Listen
We begin with your history, concerns, goals, previous care, and the questions you want answered.
The Soma approach
Understand first.
Recommend second.
Good care begins with context. Our process is designed to make candidacy, limitations, alternatives, and next steps easier to understand.
Assess
A clinician reviews the information needed to understand candidacy, risks, alternatives, and whether additional records or testing are appropriate.
Discuss
We explain what may be reasonable, what is uncertain, and when another clinician or setting would be more appropriate.
Plan
If you are a candidate, recommendations are organized around your individual findings rather than a preset package.
Follow
Monitoring and follow-up are matched to the care plan and clinical need.
What you can expect
A candid conversation.
Not a predetermined sale.
Being interested in a service does not mean it will be recommended. We may ask for more information, discuss alternatives, or recommend care elsewhere.
- Clear discussion of potential benefits, risks, uncertainties, and alternatives
- No guaranteed candidacy or result
- Time to ask questions before deciding
