Today’s guest has an amazing story that you need to hear. Dr. Sakina Dinani is the owner of Synergy Health Advisors. Dr. Dinani has such an impressive resume and an even moreimpressive attitude. At Synergy, care is designed with YOU in mind: your time, your budget, your well-being, your accessibility. In reshaping the traditional healthcare model, Dr. Dinani has introduced VIP Medical Care, alongside Aesthetics and Integrative care tailored to wellness and longevity – envision it as an exclusive, health-focused club membership!

In the early days of Synergy, Dr. Dinani laid the groundwork within the traditional insurance-based model. Starting from scratch and growing to 1800 patients, her commitment centered around prioritizing quality care, with a focus on listening, understanding, and teaching during each visit. Her expansion was fueled by word of mouth and a touch of ZocDoc magic. However, with success came new challenges – increased insurance denials, bureaucratic red tape, shorter appointments, and longer wait times. Opting for quality over quantity, she recognized the need for change before these challenges escalated. This realization paved the way for the new path of Synergy, a space where our passion is to empower and educate patients.  She also introduced Aesthetics and IV therapies to help rejuvenate overall well-being and achieve health and wellness goals.
