Invest in Your Health with Confidence and Clarity

Both: telehealth video visits for residents of our 20 covered states, and in-person visits at our office in Costa Mesa, California.

Typically within a few days to 1–2 weeks, depending on urgency — compared with the 4–6 month wait in the traditional system. No referral is required.

Far more than a 10–15 minute visit. Your Clarity Evaluation includes up to 2 hours of records review beforehand, a full one-hour 1:1 with your physician (telehealth or in person in Costa Mesa), testing and medications ordered as needed, a written action plan, and up to 15 days of follow-up support.

California residents can be seen at our Costa Mesa office. We also welcome travelers from across the country, including Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Florida, and Oregon.

Following your initial consultation, you and our physician will determine together if our practice is the right fit for your needs. Should you choose to become a patient, we require a minimum six-month membership.

This time frame ensures we can effectively start, adjust, and optimize your treatment plan for meaningful progress. Throughout this period, you’ll have consistent communication with our specialist.

After six months, you’ll decide if continued care here best suits your ongoing needs. If you wish to cancel, a 30-day written notice is required.

We’re a direct-care practice and don’t bill insurance for physician visits — by design — but you can use your insurance for labs, imaging, and medications, and we provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement. HSA/FSA accepted, and discounted cash pricing is available for high-deductible plans.

If an in-person evaluation is necessary, we’ll coordinate to arrange an appointment. California residents can be seen at our office in Irvine, and we also welcome patients from across the country, including frequent travelers from states like Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Washington, and Oregon.

Our goal is to provide you with the most comprehensive care, whether locally or from afar.

Yes, you are welcome to use your insurance to cover the cost of laboratory tests, imaging, and treatments. We aim to help you optimize the benefits of your healthcare insurance premiums.

However, if you have a high deductible, we offer transparent pricing and significantly discounted rates for labs, imaging, and many medications. So, you will control your finances and choose what is best for you. There will be no surprise bills from us ever.

Many people can use their Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for membership, though eligibility may vary.

We recommend checking with your HSA administrator or employer to confirm if our membership qualifies under your specific HSA plan. While some patients find it eligible, we cannot guarantee this will apply to everyone.

Unfortunately, our physician’s doctor cannot order tests before their initial evaluation that will determine which tests are appropriate and/ or necessary for your specific condition. After this evaluation, we can order laboratory and imaging tests like CTs, X-rays, and MRIs.

This approach ensures you receive personalized care and undergo only the most relevant and necessary tests, avoiding unnecessary expenses.

Yes — about 80% direct discounts on labs and many imaging studies, plus discounted cash pricing on many medications. We discuss all costs with you before ordering anything.

Yes, we do offer Superbills. After your consultation, we can provide you with a detailed superbill upon request. This document includes all the necessary information to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

While we can’t guarantee reimbursement, as coverage varies by insurance plan, this superbill gives you the documentation needed to file a claim with your insurance provider for out-of-network benefits, if applicable to your policy.

Yes, you can transfer your care from another rheumatologist to our practice. We welcome patients seeking to change their care provider. To ensure a smooth transition, we’ll need your medical records from your previous rheumatologist.

Once we receive your information, our rheumatologist will review your case thoroughly. We’ll then schedule a comprehensive initial consultation to discuss your condition, current treatment, and any new recommendations.

Our goal is to provide seamless continuity of care while offering our expertise to optimize your treatment plan.

After you book the consultation, you will receive a personalized invitation to set up your patient portal with our practice.

Once your account is set up, you can securely upload your medical records into your patient portal before your appointment. This allows our rheumatologist to review your medical history in advance, making your consultation more efficient and informative.
