We are currently not accepting new patients for our insurance-base primary care practice, except through personal request. Our practice is at this time full. However, our specialty services, including hormone balance, functional medicine, weight management, epigenetics, and nutritional care is available to new patients through our private pay consultation option.
Consultation - Private Pay
We are accepting new private pay consultations for our multiple specialty services including hormone optimization with bio-identical hormones and pellet therapy, complicated functional and internal medicine consultation, epigenetic evaluation, peptides/stem cell treatments, and weight management. Our consultation charge will be dependent on the service provided. Generally, initial consultation fee is $300 and subsequent fees will be $150. We do accept distant and out of state consultations, which can be done virtually or in office.

Epigenetic Testing and Consultation
Epigenetic Testing and Consultation
Epigenetics is the study of how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work. Unlike genetic changes, epigenetic changes are reversible and do not change your DNA sequence, but they can change how your body reads a DNA sequence.
Consultation will go over the results of the patient's customized genetic report which is generated through StrateGene from the seekinghealth.com Website. The report will require the patient to upload their raw data from 23andMe or Ancestry DNA.
The results help patients determine if they have genetic variations that can lead to susceptibilities to specific health issues. This report will provide information as to where a patient's DNA has certain changes, or variations, known as SNPs or single nucleotide polymorphisms. SNPs change the structure and shape of the specific enzymes they create. These enzymes can be related to nutrient levels, toxic byproduct breakdown, and even mood. Knowing where our genes and enzymes need support is important for optimizing health.
Functional Medicine Consultation
Functional Medicine Consultation
Functional medicine determines how and why illness occurs and restores health by addressing the root causes of disease for each individual. The functional medicine model is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness.
It requires a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and leverages that data to direct personalized treatment plans that lead to improved patient outcomes. By addressing root cause, rather than symptoms, practitioners become oriented to identifying the complexity of disease. They may find one condition has many different causes and, likewise, one cause may result in many different conditions. As a result, functional medicine treatment targets the specific manifestations of disease in each individual.
