Frequently asked questions.
What Type of training did you receive?
I am a medical doctor who received my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Debusk College of Osteopathic Medicine. Here I learned a holistic approach to medicine.

I then started my initial academic Functional Medicine training in 2017 eventually receiving my FMACP. Here I learned advanced modern testing to apply concepts like involving gut dysbiosis, neurotransmitter health, complex toxic markers
Do you accept insurance
We can help prepare a statement to your insurance company which may cover some services but not all. This program is considered above the standard of care and therefore the insurance company considers it as elective. Our approach to Functional Medicine is an investment into your health as we push the limits to adding value to your mind, body, and biochemistry.
Do you work with patients outside of Atlanta, Georgia
Yes of course we do! We are one of the first world’s leading innovators combining Advanced Coaching with Modern medical testing. We currently have licenses in 30+ U.S. states with our Telemed Concierge service.
How long will my Optimizing health journey take?
On average our patients see major changes within 3-6 months depending on the severity of the disease an illness. The more complex and the longer the disease has taken root, the longer treatment can take. After the initial 3-6 months of treatment, patients often elect to undergo a maintenance health plan until health markers and symptoms have been resolved. Some of our most complex cases are ongoing for 12-24 months. These patients typically have had symptoms for over 3-5 years or more. Each patient has their own customized and individual disease process so the timelines stated above may not apply to you.
How much will Functional Medicine Cost
Unfortunately the cost can only be quantified after knowing exactly what we are up against. It is our belief that Health and Wellness are the most important investments in our life and only realized when it is taken away. It is more important than a car, your education, and material goods. Our pricing reflects having access to highest quality of medical testing as well as our customization to fix problems that the current system does not fix well. Our results of improving your condition is what you pay for.
How do I know if I am a good fit for Functional Medicine?
If you have unresolved Energy, Gut, Sleep, or Mood issues where you have not found the root cause, we could be a fit for you. We work with individuals that invest their energies into health while being hungry for accessing a better life for themselves. We are passionate about our work as we care for our patients deeply. They become our friends and are like family to us.
