From the practitioner: About My Practice

Dr. Bump has been practicing Functional Medicine for over 40 years. For each patient he develops a very personalized path to restore balance physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. State of the art testing is used when establishing a patient's individualized treatment plan. All aspects of healing are addressed which includes dietary, lifestyle and stress management. Patients establish a close working relation with Dawn who is a certified lifestyle educator and nutritionist as she guides them through their treatments. Our practice is based on love and sharing, assisting all patients in finding better balance in their health.
Dr. Bump has been doing virtual consultations globally for over14 years.

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 needs to 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. Dr Bump feels that patient-doctor relations form a team that work best when done together.
Patients can expect a doctoring experience unlike any they have ever experienced because they will know quickly that Dr. Bump cares about them and that his knowledge and experience runs deep.
