How it works

Three steps. The first one is the only one that's hard.

STEP 01

Reach out

Submit the new-patient form, or call the office. We respond within one business day.

STEP 02

First visit

60–75 minutes. We talk through what's going on, what's worked, what hasn't, and what you want.

STEP 03

Plan together

Medication if it fits, counseling referrals where helpful, and follow-ups paced to your goals.

Philosophy

“Most of the people I see have already tried to stop. Sometimes many times. Our job isn't to convince them they have a problem — they know. Our job is to make the next try the one that works.”

Faisal Shabbir, MD

FOUNDER & PHYSICIAN

Ready when you are

The first visit is just a conversation.

Bring whatever questions you have. We'll figure out the next step together — and only the next step.
