Medical Marijuana

As a part of our Holistic Program, Dr. Cheikin uses various herbal remedies to help with your healing. He will support your use of Medical Marijuana (MM) as a part of your healing protocol. He does NOT see patients exclusively to provide a MM card. If you are a current patient, Dr. Cheikin can certify the need for medical marijuana with the Pennsylvania Department of Health.  You will need a doctors note confirming that you have one or more of the 23 eligible diagnoses listed to the right. If you are receiving treatment from Dr. Cheikin for an eligible condition, he can provide both the doctor’s note and certification. 

Fees (Current Patients Only)
     Initial certification (in-person Zoom evaluation): $150
     Follow-up certification within 15 months: $125
     Discount available for seniors and those with hardship.

     Insurance does not cover this fee.

  1. Must be at least 18 years of age.
  2. Must be a legal resident of Pennsylvania and provide proof of residency.
  3. Must register with the Pennsylvania Department of Health. 
  4. Must be diagnosed with one of the 23 qualifying conditions (to the right) by a licensed practitioner.
  5. Must receive certification from an approved practitioner after an in-person examination.

Application Steps

  1. Go to the Patient and Caregiver Registry and fill out your information to create a patient profile.
  2. Obtain a note from a licensed practitioner that you suffer from one of the 23 qualifying medical conditions.
  3. Have an in-person (or Zoom) evaluation by Dr. Cheikin who then can provide Certification to the Pennsylvania Department of Health if you meet the criteria for the Medical Marijuana Card. 
  4. Return to the Patient and Caregiver Registry and pay a $50 fee to obtain a medical marijuana card.
  5. The card will take approximately 30 days to be issued and received.
