The path

Three steps, no surprises

The free consultation

Fifteen minutes by phone or video. This isn't a clinical visit. It's a conversation: what's going on, what you're hoping for, and whether we're the right fit. If we're not, Dr. Mwania will say so and point you somewhere better suited.

Before your first appointment

Once you book, you'll receive intake forms to complete online at your own pace, and we'll verify your insurance benefits so cost is settled before you arrive. Telehealth patients receive a secure video link; in-person patients receive directions to our Temecula office at 27555 Ynez Rd, Suite 407.

Your first appointment

A focused, respectful conversation where your story leads. You'll talk through possible treatment paths, including the benefits and risks of each, and leave with a clear plan, next steps, and your questions answered.

Telehealth

If your visit is by video

You'll need a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera; a private, quiet spot; and to be physically located in California at the time of your visit (a licensing requirement). Join the link a few minutes early. That's the whole setup.
For parents

A child's first visit moves at the child's pace

You'll be included from the start. Your observations are essential, and nothing will be discussed or decided without you in the loop. Bring report cards, notes from teachers, or anything else that helps tell the story. Bring your child's questions too.

Between visits

Care continues after the appointment ends

Follow-ups are scheduled at a rhythm that matches your plan: closer together while things are settling, further apart once they're steady. For refills and non-urgent questions between visits, contact the office and we'll respond promptly.

The hardest step is the first one.

It's also the shortest. Fifteen minutes, free, and no pressure at all.
