We believe finding the root cause of illness and addressing it directly helps our patients achieve the balance that ultimately leads to long-term health and wellness.
Our Personalized Approach
There are numerous ways to apply the concepts of Functional and Integrative Medicine to an individual patient. Below is a summary of our process.
Health History
Functional and integrative medicine begins with you. The patient-centered focus of the functional medicine model allows the physician to truly get to know you and your health history.
Examination
A functional medicine practitioner knows that each person is unique and has their own set of medical data that is needed to make an assessment. Many patients seek functional medicine to help solve questions left unanswered by the conventional medicine approach. Sometimes patients are neither sick from a pathological perspective nor 100% well in terms of how they feel.
