Miami Living: Tailoring Your Healthcare Plan to a Tropical Lifestyle

A plant-based physician in Miami, Dr. Simoni Baid, MD, enjoys educating her patients. It is important to her to guide people through any ailments or medical struggles with attention to their all-inclusive needs. The key to the doctor's approach is in her maternal energy and sensitivity to the body and its mental health requirements. She aims to guide you medically and spiritually through education and mindful, holistic practice.


Understanding the mind and body connection is crucial to caring for yourself daily, and this holistic doctor aims to share knowledge so that when you feel the urge to reach for her expertise, you'll have confidence as to what to do next. She is a great confidant and a successful caregiver, but at which point should you call Dr. Baid most effectively? Is making a trip to the urgent care clinic or an emergency room the best idea?


First off, using Dr. Baid for preventative care is highly recommended because you can gain knowledge about some basic daily habits, like understanding the qualities and benefits of drinking water to support health and optimize your mind and body function. Concierge care is a service that Ahimsa MD offers and works like a health care retainer wherein you and your family invest in an agreed upon amount of funds so that health care won't be an issue that causes stress.


The financial investment for preventative care negates the possibility of negligence to potential medical or mental health problems. Owning comprehensive knowledge about the conditions best suited for urgent care versus emergency room trips and scheduled visits will empower you in the moment of need and help you make the best decision. A holistic care physician and family doctor with both pediatric and adult primary care abilities, Dr. Baid, has compiled the following list for quick reference:


Visit Urgent Care in Miami if you or your children have any of these symptoms:

• Ear discomfort or a steady ache

• If you have a little allergic reaction to something

• If a urinary tract infection feels like the problem

• If your sinuses are bothering you

• A little fever

• Some vomiting or diarrhea, not a major discomfort

• A little cut that might need stitches

• A sprain in your wrist or ankle

• A sore or swollen throat

• Exposure to poison ivy


• Non-emergent medical problems


When Should I Go to the Emergency Room?

• If chest pain feels severe

• When breathing is difficult or out of control

• A traumatic injury

• Bleeding that is severe

• A big allergic reaction

• A seizure

• Any sudden changes to vision


When Should I Schedule an Appointment for My Children?

Dr. Simoni Baid is a great resource for newborn care. You can schedule an appointment for infancy wellness visits at any time. Even early & late childhood wellness visits are an option. Staying connected over these integral years of growth is a great way to use her services as a parental tool and to support your baby's guidance into the future with confidence. Integrative care from an early age can make a huge difference in the quality of your little human's life.


Adolescent wellness visits are a great way to stay on top of any budding ailments and provide information about your teen that you might not otherwise have insight into. Sports medicine physicals, back-to-school physicals, and calling on Dr. Baid for school immunization forms are other great ways to utilize her service. She can also help address special needs like ADHD screenings, Autism Spectrum Disorder care, or asthma and allergy care to help your child stay on top of things that need to take priority for their own concerns, like homework, grooming, and self-care.


Ahimsa MD prioritizes the holistic nature of the human experience with attention to nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, and relationships. Making sure that our patients understand that personalized care is our speciality, we want you to know that our urgent care service is always available. Knowing when to go to the emergency room versus making a trip to our urgent care is so important. Rest easy knowing that you can reach out to her from the emergency room and keep her updated for individualized aftercare after the acute emergency care center stabilizes you or your children.


Dr. Baid takes care of two children of her own. She understands the importance of empowerment through knowledge so that you know when to call when something doesn't feel right or goes wrong with your mind or body. The best way to stay healthy with a practitioner at Ahimsa MD is to remain open to your mutually developing relationship over time. Allowing Dr. Baid to provide holistic support to you and your children is mutually important to your evolving relationships. We look forward to the possibility that we might connect with you and your family. Please reach out to us; we look forward to working together so that you and your family stay healthy and happy.
