My Story

For over three years, I have dedicated my medical practice to one core principle: patients come first.

When I began focusing on specialized telehealth evaluations, I witnessed a troubling pattern. Patients were being charged $150 to $250 for initial visits, then forced to wait many months before addressing changing symptoms—all while paying premium prices elsewhere, with little continuity or coordination of care from the evaluating clinician. It felt exploitative, and it wasn’t medicine; it was a business model designed to extract maximum fees from vulnerable people seeking relief.

I knew I had to build something different.

The Aatma Approach

Over the past three years, I have evaluated hundreds of patients across Florida. I’ve developed deep experience with complex symptom patterns, response variability, and how different therapeutic delivery methods and dosing strategies affect day‑to‑day functioning. I’ve also learned what patients truly need: accessible, affordable, and consistent physician oversight.

This experience led me to create Aatma Telehealth—a direct‑care practice that prioritizes patient outcomes over profit margins.

Why Direct Care Matters

Many conventional clinics in this space operate on a purely transactional model: you pay a fee, you receive a one‑time approval, and then you are effectively invisible until it is time for renewal. I rejected that model. Instead, I designed a subscription‑based approach that emphasizes ongoing access to physician guidance, flexible treatment plan adjustments, and true continuity of care—all at pricing that is intentionally more accessible than typical industry structures.

The result? Patients save money. Patients experience better‑supported care. Patients choose to stay.

My Commitment

Every patient at Aatma receives:

  • Direct physician access – No corporate middlemen, no appointment‑factory logistics

  • Individualized treatment management – Not one‑size‑fits‑all recommendations

  • Transparent, minimal fees – No surprise charges, no hidden renewal costs

  • Monthly telemedicine flexibility – Adjust your treatment as your needs evolve

  • Clinical expertise – Evidence‑based care, not guesswork

I measure my success not by revenue, but by patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes. My patients return because they know I genuinely care about their wellness journey, not their wallet.

Why I Built Aatma

Therapeutic options are not a trend or a loophole for me. They are legitimate medicine for people suffering with chronic pain, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, and other serious conditions. These patients deserve a physician who listens, who adjusts treatment thoughtfully, and who charges them fairly.

I built Aatma to be that physician.

If you’ve been frustrated by expensive clinics, invisible doctors, or the “see‑you‑in‑seven‑months” renewal treadmill, you’ve found the right place. Your care matters. Your satisfaction matters. And your wallet matters too.

Welcome to direct‑care, physician‑led medicine. Welcome to Aatma.
