Services Offered

My services have evolved to meet the diverse needs of my patients. These include:

Primary Care:

I offer holistic consultations that integrate lifestyle, history, and genetics. However, I recommend maintaining a primary care physician for comprehensive, ongoing care. My role is to complement your existing care as a consulting provider.

Psychopharmacology and mental health management:

I am available to see patients for the sole purpose of prescribing for and treating mental health diagnoses including depression, anxiety, and PTSD. You would maintain your primary care physician, and, in this role, I would serve as a consulting provider.

Hormones and weight loss:

While I consider these to be basic primary care, I am aware of how these issues have been neglected in medical care over the recent decade and aim to prioritize awareness and education and provide safe, comprehensive and patient centered options.

Additional Notes

I recommend maintaining an insurance plan, as my services are designed to complement your existing coverage.
For non-Medicare services, payment is due in full at the time of service unless otherwise discussed. I accept cash, check, Venmo (@swanekamd), Zelle (stacy@drwaneka.com), or credit card payments.
All prices, schedules, and policies are subject to change. Your feedback and input are always welcome.
