History & symptoms
- The story you have told in five-minute pieces, finally heard in full
- The pattern lives in the timeline
- The timeline is the part that usually gets skipped
Six specialists, six reports, and the pattern between them is the part nobody reads. Dr. Heather Skeens reads it as one picture, and you leave with one clear next step.
A single visit reads one slice and stops. Dr. Skeens reads your labs, your sleep, your oxygen, and your history against each other, the way the body actually works, so the connection between them stops hiding in the gaps.
A board-certified eye surgeon turned functional physician, Dr. Skeens carries two habits most workups never use together: read one structure with absolute precision, and read the whole field in the same glance.
So she holds the map, history, symptoms, labs, sleep, oxygen, and reads your picture herself, alongside Dr. Pastouk, in one room.
It is the one place vessels and tissue can be watched directly. Dry eye, redness, and what the vessels show are read as signals of oxygen and whole-body patterns, never a verdict on their own.
Medicine is built in columns. Each one signs off the moment its own numbers land in range. You live as one connected system, and the pattern lives in the space between the silos.
Read alone, each column is fine. Read together, the low edge of three at once is the pattern.
None of these is a diagnosis. Each one is a clue, scattered across your history and waiting to be read as one picture.
"My labs are normal but I still feel terrible."
"Still tired after CPAP."
"Six specialists. Zero answers."
"Nobody is connecting the dots."
"Eight hours of sleep, and I wake up like I never slept."
"I am exhausted from being my own doctor."
The reason there is an eye surgeon in the room is not cosmetic. The eye is one of the very few places the body's vessels and tissue can be watched directly, so how well your whole system is supplied and oxygenated can be read right there.
Dr. Skeens, an eye surgeon trained in functional medicine, reads the eye alongside your labs, symptoms, sleep, and history, watching what it shows about how the body is running. One window among many, read together, never a verdict on its own.
Eye observation is a non-diagnostic, integrative input only. It does not diagnose, and it does not replace care from your own doctors.
One region sits outside almost every physician's training and inside almost every fatigue story: the mouth and the airway. That is why Aligness is two doctors, not one.
Procedures don't heal patients. Physiology does.
The medical pattern and the airway lens are read in the same room, so a finding in your airway is weighed against your labs in real time.
At the end of your review you receive your personalized Blueprint. It takes everything read together in one room and turns it into a clear, sequenced set of priorities.
Private and by application. It starts with a short, honest review. If it fits, both doctors read your whole picture together in one unhurried visit. Consults run online, patients fly in to be seen. If it does not fit, we tell you plainly.
