What is Integrative Medicine?
Integrative Medicine addresses all physical, emotional, mental, social, and environmental influences that affect health. A personalized strategy that considers all the patient’s needs and circumstances, it uses interventions from an array of scientific disciplines to help people regain optimum health.
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is the future of conventional medicine – available now. It seeks to identify and address the root causes of disease, and view the body as one integrated system, not a collection of independent organs divided up by medical specialties. It treats the whole system, not just the symptoms.
How do I learn more?

What is our treatment approach?
Our functional and integrative approach focuses on the root cause of your symptoms. Paired with some conventional medicine, we use specialized tests and extensive study of your entire health history to get to the root-cause of why you are experiencing symptoms. Instead of prescribing a medication to treat solely your symptoms, we use a personalized treatment plan to heal your whole body through a variety of holistic approaches to address the root cause issue which then resolves your symptoms and heals your entire body.
