What tests will I need?
Testing depends on your history and symptoms. Common lab panels are covered by your in-network insurance. Our provider orders only the tests that will change your treatment plan.
Does insurance cover this treatment?
Yes for our in-network carriers — Oscar Health, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, Medicare Advantage, Ambetter, and UnitedHealthcare. Our front desk verifies your specific plan before the first visit.
Can I be seen by telehealth?
The first visit is usually in-person for a complete exam. Follow-ups, medication adjustments, and lab reviews work well by telehealth for most patients.
How long does treatment last?
It depends on the condition and how you respond. Many patients see improvement within 4-8 weeks of starting a plan; chronic conditions may require ongoing management. Our provider sets clear expectations at the first visit.
Do you offer bilingual care?
Yes. All services — intake, visits, telehealth, discharge — are available in English and Spanish.
