Frequently Asked Questions

We’d love to be your partner along your journey towards vibrant health! Please review frequently asked questions listed below and feel free to contact our staff for any other questions via email or phone.

Scheduling & Visits

During your initial consultation, Dr. Raman will carefully review and discuss your medical history as well as perform any needed physical exams and review previous lab tests or medical records. If you are a good candidate for our services, Dr. Raman will discuss the necessary lab tests and schedule your follow-up appointments.

Please call our office to set up a free discovery call to learn more.  We would be happy to answer your questions.

If you are NOT an in-state resident, your initial visit at Excel Health MD must be in person. After the first visit, all follow up visits can be conducted by phone or virtually using our secure video channel if you choose.

Patients have unlimited email access with our Excel Health MD provider team. However, if an email question or request is deemed by one of our staff to be too complicated or involved for a response via email they may, at their discretion, require that the patient schedule a phone, telemedicine or in person visit instead of responding via email.

There is a 24-hour cancellation policy for all appointments with an Excel Health MD doctor, health coach, or team member. Canceling within 24-hours will result in a $50 charge to the credit card on file.

No-shows: If you do not show up to a phone, video/telemedicine or in person appointment without notifying the specific person you have an appointment with either via email or by changing the appointment using the online scheduling tool on the patient portal, you will be charged $100 to the card on file.
