As a plant-based physician, she has successfully reversed chronic hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, prediabetes, and Type 2 diabetes in many patients who were able to quit their dependence on pharmaceutical medications altogether.

VISIONARY APPROACH
Root Cause Medicine
Good health and lifelong wellness depend on the body's optimal natural balance. Total healing and health restoration are only possible when the root cause of illness or disease are precisely identified and treated. PHW follows the Functional Medicine (FM) clinical model — an evidence-based, biological systems approach to health care focused on preventing and reversing illness, as well as promoting lifelong wellness. We gather and analyze patient health data to assess the patient's overall health condition. We know that chronic medical conditions manifest differently for different people that is why we focus on your specific bio-individuality and health condition(s). We assess lab values, genetics, experience, lifestyle, and environment factors to precisely identify the core sources of the patient's condition. We methodically evaluate your unique core metabolism, bio-transformation, energy production, immune modulation, and hormonal regulation bio-markers. We work alongside the patient to re-balance their body’s core systems through diet, lifestyle and targeted medical-grade supplementation. We develop precise patient treatment plans — highly personalized road maps to include medical-grade nutraceutical and compounded supplements, holistic therapies, and specific dietary and lifestyle protocols to naturally reset your unique integrated core body systems. We treat your body's core systems so that nothing slips through the cracks to proactively prevent and reverse the risk of chronic illness, as well as promote extended wellness. When the root cause of illness are successfully treated, we find that patient symptoms typically resolve naturally. We are always with you for whatever comes your way. Personalized, precision, and preventative care that you deserve.

CONCIERGE CLINIC FEES
Direct Specialty Care (DSC)
PHW is a no-insurance DSC concierge clinic for men and women. DSC is an innovative healthcare model where we directly partner with you rather than restrictive third-party health insurance middlemen. We directly provide you with the most advanced specialty care services available while bypassing health plans altogether from limiting us from what matters the most to you — your personal health and well-being. Health insurance operates on the traditional medicine model of treating illnesses and diseases exclusively from pharmaceutical medications to hospital-based specialty procedures and surgery. PHW's whole health care model is totally different. We strive to minimize, if not eliminate altogether, patient dependence on pharmaceuticals and hospitalizations. Our proactive health model is focused on prevention and wellness coupled with a totally holistic approach to restoring and rejuvenating your health and well-being. As a no-insurance clinic, we use the latest proven treatments coupled with extensive patient engagement and extended provider accessibility. That is why most PHW patients experience superior clinical outcomes — above and beyond that of conventional health care. Direct Primary Care (DPC) services are available to patients upon request.
NOTE: It is highly recommended to have a health insurance plan for unforeseen catastrophic medical emergencies, requiring hospitalization or surgery; as well as for ancillary health care services, including labs, radiology, imaging, etc.
Accessible To Everyone
PHW is free to join and accessible to everyone. No health insurance is needed. No physician referrals or previous authorizations are required. No copays. No coinsurances. No deductibles. No insurance runaround. No complex medical bills. No hidden or surprise charges. No concierge patient membership or subscription fees. Simply pay for just your concierge care services rendered per appointment with the flexibility and convenience to see us again at anytime. As a no-insurance clinic, we have eliminated the substantial operational and administrative overhead required to participate with all health plans. We instead directly pass these savings on to you with reasonable and transparent clinic visit fees. That is why annual PHW patient care typically costs 40% less than spiraling health plan deductibles and premiums that offer less and less member benefits each year. PHW clinic visit fees are determined on a patient-by-patient and appointment-by-appointment basis to include:
NOTE: PHW clinic fees are not inclusive of any optional patient health care administrative services, including third party medical records review, current medical records copies, third-party patient forms, disability determinations, dietary counseling, patient advocacy or special request letters, etc., which are an additional fee and solely the patient's financial responsibility. Patients are also solely financially responsible for all of their third-party ancillary health care services, including their labs, pharmacies, imaging, etc.
NOTE: A one-time, non-refundable, $100 initial appointment reservation deposit is required upon scheduling your initial office visit appointment to be credited towards your initial clinic visit fee.

Frequently Asked Questions
DOES PHW ACCEPT NEW PATIENTS?
New patients and referrals are welcome. We see both men and women. All initial clinic visits are in-person appointments at our Tysons clinic. All follow-up clinic visits may be in-person clinic or virtual Telehealth appointments.
NOTE: PHW is a no-insurance, concierge care clinic that does not participate with any health plan. Patient payment for each clinic or telehealth visit is due at the time of each appointment. A one-time, non-refundable $100 deposit payment is required to reserve initial clinic visit appointments.

NOTE: Patients must be punctual for all scheduled appointments. No show or tardy patients unnecessarily disrupt our practice and inconvenience both our patients and staff.
HOW ARE PHW DSC FEES LOWER THAN WHAT OTHER SPECIALISTS TYPICALLY CHARGE?
As a no-insurance, DSC concierge clinic, PHW has eliminated the necessary substantial operational overhead and administrative costs to participate with health plans. Instead, we pass these significant savings on directly on to you with reasonable and transparent clinic fees. That is why annual PHW patient care typically costs 40% less than spiraling health plan deductibles and premiums that offer less and less member benefits each year. Other specialists charge much higher fees because they typically bill health insurance plans that we do not do.
CAN PHW BE MY PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER (PCP) AS WELL?
PHW does offer Direct Primary Care (DPC) services upon request.
DO I STILL NEED HEALTH INSURANCE?
It is highly recommended to have a health insurance plan for any unforeseen catastrophic medical emergencies, requiring hospitalization or surgery; as well as for ancillary health care services, including labs, radiology, imaging, etc.
