Doctors in Fredericksburg, VA

"Functional Medicine is a science-based health care that demands a systematic, patient-centered approach to understanding the underlying web of physiological factors and effects that influence health and the progression of disease. FM incorporates the functional principles that exist in many conventional and alternative practices but focuses on the principles of molecular medicine and modern nutritional biochemistry with an emphasis on clinical application.

According to a Functional Medicine perspective, patient care presumes that each person is a unique individual with a singular genetic structure. Our purpose as Functional Medicine practitioners is to elicit and understand our patient's uniqueness, including their experiences."
