    • Dietary and Lifestyle Modifications to optimize your overall well-being.
    • Environmental Changes if we identify that your home environment is contributing to
      your health concerns.
    • Mind-Body Techniques to address the mental and emotional aspects of healing.

    Please note that your success is closely tied to actively following our recommendations. Consistency and commitment are essential for achieving the best possible outcome.

  • Why Might Specialized Testing Be Recommended?

    Specialized functional testing may be recommended to gain a deeper understanding of your unique biochemistry and physiology. These tests can involve the collection of saliva, urine, stool, breath, and/or blood samples, depending on your individual health concerns.

    Please be aware that these tests are not covered by insurance. They are an out-of-pocket expense.

  • How Much Does Functional Lab Testing Cost?

    The cost of Functional Lab Testing typically ranges from $500 to $3,000. The total cost and the number of tests required depend on the severity and complexity of your health concerns. Based on your individual needs, we will determine the appropriate tests and provide you with a clear breakdown of both the cost and the tests required for your treatment plan.

  • Will My Insurance Cover Lab Testing?

    • Conventional Labs: For standard blood work, we partner with Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp, which can typically be processed through your medical insurance. Coverage depends on your specific plan and benefits.
    • Functional Labs: These specialized tests offer deeper insights into your health but are not covered by insurance and will be an out-of-pocket expense.
  • Are the Plan and Membership Program Fees Covered by Insurance?

    Integrative and Functional Medicine takes a comprehensive, whole-person approach to your health, rather than focusing on isolated symptoms. Due to the extensive nature of our evaluations and the limitations of traditional medical insurance, we do not accept insurance.

    Our priority is to provide unbiased, patient-centered care, free from the constraints of insurance-driven healthcare models.

  • What Happens After My Initial Plan Ends?

    Once your initial plan is complete, you have the option to continue your care through one of our Membership Programs. We will recommend the most suitable membership level based on your ongoing health needs, ensuring a smooth transition and continued support on your wellness journey. 

  • How to Get Started and What to Expect

    • Step 1: Explore Our Website
      Begin by exploring our website to understand our approach to healing. You’ll find
      valuable resources to support your health journey.
    • Step 2: Schedule a Complimentary Discovery Call
      If you’re interested in moving forward, schedule a complimentary 15-minute Discovery Call
      with Dr. Kirmani. This call is an opportunity to discuss your health concerns and
      see if our approach is the right fit for you.
    • Step 3: Book Your Initial Visit
      If both you and Dr. Kirmani agree to proceed, we will schedule your Initial
      Consultation. At this stage, a fully refundable $1,500 deposit is required. We
      kindly ask that if you need to cancel, you notify us at least three business days in
      advance. Due to high demand and limited availability, this deposit ensures that only
      serious patients move forward.
    • Step 4: Comprehensive Initial Consultation
      During your in-depth Initial Appointment, we will assess your health concerns and
      recommend a tailored treatment plan. Depending on the complexity of your condition
      we will recommend either the Functional Essentials Plan or the Comprehensive Plan.
    • Step 5: Commitment to Healing (6-7 Month Program)
      Our treatment plans typically span 6-7 months. Most of our patients come to us with
      long-standing, complex health conditions. The goal of this phase is to establish a
      solid foundation for healing—please keep in mind that deep-rooted health issues take
      time to address, and immediate symptom resolution should not be expected.
    • Step 6: Ongoing Support Through Membership Plans
      After completing your initial plan, we offer membership programs to help maintain
      your progress and continue your healing journey. We will recommend a membership
      level that best suits your ongoing needs.
    • Step 7: Empowering You for Lifelong Wellness
      Our ultimate goal is to equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to take charge
      of your health. By the end of this process, we aim to empower you with the awareness
      and education necessary to become your own health advocate.
