ADULT AND GYN Wellness consists of vitals, yearly women’s exam with screenings (PAP, pelvic exam, breast exam) and addresses smaller/less involved concerns or questions.
Functional Consult consists of vitals and addressing more involved issues, in which specific labs or speciality kits may be ordered. This appointment dives into lifestyle, diet, etc. to get to the root cause of health issues. The provider will create a recommended care plan to make whatever changes necessary for healing (nutrition, health coach, supplements).
Functional medicine is the future of medicine, where providers treat the “whole” person and get to the root cause of disease. By establishing a patient and provider partnership, Functional Medicine Institute is transforming healthcare by giving the patient the ultimate power to heal. Functional Medicine efforts focus on the root causes of an individual’s condition and treats those causes.
Our philosophy for optimum health is based on our belief that everyone has the potential to achieve wellness. We believe that by studying the individual and his or her interactions with their environment (exercise, toxic exposures, sleep patterns, diet, stressors, mental health, and history of disease or dysfunctions), we are better equipped to help our patients achieve improved health and wellness.
All patients who are in-network are able to select Functional Medicine Institute as their primary care provider after they establish themselves as a patient at our clinic. After their initial functional consult, they can then be seen for annual wellness exams and acute visits.

To avoid our no-show fees, please cancel an appointment at least 48 BUSINESS hours prior your appointment. The no-show fees for cancelling less than 48 business hours before or not showing up for an appointment are: $150 for new patient appointments and wellnesses, and $100 for all other provider appointment types, and $50 for nutrition or health coaching appointments.
For Adult/Primary Care, Men’s/Women’s Health, Nutrition/Health Coaching, and Pediatric (WCC and Acute) appointments:
If a patient shows up > 5 min late for a 15 or 20 minute appointment, > 10 min late for a 30 min appointment, > 15 min late for a 40 or 45 minute appointment, or > 20 min late for a 60 min appointment, the PCR will cancel the appointment at the time of the patient’s arrival.
Although we understand that situations can arise at the last minute that can cause our patients to be late, we also want to provide the best appointment possible with the appropriate amount of time to cover everything. In these cases, we’re more than happy to reschedule.
Only established patients who have had an intake visit with a provider may schedule appointments for nutrition counseling and health coaching.
Nutrition visit coverage varies largely between insurance companies. Call your insurance company and inquire about how many “preventive” visits are covered annually.
All patients have the option to opt for cash-pay nutrition visits.
