From the practitioner: About My Practice

At the Pittsburgh Center for Functional Medicine we have a passion for helping individuals with complex medical conditions break free from the confines of the conventional paradigm where illness is simply managed. We bring a sharp focus on optimizing each individual's unique underlying environmental, genetic and physiologic imbalances which lie at the root cause of chronic disease. We work very closely with our patients to develop individualized wellness protocols that will optimize diets, eliminate toxins, improve tolerance to stress, revitalize the microbiome, reverse key nutrient deficiencies, eradicate infectious entities, promote sleep and cultivate better lifestyle choices so that our patients may achieve optimal wellness.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

Our initial 90 min appointment entails an extensive review of our 22 page health questionnaire and previous testing/results prior to the actual visit which provides for a very focused discussion of the most pertinent needs for each client at the office. An initial protocol will then be provided with a focus on lifestyle interventions, diet and key testing . During the initial 1hr follow-up a thorough review of all testing will be performed and a more detailed wellness regimen will be crafted. While we do not accept insurance directly for visits we utilize for testing whenever possible and provide superbills to submit for reimbursement . We take pride on close relationships with our patients and are available at all times to help!
