The Amana Approach: Clarity through Clinical Rigor

Our approach prioritizes accurate diagnosis and patient education to build a sustainable path forward.

Our Pillars

the patient journey

  • A free 15-minute clinical screening with Dr. Ismail to review your history and ensure our diagnostic-focused model is the right fit for your goals.

  • Based on your initial consultation, we establish your foundation through a deep-dive assessment:

    • The Diagnostic Intake: A 75-minute physician-led evaluation for those seeking diagnostic certainty and medical management.

    • The Therapeutic Intake: A dedicated session with our clinical therapist to establish behavioral goals and therapeutic rapport.

  • Once your roadmap is established, we enter the phase of active healing and growth. Your follow-up care is tiered to your needs:

    • Standard Clinical Review (20 Mins): Focused medication optimization and stability monitoring.

    • Extended Clinical Consultation (40 Mins): In-depth reviews for complex cases or detailed patient education.

    • Clinical Therapy Session (55 Mins): Personalized roadmap aligning your daily habits & mindset to build long-term resilience.

  • Objective Diagnostic Integrity: In many traditional settings, providers are pressured to assign a "billable diagnosis" immediately to justify insurance reimbursement. At Amana, your diagnosis is a clinical tool for your recovery—not a financial requirement for a claim. We focus on accuracy over "boxing" you into a category for the sake of a billing code.

  • Data Sovereignty: In our model, your clinical records remain strictly between you and your healthcare team. We do not share your private health information with third-party insurance auditors.

  • The 75-Minute Intake Standard: Our model allows for initial evaluations that are significantly more thorough than the industry standard, ensuring no detail of your history is overlooked.

  • Continuity of Care: Your care is never interrupted by employer-driven insurance shifts or "network disruptions." Your relationship is with our team, not an HR department.

  • Clinical Autonomy: The frequency and duration of your treatment are determined by your progress and clinical evidence—not by arbitrary corporate "session caps."

The Value of a Direct-Pay Model

Practice Boundaries & Safety

  • Exclusions: We do not provide evaluations for Autism Spectrum Disorders or treat acute psychiatric emergencies.

  • Medicare/Medicaid: Due to federal regulations, we cannot see patients with government-sponsored insurance, even for cash-pay services.
