What is Functional Medicine? 

The Medicine of Root Cause Analysis and the Restoration of Physiological Function. It is a clinical discipline which takes a comprehensive, whole-body approach in bringing solutions to complex and chronic health problems – especially where conventional medicine has failed. Functional medicine asks how and why illness occurs and restores health by addressing the root causes of disease for each individual. Functional medicine directly addresses modulators of gene expression, an individual’s environment, and other underlying causes of disease through a systems-oriented approach. Multimodal treatment plans are given with understanding of the patient in context, all care being patient-centered and directed. 

The practice of functional medicine involves Five Essential Components: 

  1. The patient’s complete story. 
  2. A mutually empowering partnership. 
  3. Addressing modifiable lifestyle factors. 
  4. Underlying causes in a systems biology framework. 
  5. Personalized, patient-specific treatment recommendations. 

Your normal visits are about an hour long with the Doctor. Our patients normally have seen, on average, ten different doctors prior to seeing us. No matter your diagnoses or conditions, we welcome you to start by scheduling your Complimentary Initial Consultation. 

What is Your Complimentary Initial Consultation? 

It is a 15-minute consultation offering an opportunity to discuss your health concerns, learn more about our functional medicine approach, and for the Doctor to determine if this service is the right solution for your health needs and goals. This is not a diagnostic or treatment visit, but a chance to ensure mutual and beneficial alignment before beginning care. Please Note: input of a valid card on file is only to reserve your consultation - it will NOT be charged.
