How Do Consultations Work?
Initial Consultation:
In your first session, you get to share your “story” with Dr. Karuna. Your health goals, concerns, present symptoms, family history, past medical history, current medications, nutrition, lifestyle, emotional and environmental stress are all assessed to gain full understanding of your unique health and beauty needs.
A detailed and comprehensive form is completed. An extensive medical history of acute and chronic conditions is taken to determine the root cause of the health concerns. Lab work is suggested accordingly. Health goals are explored in depth.
Initial visits are usually 1 hour in length. Extended visits are necessary for specific cases.
Follow – Up Consultation:
After assessing patterns, connecting the dots and analyzing the information from your first session, Dr. Karuna creates a comprehensive protocol for you and outlines ‘next steps’ for you to achieve your health goal and a clear plan towards getting results is discussed.
Recommendations are given in a personalized protocol specific for a patient’s lifestyle and needs. The protocol changes and is fine tuned as the patient gets results.
Follow up visits can range from 30 minutes to 2 hours for advanced cases. This is discussed with the patient. Follow-up sessions are done via phone. Extended follow up visits may be required for specific cases and if desired by the patient.
Virtual Consultations:
Dr. Karuna offers virtual consults internationally.
