We live in a society where the goal of healthcare is identify the best medication for your symptom or disease. We’re just taking pill after pill, chasing symptoms and side-effects. The obvious deficit is that we are not looking for the underlying causes of our symptoms/diseases. Even the most minor symptoms can foreshadow more serious conditions that will develop at a future time. This often happens in a domino effect in which a minor imbalance within the body produces a cascade of symptoms that can eventually lead to poor health and chronic illness. For this reason, SevaMed Institute focuses on a thorough assessment of these underlying causes and triggers of dysfunction in order to understand how to begin the process of disease reversal.
 
Despite the fact that the major chronic diseases of today are reversible through diet, exercise, and stress impact management, most physicians are not adequately trained for this.  SevaMed Institute specializes in identifying the root cause of disease and then implementing targeted interventions including therapeutic diets, nutrient therapy, individualized physical activity, and behavior modification techniques in order to restore optimal function.  Leading edge research shows this is where medicine is headed in the coming decades, but we practice this successfully today.  We help patients bring their thoughts of getting healthy and turn them into the reality of being healthy.

We take education very seriously and believe that our patient success is due to our dedication to providing an individualized care plan designed to effectively make a lifelong positive change. We call this ‘Patients Powered by Knowledge” and believe you have the greatest opportunity for success when you understand the how and why of your health challenges.

Unlike many doctors' offices, we understand that you are an important member of the clinical team. We strive to meet you where your health exists today no matter your health state. We treat patients with the most chronic, complex illnesses as well as those patients who enjoy good health and prioritize maintaining it through healthy aging.
 
Your care plan is based on the type of interventions you choose. In the spirit of ‘Patients Powered by Knowledge’ you will always be educated on all appropriate options ranging from prescription medications through natural therapies and any combination of the two.
 
The foundation of our services lies in our clinical expertise and in our Team Approach in helping you achieve your health goals. Your care plan will be developed and directed by Dr. Saxena and implemented with one of our clinical team members through several insurance-based office visits. Each one of our clinical team members has their own area of expertise, therefore it is not uncommon to meet with many or all of them based on your individualized care plan needs. 
 

Additionally, we provide a Care Plan Coordinator who is directly involved to ensure that all aspects of Dr. Saxena’s care plan are managed and that all of your questions are answered. We coordinate our comprehensive services and multi-faceted team through weekly team meetings where patient cases are discussed to regularly assess care plan progress. We are proud to utilize ‘Case Conference’ as a truly effective strategy that is usually employed at leading U.S. hospitals.

‘Seva’ is an ancient Sanskrit word that translates to ‘selfless service’ and Dr. Saxena’s original commitment to providing this type of service to the community remains as our driving force. We understand that changing a patient’s health means changing a person’s life, a person’s family, a person’s community….even the world we live in. This is the Seva in the SevaMed Institute. Let’s make change together.
