- CryotherapyThere are separate fees for procedures such as electrocardiograms, skin biopsies, cryotherapy, tuberculosis skin tests, and immunizations
- Primary CareMy goal is to provide a medical home of continuous, timely, and accessible primary care for my patients. In order to do this, my practice is set up differently than most.
- Family PracticeIn October 2005, I transitioned from an academic medical practice with the UC San Diego Medical Group, where I was a faculty clinician for the previous 15 years, to a solo private practice in Family Medicine in the beautiful north coastal San Diego County town of Encinitas, which I have called home since 1988.
- Emergency CareIf I refer you to a hospital emergency department for an acute problem that needs a higher level of care I will call ahead to notify them and speak with the emergency department physician if necessary
- ElectrocardiogramMy office is small but comfortable in space and minimal in patient volume. I answer the phone myself and when I can’t do so the voice mail message gets transcribed and sent to me in an email. I take vital signs, give shots, and run EKGs. My medical records are electronic. So, I don’t need an office manager, medical assistant, or file clerk. All of these features combine to greatly minimize the overhead cost of running the practice, which allows me to pass that savings on to patients in terms of keeping the practice small and keeping the practice membership and office visit fees relatively low.
- ImmunizationsBecause the wholesale cost for various immunizations varies widely so do the fees that I charge for various injections
- Physical TherapySylvia G., personal trainer, Encinitas: I would like to sincerely thank you for introducing laser therapy to me. After several months of frustrating pain in both my hip and my foot I had reached my limit. I had already gone through some physical therapy and had been convinced by a podiatrist that surgery was the only alternative for my foot. I was greatly opposed to this treatment since it would mean that I would be off my training regimen for at least 12 weeks. This was not acceptable to me. This is when a client of mine, Dana G., mentioned that she had a treatment that had cured her tennis elbow pain.
- Tennis ElbowDana G., Carlsbad: Dr. Marty Schulman’s Avicenna High Power Laser Therapy is my miracle! I had been suffering with tennis elbow for over 6 months and no treatment was able to relieve the pain and keep it away like his laser therapy did. I had tried everything from OTC pain relievers to cortisone injections to acupuncture, all without lasting relief. From the second session with the laser I had complete relief from all pain associated with moving my wrist! Subsequent treatments worked on my residual elbow pain and after a total of 12 treatments my pain is 99% improved and I now often forget that my elbow was ever a problem. Everyday movements like putting on my seatbelt, answering the telephone, and lifting things no longer cause pain, and I have been able to lift weights at the gym for the first time in over 6 months with no pain whatsoever. I feel like I have a new elbow thanks to Dr. Schulman.
