Health Improvement Institute
Take Charge Of Your Health
At Health Improvement Institute LLC, patient care is different. The practice was founded on a simple yet powerful idea: every patient deserves time, attention, and personalized care that addresses the their health concerns.
Dr. Verma offers a telehealth and home-visit practice where the doctor-patient relationship can thrive, free from the constraints of traditional, high-volume medicine. As a board-certified physician, Dr. Verma takes pride in listening deeply, developing comprehensive diagnostic and treatment plans, and guiding patients on their journey to optimal health. You will experience healthcare that is patient-centered, thorough, and focused on lasting wellness, rather than a “pill-for-every ill” approach that seems prevalent in our sick care system.
Dr. Verma provides a holistic approach to wellness and longevity, including a detailed health assessment, personalized dietary advice, exercise coaching, discussions on how to minimize exposure to environmental toxins, and tailored supplement recommendations—all grounded in evidence-based strategies to meet your unique needs.
Serving patients via telehealth/virtual visits in California, Florida, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.

your trusted physician
Varun Verma M.D.
Varun Verma M.D. is an experienced physician who graduated medical school in 2008.

He has served in esteemed hospitals such as UCSF, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Columbia Medical Center, Mount Sinai, and Jefferson Health.
Dr. Verma founded Health Improvement Institute LLC after witnessing the significant toll that poorly managed chronic diseases take on patients’ lives.

Driven by a passion for improving quality of life, Dr. Verma partners with his patients to help them achieve their health and wellness goals.
What is Health Improvement Institute?
Health Improvement Institute provides Internal Medicine, Obesity Medicine and Wellness & Longevity Consults for patients aged 18-64 years old.
What services do you offer?
We offer telehealth physician consult services as well as home/office visits in select locations in South Jersey.
Are You a Primary Care Office?
No, the practice does act as your Primary Care physician in any capacity. Patients should establish or maintain a relationship with a primary care physician.
Do You Accept Insurance or Medicare?
The Practice does not participate in any health insurance plans, HMOs, or other third-party payors, whether private or government sponsored. We see adults 18-64 years of age and are unable to see Medicare or Medicare eligible patients.
How Much is a Physician Consult?
Please see our services page. We are here to help you on your journey to better health and wellness.
Are Labs or Meds Included in the Consult?
Labs are ordered to be drawn at Quest/Labcorp. Patients are responsible for additional cost of laboratory testing and diagnostics.
A Focus On Preventive Care
Your brief annual physical isn’t enough—you need an ongoing relationship with a physician who can guide you in preventive care and help you optimize your diet and exercise. Our healthcare system often focuses on treating illness instead of promoting wellness, waiting until problems become critical before taking action.
It doesn’t make sense to wait for a stroke to start prioritizing your physical health, for a heart attack requiring a stent or bypass to address your risk factors, or for dementia to begin focusing on nutrition and avoiding ultra-processed foods.
Together, we can change that.
An Epidemic of Chronic Disease
We live in amazing times of technological advancement, yet it seems we providing a pill for every ill without addressing root causes. 6 in 10 adults have at least one chronic disease
- Heart disease: Affects 30+ million adults
- Cancer: About 1.9 million new cases diagnosed annually
- Diabetes: 37.3 million people (11+% of population)
- Obesity: 40% of adults
- Hypertension: Affects nearly half of all adults
