What is IV therapy and how does it work?

IV therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and hydration directly into your bloodstream through a small catheter in your arm. Because it bypasses the digestive system, nutrients achieve near-complete bioavailability. Sessions typically last 30 to 60 minutes and are administered in a comfortable clinical setting by licensed healthcare professionals.

Do I need a referral to visit NPMD?

No referral is needed for most of our services. You can book a consultation directly through our website or by calling our office. For certain specialized medical services, your insurance plan may require a referral — our team can verify this when you schedule your appointment.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Please bring a valid photo ID, your insurance card (if applicable), a list of current medications and supplements, and any relevant medical records or lab results from previous providers. Arriving 15 minutes early allows time to complete intake paperwork and ensures your appointment starts on time.

Does NPMD accept insurance?

We accept most major insurance plans for our medical services including primary care, diagnostic testing, and medically necessary dermatological treatments. Aesthetic and wellness services are typically self-pay. Our front desk team can verify your specific coverage before your visit and discuss payment options.

Are your treatments FDA-approved?

Yes, we exclusively use FDA-approved or FDA-cleared devices and products across all our treatment categories. This includes our laser systems, injectable products, energy-based devices, and IV formulations. We follow strict clinical protocols and manufacturer guidelines to ensure the highest standards of safety and efficacy.

What is the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?

Botox (and similar neurotoxins like Dysport and Xeomin) relaxes muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet. Dermal fillers add volume to areas with static volume loss — cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, and jawline. Many patients benefit from both treatments used strategically as part of a facial balancing plan.

What are NPMD's office hours?

We are open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. We are closed on Sundays and major holidays. Extended hours may be available for certain services — please call our office for the most current schedule.

NPMD; Amy, one of the smartest, kindest, compassionate and brilliant Nurse Practitioners. She offers expert medical care and medical advice in a way that you understand. When she examines you and reviews your medical issues, not one detail is missed. she explains treatment options for you in a manner that is precise, individualized and understandable. When she discusses your medical problems she is so kind, soft spoken, you can feel the discussion is coming from her heart, her deep understanding of medicine and human mankind. When you are with her YOU are not a patient with a chart number and a hurried 15 minute office visit. You are sitting with a person that makes you feel you count and that you are part of her medical family. I have been coming to NPMD since it's opening in Encino, Ca. The office is very clean and quite beautiful. George, RN is so nice and so smart as well. Amy's entire staff duplicate her and her vision for what 5 star medical care should be. By the way if you are thirsty the office has the best coffee, made just for you as well as a variety of cold healthy beverages to drink. The location is easy to get to and the parking is relatively inexpensive, compared to most LA parking. My husband comes here now and every time I get a chance I always recommend that my friends or just people I speak to come to NPMD. If you can just come and visit NPMD, I am well, thriving and very very happy with the care and attention I receive for this unbelievable practice. Thank You NPMD and Amy

NPMD is not your typical type of care — they are rare and one of a kind. The professionalism takes your entire expectation to the next level. Let me begin by saying, when you step into the clinic, it feels like a luxury health center. Amy has been a blessing sent to my family and me. I could go on about her forever. She values each and every one of her patients. She explains everything clearly and makes sure all of your questions are answered. My healthcare needs have become so much easier because of her. George goes above and beyond for us... He has been so patient and kind with my 10,000 questions. No matter how busy he is, he always makes sure to be available to help. One thing I can say is that he will be sure to cure you with his big smile and energy, even on your worst day. I just want to say your work made me look so flawless and natural. I’m so glad to have found you both. Thank you to you and your staff for making us all feel so welcomed. NPMD is where love, care, perfection, and excellence come together!!!
