Information for Patients

From the practitioner: About My Practice

Dr. Bump has been practicing Functional Medicine for over 30 years, and is currently teaching physicians how to apply this mode of healthcare in their practice. His intention is to guide each patient along a very personalized path to a balanced healthy state, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. We use state of the art diagnostic tools when establishing a patient's very individualized treatment plan and counsel patients in all aspects of healing. This includes dietary, lifestyle and stress management with a certified lifestyle educator. Dr. Bump is now offering Skype consultations world wide.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

Patients can expect to spend a couple of hours with Dr Bump during their first office visit. He believes that if he is to help someone along their health journey, then he should take the time to get to know them and to learn their story. Very often the conditions and concerns patients present with are established in patterns of behavior, microbial infections, organ weakness etc, that may have started years before symptoms began. Patients should expect to meet a doctor who cares about who they are as individuals and will, with years of skillful experience, assist them along their journey to wellness.
