Frequently Asked Questions

Dr. Shustina specializes in complex digestive and inflammatory conditions, including IBS, IBD, SIBO, bloating, reflux, food sensitivities, autoimmune-related gut disorders, and chronic gastrointestinal symptoms. Her work focuses on identifying root causes rather than managing symptoms alone.

Each consultation includes a comprehensive review of your medical history, prior testing, and records. Dr. Shustina provides personalized recommendations that may include advanced testing, nutrition and dietary guidance, supplements, lifestyle optimization, and mind-body strategies. You will receive a clear, individualized protocol and have ample time for questions.

  • Standard Consultation: 90 minutes (sufficient for most patients)
  • Comprehensive Consultation: 105 minutes (recommended for complex medical histories or extensive records)

This extended time allows for a thorough, integrative evaluation uncommon in traditional gastroenterology visits.
