About The Practice
When diagnosing a patient, Dr. Seema Khaneja listens. She asks questions – and listens to what you say.
“One of my professors taught me that if I did not have a good idea of what was going on with my patient after taking the history, I needed to stop. Doing the physical exam and lab tests would not give me the answer. I needed to go back to my patient, because there were surely questions that I had not asked, or perhaps I had not listened to what was said. The history would give the diagnosis in most cases. The physical exam and lab tests would then confirm the diagnosis.”
Her professor’s advice has served her well.
What are the defining qualities of Dr. Khaneja’s practice? She listens to every concern. She takes her time in assessing her patients, taking their history and fully understanding the causes of their ailment – from both medical and mind-body standpoints. She aims to understand the whole person, on all dimensions and in the context of their family and social environment. Patients are given choices and empowered to make their own decisions about their treatment.
Her approach appeals most to clients who want to take an active role in their own and/or their child’s healing. These patients understand that modalities that work with the body’s innate ability to heal may take longer than conventional approaches – but often will address the root cause of illness.
Dr. Khaneja brings balance to medicine. As a board-certified pediatric doctor, she practices safe, conservative medicine. As a physician trained in homeopathy, she sees you as a complete, unique person, addressing all aspects of your health.
With more than a decade of medical experience, Dr. Khaneja uses all her expertise and knowledge to help you choose the best options for yourself and/or your child. She uses a variety of modalities, including homeopathy, relaxation, meditation and an Ayurvedic approach to diet and nutrition.
Her gentle, patient and warm bedside manner helps adults and children relax and feel comfortable throughout the consultation. A mother herself, she brings a sense of play and understanding of children and parenting into her professional work. Dr. Khaneja listens to all with compassion and understanding.

Referrals
Dr. Khaneja accepts referrals from primary care physicians, but a referral isn’t needed to set up an appointment. She’s happy to work in collaboration with your physician on your diagnosis and progress if requested. Since Dr.Khaneja is a consultant, she cannot act as your primary care provider. She requires that each patient have a primary care provider that they are seeing on a regular basis.
Fees
Fees are set at an hourly rate for $125 per hour, with initial consults generally lasting about 1 ½ to 2 ½ hours. Follow-ups are generally 30 to 45 minutes long. For chronic medical or behavioral concerns, follow-ups will be needed, usually scheduled monthly.
