Information for Patients

From the practitioner: About My Practice

We are passionate about helping individuals with complex medical conditions break free from the conventional paradigm where illness is simply managed. We focus on optimizing each individual's unique underlying environmental, genetic and physiologic imbalance, which lie at the root cause of chronic disease. Our Functional Medicine team, including Functional Medicine Doctors, Lifestyle Coaches and Nutritionists, work with our patients to develop individualized wellness protocols that will optimize diets, eliminate toxins, improve tolerance to stress, revitalize the microbiome, reverse key nutrient deficiencies, eradicate infectious entities, promote sleep and cultivate better lifestyle choices so that our patients may achieve optimal wellness

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

Our initial 75 min appointment entails a review of our extensive health questionnaire and previous testing/results prior to the actual visit that provides for a very focused discussion of the most pertinent needs for each patient. An initial protocol will then be provided with a focus on lifestyle interventions, diet and key testing. During the initial 1hr follow-up a thorough review of all testing will be performed and a more detailed wellness regimen will be crafted where our team approach doctors, nutritionist and coaches will work together to support our patient’s journey to optimal wellness. While we do not accept insurance directly for visits, we do provide detailed billing to submit for reimbursement .
