If chronic problems are robbing you of productive days and restful sleep, you can feel better. Have too-general lab tests failed to explain your symptoms? In hypothyroidism, for instance, there are at least 23 potential places in the body where thyroid function may be disrupted. A Functional Medicine approach involves natural treatment and is more thorough.
I had been very ill for many years and had been to every kind of doctor. Dr. Carrick helped me gain a higher level of function where no one else could. She is a brilliant, caring, and gifted healthcare professional who has made a big difference in my life.* Dr. Carrick's goal is to help patients be genuinely well and stay well- patients who didn't get better with traditional medical care.

It's a natural approach to getting well and staying well, by looking at whole-body systems to find the underlying cause of ill-health. Genetic testing, muscle testing and lab work, including blood, stool, urine and saliva tests are used in diagnosing. Dr. Carrick's goal is to help patients reach an optimal level of energy, mental clarity and immune-system strength.
Cost of the initial visit includes 1.5 hours with Dr. Carrick and any in-office testing. A shortened 1-hour visit is also available; however, this visit doesn't allow as much time for a deeper diagnosis. Bring any available blood test results. Patients will be removing only their socks and shoes. Changes in physiology precede pathology (illness), so discovering early problems with our core physiology is helpful.
Carrick is the first doctor who showed me with words and actions that she cared about my health. I couldn't believe that in a few appointments a lot of the chronic internal issues I had been suffering from were starting to correct themselves and without the use of harmful medications! She is extremely thorough.*
Allergic reactions use immune-system resources, which leaves us unable to protect ourselves from invaders like viruses and pathogenic bacteria. Allergies are an immune-system overreaction, so taking antihistamines all year long is not an answer. Antihistamines treat symptoms like a runny nose and itchy eyes, but they simply mask a problem that could have serious ramifications.

In all my years of visiting doctors I have never received such careful, attentive, and intelligent care. Dr. Carrick is a gift and a Godsend. I had been having some health issues for years that were not helped by traditional medicine and I wanted to treat naturally. Dr. Carrick was recommended to me by a friend. After a phone consultation I went through a series of tests. At my in office visits she thoroughly explained everything to me, took time to answer my many questions, and has helped me tremendously. She really cares and it shows. I am feeling so much better, and I am so thankful I went to

Please excuse the long review, but to recommend, I must explain. Dr. Karen has been a saving grace in my time of need. Earlier this year I knew something was off in my body; I did online research and, through a website of Dr. Wentz, found Dr. Carrick. I made an appointment and, while waiting to meet, kept feeling myself going downhill. I called before the meeting and asked if I could get the requisition to get my labs completed. I went on a Friday, and on Saturday (before even meeting her), Dr. Carrick called me personally, explained that my levels were off, and made recommendations.
So far, three

I found Dr Carrick by chance however I was skeptical at first as I am with anyone when it come to my health. Reason being if you name it I’ve done it, if you name them I’ve seen them and the result were them same. A waste of money but most important a waste of my time which I can not get back. I’ve have had a traumatic life and a whole host of health issues. One in particular is back problems I had surgery in 2012 and after the surgery I have atrophy of the whole left leg, numbness in the calf, heel, and toes. I was in constant pain since 2012 that ran down the sciatica with associated edema

Excellent care!!! I am 56 years old and I've suffered from migraines, muscle tension, celiac disease, insomnia, IBS and a number of other illnesses. I am amazed and elated to say that I can eat what I want when I want. I'm mindful, of course, of the things that can cause the body harm. There are things that are detrimental to our health so with that in mind I push forward and continue my care with Dr. Carrick. She, in my opinion, is one of the best doctors I have ever come across! it's been such a tremendous blessing to have her in my life. I can't top telling people about her! I want everyone

Dr. Carrick has worked wonders on me, my family and friends. She is able to listen to the body and get to the root of physical and even some mental stresses. I highly recommend her for anyone with chronic pain, sleep problems, injuries, dietary concerns and even intense/abnormal menstrual cycles due to hormonal imbalances.

Dr. Carrick's knowledge and application of applied kinesology is remarkable and has significantly helped my daughter with histamine issues, adrenal fatigue, and MTHFR gene mutation treatment. My daughter was in pain for a long time and she finally had a breakthrough due to Dr. Carrick's expertise. I highly recommend seeing her especially when regular medicine no longer have any answers.
