General
Who is Safi Physicians Consulting for?
Our services are designed for aspiring medical students at every stage of the application process. Whether you're preparing your first application, reapplying, or simply looking for guidance on strengthening your profile, we're here to help.
Why should I choose Safi Physicians Consulting?
We believe exceptional advising should be accessible. Our mission is to provide personalized, high-quality mentorship at an affordable price while giving every applicant the individualized attention they deserve.
Unlike many large consulting companies, we take the time to understand your unique story, goals, and experiences to help you build the strongest application possible.
Why are your prices significantly lower than many other consulting companies?
Our mission has never been to make mentorship exclusive. We intentionally keep our pricing accessible because we believe talented applicants should not be priced out of high-quality advising.
Lower prices do not mean lower quality—they reflect our commitment to making exceptional mentorship available to more future physicians. Every applicant deserves personalized guidance, honest feedback, and a mentor who is genuinely invested in their success.
Who will I be working with?
Every client works directly with Saylob Safi, founder of Safi Physicians Consulting and a current medical student at Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine.

Do you write my essays for me?

All advising sessions are conducted virtually through Zoom or Google Meet, making it easy for students across the country to receive personalized guidance.
Timeline
When should I begin working with an advisor?
The earlier, the better.
Many students begin working with us months before submitting their application so we can develop a thoughtful strategy and build the strongest possible application.
However, we also work with students at every stage of the admissions cycle.
How quickly will my essays be returned?
Turnaround times vary depending on the season and package selected. Most documents are returned within 3–5 business days, with expedited turnaround available for select packages.
Admissions
Do you guarantee medical school acceptance?
No.
No ethical advising company can guarantee acceptance to medical school.
What we do guarantee is personalized mentorship, honest feedback, strategic guidance, and our full commitment to helping you submit the strongest application possible.
Do you work with both MD and DO applicants?
Yes.
Our advising is designed to help applicants pursuing either MD or DO programs.
Can you help reapplicants?
Absolutely.
Many successful applicants are accepted after strengthening their application through thoughtful reflection, strategic improvements, and a clearer understanding of what admissions committees are looking for.
