Rahav Wellness | The Center for Collaborative Healing
A small Chelsea practice built around long appointments. Dr. Miriam Rahav, the only physician here, is joined by two nurse practitioners, a colon hydrotherapist and an IV technician, and the clinic works in functional medicine: long intakes, extensive functional lab testing, and treatment aimed at root causes of chronic symptoms rather than at a single diagnosis. It is one of the few clinics in this guide that publishes an actual fee schedule, a two-hour first consultation with Dr. Rahav is $1,000, and the guide lists what the first two visits will cost before you book. It takes no insurance, and there is a $150 non-refundable fee just to hold the appointment.

Plain-language groupings help make different clinic service menus easier to understand and compare.
Consultation, assessment and testing
The long first visit and the lab work that follows it. The clinic runs functional panels alongside familiar labs and says it reads them against optimal rather than normal ranges.
Applied kinesiology and autonomic response testing
A biofeedback-style physical exam the clinic attributes to Dietrich Klinghardt, MD PhD, and Louisa Williams, DC ND, used to look for nervous-system stressors. This sits outside conventional diagnostics.
IV and infusion therapies
Drips mixed for you rather than off a standard menu, prepared through local compounding pharmacies. No IV price is published anywhere on the site.
Colon hydrotherapy
Colon hydrotherapy with a dedicated therapist, triple-filtered water and single-use equipment. Sessions are described as about an hour. No price is published.
Prescriptions, supplements and other therapies
What gets prescribed or dispensed after the workup. Refills requested outside a scheduled appointment carry a $25 fee, and controlled substances always require a face-to-face visit.
What the clinic publishes
$150 non-refundable. Non-refundable “placeholder” fee charged when your appointment request is confirmed. The clinic states the fee carries over to a rescheduled appointment provided you give more than 48 hours (two business days) notice. It is a fee to hold the slot, not the price of the visit, the visit is priced separately in the fee schedule.
