Services & Expertise
Dr. Rahman offers full-spectrum primary care and provides 90% of common health needs under one roof, including:
-
We offer same day or next day appointments for urgent issues.
-
Dr. Rahman has an expertise on the latest research around "aging" as a disease and what interventions we can take to counteract, slow and even reverse some of these effects. Many of these interventions are simple lifestyle changes, but as Dr. Rahman likes to say, "simple does not mean easy!"
-
We are open to a variety of treatment options, not just traditional "western medicine". We are happy to discuss interventions including but not limited to: yoga, meditation, acupuncture, nutrition/food, mindsets, exercise, herbs/supplements, etc as part of your treatment plan. While Dr. Rahman does still practice traditional medicine, he can act as a guide or a bridge between reconciling some conflicting ideas when these two mindsets meet.
-
A guided "check-in" on your current state of health intended to discuss a plan of care to ensure future health and wellness. Dr. Rahman sees all ages and enjoys seeing the whole family!
-
We offer a variety of in-office procedures, including skin treatments, minor injury care, casting/splinting, vasectomies, and more. Call for more information.

Family planning, IUD/Nexplanon management, annual exams, as well as gynecological exams for cervical cancer screening or other acute issues.
