Quality Health Care, Wherever You Need It

Personalized wound care, chronic disease management, and transitional care in our office or through convenient home visits.

What We Treat

Three focused services, one nurse practitioner you already know.

Select a service to see who it is for, what a visit covers, and what happens after you get in touch.

01

Chronic Disease Management

Ongoing, coordinated care for adults managing heart failure, COPD, diabetes, hypertension, and other chronic conditions.

  • Regular visits, virtual and in-home
  • Medication review & specialist coordination
  • Early symptom recognition and prompt escalation
Chronic Disease Management →
02

Wound Care Management

Hands-on wound assessment, dressing changes, and debridement — in our Middletown office or at home.

  • In-home wound assessment & personalized care plan
  • Debridement and NPWT management when appropriate
  • A healing plan coordinated with your surgeon
Wound Care Management →
03

Transitional Care

Close follow-up in the weeks after a hospital or ED discharge, when medication changes go unreviewed and warning signs are easiest to miss.

  • First visit within 48 hours of discharge
  • Full medication reconciliation against discharge orders
  • Weekly monitoring through the first 60 days
Transitional Care →
Time-sensitive

Home from the hospital in the last 7 days?

This is the window where close follow-up matters most. Tell us the discharge date and we will start the transitional care pathway instead of a standard consultation queue.

The Problem

Discharge day isn't the finish line — but it's often treated that way.

Patients leave the hospital with a stack of new instructions, medication changes, and a follow-up appointment that's weeks away. In that gap, warning signs of decompensation can go unnoticed until they turn into another emergency room visit or a readmission.

Overbooked primary care panels weren't built for the highest-risk 30–90 days after a hospital stay — the exact window when complex, chronically ill patients need the closest attention.

Coverage & Payment

Works alongside your Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance.

No subscription and no enrollment fee — you are seen for the care you need, on the schedule your conditions actually call for.

Medicare · Highmark Delaware (PPO, Medicare Advantage, FEP, Indemnity) · Delaware Medicaid · Other private insurance (billing coming soon) · Self-pay welcome — Tikari welcomes patients regardless of coverage. Covered visits are billed directly to Medicare, Highmark Delaware, and Delaware Medicaid. Self-pay visits are available at a personalized, negotiated rate — contact us for a quote based on your coverage.

Every new patient starts the same way — an in-depth intake history, medication reconciliation, and a personalized care plan built around your conditions and goals. No referral is required.

Who It's For

Built for three kinds of patients — often the same family.

Just came home from the hospital

You or a loved one were recently discharged after a flare-up of a chronic condition — heart failure, COPD, diabetes complications, or a complex surgery — and want closer follow-up than a standard primary care schedule allows.

  • Discharged within the last 1–4 weeks
  • Managing 2 or more chronic conditions, often several medications
  • Have Medicare or commercial insurance, but want faster access to a clinician who knows the full picture
  • Live in Delaware or Maryland

Managing ongoing chronic conditions

You haven't been hospitalized recently, but you're juggling two or more chronic conditions and tired of 15-minute visits scheduled months apart with a provider who barely has time to review your chart.

  • Two or more ongoing chronic conditions
  • Wants faster access and more time with a single point of contact
  • Values a clinician who knows your full history, not just today's complaint
  • Wants a clinician with the time to look at the whole picture, not just today’s complaint

Have a Wound

You or a loved one have a wound that needs regular dressing changes or monitoring — post-surgical, a pressure injury, or a slow-healing ulcer — and getting to a wound care center every week isn't realistic.

  • Post-surgical wound, pressure injury, or chronic ulcer needing regular care
  • Referred by a surgeon's office or hospital wound care center, or self-referred
  • Wants dressing changes and healing checks on a set schedule, in office or at home
  • Available as a stand-alone service, in the office or at home
