We practice Functional Medicine seeking nutritional and biochemical imbalances or burdens that may be causing symptoms of fatigue, brain fog, IBS, pain and/or need medications.  We listen to personalized, unique stories and share the inter-connected clues to the health puzzle. We often recommend cutting-edge science-based testing to search for underlying deficiencies or triggers causing symptoms.  We adapt our recommendations to unique patient needs through lifestyle, optimizing digestion, adding food as medicine and supporting detoxification to increase nutrient absorption, and bring your body back to vibrancy.

Our specialties:

* IBS – Constipation – Diarrhea – GERD – Bloating    * Fatigue     * Brain Fog     * Adrenal and Thyroid Dysfunction
* Auto-Immune conditions      * Allergies
* Diabetes and Insulin Resistance     * High Cholesterol     * Hormone Balancing

• Initial consultation appointment:
  Your first appointment requires a completed health history prior to scheduling an appointment. This consultation must be in our Hopkinton office. *Unless you are in Florida at the time of your consultation as our practitioners have full licensure for Telehealth with Florida patients*.
  After the initial consultation, should your symptoms allow it and it’s more convenient to you; you may opt to have phone or telehealth appointments. At the initial consultation we will review the health history, your unique symptoms, treatments and any lab/imaging data to date. This appointment typically lasts 1.5-2 hours. At the end of your appointment, you will leave with a unique Functional Medicine testing schedule and initial steps to reduce your symptoms which often involve diet, lifestyle and or supplement recommendations.
• First Follow up appointments:
  Our patients will typically follow up 2-4 weeks after their initial consultation to review their testing results, check in with recommendations from their initial appointment and start a new schedule of individual recommendations. These appointments typically run 45min to 1 hour.
• Follow up appointments:
  Once you have had your first few follow up visits, many patients follow up every 2-4 months as a way to ensure their health goals are being met (reducing symptoms or conditions, optimizing body function, ensuring medications and recommendations are effective, vibrant life, etc.). These appointments are typically 30-45 minutes. All appointment fees are pro-rated to time.

Virtual appointments
We have phone and telehealth follow-ups appointments available.
Florida residents are seen by telehealth only for all appointments.
**Virtual appointments are rarely reimbursed -through insurance claims.

Good Faith Estimate Notice

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care may cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
