"Before I was introduced to Dr. Matt, I was seeing different specialists every month without getting any results. I felt like I had to heal myself and that left me in limbo. With Matt I feel like I deserve to be well. He is a fantastic listener and master at solving puzzles. I’m amazed at his attention to detail and amount of time he takes to listen to my laundry list of symptoms. With his guidance, I’m grateful to be the best version of myself I’ve ever been."

She's the perfect blend of supportive and responsive without coddling. She will help you get wherever you want to be. She is Magic.” — AJ, Client

With regards to Insurance

The Buddha’s Medicine is not empaneled with any insurance carriers.

  • For most private insurance plans, out-of-network reimbursement is an option via superbill submission.

  • If you are covered under Medicare &/or Medicaid, please know that Ayurveda & adjacent approaches to care are not a covered benefit.

    If you are a patient with any type of Medicare plan, you may see us as a patient upon signing an Advanced Beneficiary Notice (ABN) form, which we can provider. However, none of our services are reimbursable by Medicare.

  • Although our rates are standard, accessible care is a top priority for us. Financial health is health, too. Whether you’re a new or established patient, we encourage you to let us know if you would benefit from a reduced rate.

We’ll do the best we can to make services available to you.
