Functional Medicine by Phone & Video
The same testing and the same root-cause care you’d get in my Phoenix office — done remotely, wherever you live.
I’ll be honest with you: I can’t fix your back over the internet. Hands-on problems need hands. But the kind of problems functional medicine solves — the fatigue, the gut issues, the hormones, the symptoms no one has been able to explain — those don’t need my hands. They need the right testing and the right plan.
And every test I run in my Phoenix office, I can run with you no matter where you are. That’s why so many of my patients are across the state, across the country, and around the world. The work is exactly the same.
Nothing gets watered down because you’re remote. The same advanced blood, stool, urine, breath, and saliva testing I order for a local patient, I order for you. The labs come to your door or to a draw facility near you. We review your results together over phone or video — and you get the same detailed plan.
Why patients come to me from all over
Not because I’m remote — plenty of practitioners offer that now. They come because of how the work is done. After 35 years and certification as a Functional Medicine Practitioner, my approach hasn’t changed.
Find the foundation, not just the symptom
We test thoroughly and identify what’s actually driving your symptoms — then treat the root cause instead of chasing the surface. If something is outside what I can responsibly handle from a distance, I’ll tell you plainly and help you find the right care nearby.
Test, treat, then retest
We don’t guess and hope. After treatment, in most cases we retest to confirm the plan actually worked — so you have proof your health is moving in the right direction, not just a promise.
How working with me remotely actually works
The whole process, start to finish — so there are no surprises.
Fill out your history. Start with the Functional Medicine New Patient Form so I have a full picture of your health before we ever speak.
We set up your Get Acquainted Visit. Once your history is in, my office reaches out to schedule your first visit by phone or video. I review everything beforehand, then walk you through what I suspect is going on, hand you a document listing the exact testing you need and what it costs, and answer your questions.
Testing comes to you. Blood orders go to a draw facility near you; stool, urine, breath, and saliva tests ship to your home with everything you need. You mail samples back in the supplies provided. No travel to Phoenix required.
We review your results and build your plan. Once results are in, we meet again and I walk you through what they mean — then your specific plan for diet, lifestyle, supplements, and any referral you may need for care I can’t provide remotely.
We stay in touch and retest. As you progress, we check in, and in most cases we retest to confirm the treatment is doing its job.
What I can — and can’t — help with from a distance
Virtually any functional medicine concern
If it’s something I’d work on in the office — fatigue and low energy, gut and digestive issues, hormones and thyroid, autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, or the chronic symptoms no one has been able to explain — I can work on it with you remotely. Where you live doesn’t change what’s possible.
In-office only
Hands-on services — chiropractic adjustments, massage, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and red light therapy — require you to be in the Phoenix office, so those are for local patients.
Common questions
Where do you work with patients?
All over. I work with functional medicine patients across the country and around the world. Wherever you are, if it’s something functional medicine can help, we can work together.
How does lab testing work if I’m not local?
Blood work goes to a draw facility close to you. Stool, urine, breath, and saliva tests are mailed to your home with prepaid return shipping. You never have to travel to Phoenix for testing.
Is virtual care really as effective as coming in?
For functional medicine, yes. The value is in the testing and the plan, and both are identical whether you’re in my office or in your living room.
Will I ever need to come to Phoenix?
For functional medicine, no — the entire process can be done by phone or video. The only reason to come in is if you want hands-on care like chiropractic or hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
How long does it take, and what does it cost?
It depends on what your testing reveals and what we’re working to resolve. Testing costs vary by what you need — usually somewhere between $100 and $3,000 — and at your Get Acquainted Visit I’ll give you a document laying out exactly what’s recommended and what it costs, before you commit to anything.
Ready to get to the root of it?
It starts with your history form. Once it’s in, my office will reach out to set up your Get Acquainted Visit by phone or video — no matter where you live.
