My Story

For over three years, I have dedicated my medical practice to one core principle: patients come first.

When I entered the medical marijuana evaluation space, I witnessed a troubling pattern. Patients were being charged $150 to $250 for initial evaluations, then forced to wait seven months before addressing changing symptoms—all while paying premium prices at dispensaries that had no connection to their physician care. It felt exploitative, and it wasn't medicine; it was a business model designed to extract maximum fees from vulnerable people seeking relief.

I knew I had to build something different.

The Aatma Approach

Over the past three years, I have evaluated hundreds of patients across Florida. I've studied the nuances of cannabinoid profiles, strain-specific effects, and optimal routes of administration (flower vs. edibles vs. oils). I've also learned what patients truly need: accessible, affordable, consistent physician oversight.

This experience led me to create Aatma Medical Marijuana Evaluation—a direct-care practice that prioritizes patient outcomes over profit margins.

Why Direct Care Matters

Traditional medical marijuana clinics operate on a transaction model: you pay the fee, you get the certification, and you're invisible until recertification time. I rejected that model. Instead, I designed a subscription-based approach where you have ongoing access to physician guidance, unlimited treatment adjustments, and continuity of care—all at a fraction of the industry standard.

The result? Patients save money. Patients get better outcomes. Patients stay with me.

My Commitment

Every patient at Aatma receives:

  • Direct physician access – No corporate middlemen, no appointment-factory logistics

  • Individualized cannabis management – Not one-size-fits-all recommendations

  • Transparent, minimal fees – No surprise charges, no hidden renewal costs

  • Monthly telemedicine flexibility – Adjust your treatment as your needs evolve

  • Clinical expertise – Evidence-based cannabis medicine, not guesswork

I measure my success not by revenue, but by patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes. My patients return because they know I genuinely care about their wellness journey, not their wallet.

Why I Built Aatma

Medical marijuana is not a trend or a loophole for me. It is legitimate medicine for people suffering with chronic pain, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, and other qualifying conditions. These patients deserve a physician who listens, who adjusts treatment thoughtfully, and who charges them fairly.

I built Aatma to be that physician.

If you've been frustrated by expensive clinics, invisible doctors, or the seven-month certification treadmill, you've found the right place. Your care matters. Your satisfaction matters. And your wallet matters too.

Welcome to direct-care cannabis medicine. Welcome to Aatma.
