Turning a New Leaf in Healthcare
Concierge Holistic Primary Care · Chicagoland
Unhurried virtual visits with a board-certified physician — blending evidence-based natural and conventional medicine, so you can make truly informed decisions.
Why TeleTonicMD
After over a decade of medical practice, I saw how often profit-driven healthcare overlooks natural, effective alternatives. At TeleTonicMD, we restore the balance — presenting all of your options, pharmaceutical and natural, so you can make truly informed decisions about your health.
Extended appointments allow us to explore your lifestyle, diet, exposures, and supplements — leaving no leaf unturned in your care.
Evidence-based natural therapies, integrated with conventional medicine — including the options no one else takes the time to explain.
Comprehensive care that addresses why you're unwell, not just how it shows up. Every aspect of your health matters.

About
University of Missouri–Kansas City · Baylor College of Medicine · University of Chicago Medicine
Throughout my medical career at prestigious institutions including Baylor College of Medicine and University of Chicago Medicine, I have witnessed firsthand how the conventional healthcare system often prioritizes profits over patients. Too many times, I have seen pharmaceutical solutions pushed when natural alternatives could provide better outcomes with fewer side effects.
This realization, combined with my experience managing complex chronic conditions in Medicare patients, drove me to create TeleTonicMD in 2024 - a practice where every patient receives the time, attention, and comprehensive information they deserve. Here, we explore all your options, honor your body's natural healing abilities, and empower you to make decisions that align with your values and goals.
As a registered Medical Cannabis Certifying Physician and advocate for integrative medicine, I bring both traditional medical expertise and openness to alternative therapies that truly work.

We operate on a hybrid model. Our monthly membership covers comprehensive, holistic primary care — unlimited visits, direct access to Dr. Afzal, and care coordination — outside of traditional insurance. Additionally, we accept Medicare for eligible clinical visits, which are billed separately. This means Medicare patients can benefit from both the personalized attention of a membership practice and the coverage they've earned. Payment plans are also available based on income.
We specialize in managing multiple chronic conditions common in Medicare patients, including diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, arthritis, autoimmune diseases, mental health conditions, neurodivergence, and pain disorders. Our integrative approach is particularly effective for patients seeking natural alternatives or those who haven't found relief with conventional treatments alone.
Virtual visits are conducted via secure video conferencing. You'll receive a link before your appointment. Dr. Afzal will conduct a thorough consultation, review your health history, and create a personalized treatment plan. Follow-up care includes secure messaging for questions between visits.
