WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE?

The Functional Medicine approach is an individualized, patient-centered approach that goes beyond the usual "pill for an ill" model, digging deeper to treat the root cause.  As an MD, I stand firmly behind evidence-based medicine.  Functional Medicine is not an alternative, but an adjunct to "traditional" medicine, offering additional tools to understand each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors.  These tools allow Functional Medicine physicians to provide personalized treatment plans that lead to improved patient outcomes.
