You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers.

There are two main groups of people consulting in Functional Medicine: individuals living with one or more chronic conditions and people not feeling well while not being aware of having any health conditions. Regardless of the situation, an initial assessment will provide a TON of information regarding your health and will be well worth your while. However, if you are suffering from any acute injury, illness or active cancer, conventional medicine is the way to go. We will be here to assist you with your recovery.

Please consult our Fee Schedule page for an estimate of cost.

It is our intent to empower every patient with the knowledge of what is going on with their health. So often, this new understanding comes with relief and hope. However, it is not until we fully apply the treatment plan that real change will happen. This can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. As a benchmark, we expect subjective (how you feel) improvement within the first 2-3 months. Objective (labs, biometrics, etc.) improvement typically takes a little bit longer to catch up but is expected within the first 4-6 months of your Functional Medicine journey.
