The
Process
before
Prior to your arrival, Dr. Singla thoroughly reviews records from your primary care provider and sub-specialist(s).
during
In addition to a review of your diagnosis, clinical course, and medications, Dr. Singla takes a deep dive into your current symptoms, and performs a thorough physical exam. She also reviews your nutrition patterns, exercise, sleep, stress, emotional/self-regulation abilities, and social support.
Dr. Singla reviews the diagnosis and expectations of your illness as well as potential complications and side-effects associated with your diagnosis and medications.
​
After discussion of the diagnosis and treatment goals, a customized Game Plan is crafted​​​ blending conventional and complementary therapies. Don't worry, we won't make you do this alone (see Step 2).​
Labs are collected in the office. They are billed to your insurance company. If you don't have insurance, we have discounted cash pricing as well.
​
​​Orders for appropriate imaging, medications, and referrals are placed. ​​
Auricular acupressure is applied as indicated (if desired).
after
Dr. Singla communicates your plan of care with your primary care provider and specialist(s).
​​
Dr. Singla calls you about 2 weeks after the initial consult to discuss lab/imaging results and adjusts the Game Plan/Roadmap as needed. Additional questions are also addressed at this time.
Step 2
Implementing the Roadmap to Remission with a "Rheum-mate"
The treatment plan and overall goals will be mapped out using a customized Roadmap. It will differ from individual to individual, but may include various elements such as:
-
Starting disease or symptom specific medications and supplements
-
Incorporating movement, exercise, or physical therapy
-
Working with our nutritionist to determine the right calorie and macronutrient balance based on your lifestyle and condition.
-
Partnering with our nurse to explore breathwork techniques, meditation, Reiki, or Multi-Vibrational Therapy (MVT).
To help you implement your Roadmap, you work with our "Rheum-mate," or integrative health coach, who works with you (and your family) to provide practical, customized solutions to fit your unique lifestyle, challenges, and schedule. This may include getting guidance on:
-
Meal planning and preparation strategies to reduce flare-ups
-
Strategies to improve sleep quality despite pain
-
Relationship & communication coaching (e.g., setting boundaries, asking for help)
-
Creating a balanced daily routine that prevents burnout
The Roadmap concludes with a follow up visit with Dr. Singla to assess your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
