What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine strives to understand how your body functions and what we can do as your medical team to help it function in a more healthy and efficient way. This type of medicine uses both holistic and traditional methods of treatments and therapies. Our goal is to identify and treat the root cause of the patient’s ailments rather than treating the symptoms. To do this, we treat the whole patient in all aspects of life from lifestyle, diet, stress levels, hormone levels, and everything in between.

Many of our patients come to us with a variety of symptoms that were dismissed by other doctors. Below is a list of functional medicine case study articles documented by Dr. Beverly Goode-Kanawati.

Our method involves a thorough and complex evaluation of every aspect of your wellbeing into areas that are often overlooked by other healthcare practitioners.
From life stressors to extensive functional test data to what foods you eat, and more. We ask about it all! We take the time so together, we can craft the right plan for you.
Our functional healthcare practitioners successfully treat (but not limit to) the following areas:
- Thyroid and Endocrine Disorders
- Autoimmune Diseases and Disorders
- Gut Health, Food Allergies and Sensitivities
- Hormone Imbalances
- Lyme’s Disease and other Tick-Borne Illnesses
- Cardiovascular Disease
What to expect from a New Patient Appointment
The appointment is a 1 ½-2hr long evaluation that is spent with the practitioner with whom your appointment was scheduled. During that time you will discuss your concerns, medical back ground, possible testing and treatment options. Also included in the initial cost are a urinalysis and physical exam.
Due to the length of the appointment, we take a $60 deposit at the time of scheduling. This will apply to your total new patient visit cost when you come in that day and can be refunded if you choose to cancel as long as it is 24 hours prior to your appointment.
Our follow ups are charged by the amount of time spent in the appointment with the practitioner only. If you feel like you need more than a one hour appointment, we do request that you inform the scheduling coordinator at the time of your appointment. Before the new patient appointment all patients are given a consent regarding these fees and we are happy to copy this for any patient if it is requested.
Please call us at 919-844-4552 if you have any questions.
