Evidence-based addiction medicine built on harm reduction, compassion, and the belief that recovery is not a one-size-fits-all process.
Zephyr Medical Group was built on a single conviction: that the people who need the most help often receive the least of it. We reject the idea that one approach fits everyone. Every patient receives a plan that respects their biology, their circumstances, and their readiness.
Dr. Banimahd brings decades of experience to addiction medicine, treating substance use disorder as a chronic disease — not a moral failing — with the same rigor, continuity, and compassion that any chronic condition deserves.
Meet patients where they are. Every step toward health is progress.
Every treatment plan grounded in peer-reviewed science and clinical data.
No scripts. No templates. A plan built for your biology and your life.
