OFFICE VISITS

NLS clinic Dr Saifi goal is to understand the patient and all the factors that impact his/her health. The first visit is a comprehensive one-on-one consult lasting 1- 1.5 hours long. During this time a complete medical intake will be taken and any recent laboratory work will be reviewed. Your diet and any daily habits that may be influencing your health will also be addressed. Dr. Saifi will then work together with you to develop a customized plan to optimize your well-being.

A follow-up visit, lasting 45 minutes to an hour, will likely be scheduled for one to two weeks after the initial consult to discuss progress and any further questions or alternatives that may arise once you have begun the customized health plan. At this point, the patient often understands the goals and objectives of the health plan and is motivated to take the steps necessary to achieve optimal health. Subsequent visits are scheduled as needed with the frequency varying from patient to patient.
