FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What types of conditions can functional medicine help with?
From autoimmune to digestive, hormonal, chronic fatigue, diabetes, and mood disorder conditions, many chronic health problems can respond to functional medicine, particularly in people who haven’t found solutions with conventional treatments.
What is functional medicine and how is it different from conventional medicine?
Functional medicine is the study of body systems in order to find the underlying causes of disease. It’s a patient-centered method of medicine and it uses evidence-based techniques to diagnose and treat chronic disease. Conventional doctors manage symptoms with medication but Functional Medicine Practitioners aim to treat the cause of disease by focusing on lifestyle, genetics, environment and nutrition.
How is treatment different?
We use the best tools and techniques of conventional medicine, with lifestyle strategies including nutrition, exercise, stress management & relationships, sleep and supplements to target drivers of disease. As a patient in our office you may be prescribed medication or supplements in the form of herbs or nutrients to restore health. Our patients also work alongside health coaches and their medical provider to help facilitate the achievement of healthcare goals.
What should I expect at my first appointment?
Your initial visit may include an extensive health history, lifestyle and diet evaluation and possible laboratory testing. The practitioner will take more time with you than a typical office visit, to help you share your unique health story, and work to develop a treatment plan that is specific to the root causes of your health concerns.
What can I expect as a patient?
Once an initial visit has been scheduled, you will complete extensive medical history and medical symptom questionnaires NO later than 48 hours prior to your scheduled office visit – please allot 1 hour for completion on a desktop or laptop computer. The initial office visit will take around 75 minutes, during this we will review health history and health concerns, determine the necessary laboratory studies or bloodwork to identify the root cause(s), and discuss a collaborative care plan. After the first visit a follow up appointment is scheduled to review test results and follow up with your progress and/or any changes with the care plan created during the initial meeting. Each patient in our office is assigned 1: 1 with a health coach to address nutrition recommendations, mindfulness practices, stress management techniques and exercise suggestions. We also host a variety of monthly group class events to further enhance our patients progress with their care plan.
How much is an office visit?
Our initial office visit consists of a 1 hour visit that is dedicated to identifying your health concerns, reviewing your medical history, lab records and any diagnostics you may have, and determining the most appropriate plan to identify root causes of your concerns. We will determine what laboratory tests and diagnostics may be appropriate to begin your start of care. You can use insurance for labs and diagnostics. The initial office visit fee is $379. We offer a monthly membership to continue care for as low as $175 a month and this includes all office visits, discounts on services and supplements in the clinic, 1: 1 Health Coaching, and unlimited group health coaching classes. Without the membership follow up visits are $349.
Do you except insurance?
Medical office visits are not billed through insurance, but you can use your insurance for lab studies and diagnostics. You can also use HSA/FSA funds here in the clinic.
