Many people who seek medical care do not always have a clinically identifiable disease. They are told they have "normal" labs - normal when compared to the rest of the sick population, but a long way from optimal health. Functional medicine doctors use optimal ranges to detect physiological changes.
Evaluating these chemistry shifts enables us to treat the underlying cause of the dysfunction long before there is a diagnosable disease. When we feed our body "empty" foods that supply no value other than to fill our bodies, our bodies start to malfunction. When we eat a clean, healthy diet, we may be stacking the deck in our favor, but there are other uncontrollable factors that may disrupt the process of digestion and absorption.

Our office offers a brief consultation visit, absolutely free of charge. This is an opportunity for you to present your concerns to the Doctor or Nurse Practitioner in a short conversation, where they can address any questions you may have regarding our clinic and how we may be able to best benefit you.
The full New Patient Appointment is approximately 60-90 minutes. During this visit, your medical history and current concerns will be reviewed and discussed. You will also undergo our in-house testing, which includes live cell microscopy. Following this first appointment, you will receive orders for any necessary labs; this further ensures that you are provided with the best and most thorough treatment possible.
