Our Functional Medicine experts are currently accepting new patients. If you’re looking for a holistic approach to health that focuses on long-term wellness and not just symptom management, we are here to help.

Fresno Medical Center offers specialized care in Functional Medicine, tailored to address the root causes of health issues, ensuring seamless coordination of your comprehensive care.

When preparing for your initial visit with a functional medicine doctor, bringing comprehensive health information will help ensure a thorough and personalized evaluation. To make the most of your appointment, consider these helpful guidelines:

Bring a detailed list of all current medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products, along with dosages and frequency. This information helps the doctor evaluate your treatment safely and effectively. Prepare a thorough medical history, including any previous diagnoses, hospitalizations, surgeries, and treatments. Obtain copies of relevant medical records, such as lab results, imaging studies, and specialist reports, to provide a clearer picture of your health.

Be ready to discuss your family’s medical history, including chronic conditions, autoimmune disorders, and hereditary illnesses. This can help identify potential genetic risk factors that may affect your health. Your doctor may ask about lifestyle and environmental factors, including your diet, exercise routine, sleep patterns, stress management, and exposure to toxins. These factors help tailor your care plan to your specific needs.

Be prepared to clearly describe your symptoms, including when they started, their frequency and intensity, and any triggers or alleviating factors. Keeping a symptom journal can provide valuable insights to guide diagnosis and treatment. Write down any questions or concerns you have about your health and your expectations for the visit. This will ensure that you feel informed, comfortable, and confident about the personalized care plan moving forward.

By preparing this information beforehand, you are supporting Fresno Medical Center’s commitment to high-quality, individualized healthcare, enabling our providers to better address your unique health needs and goals.

We understand that every patient has unique health needs and timelines. Starting functional medicine care can result in varying timelines for noticeable results, as each patient’s experience is influenced by individual health factors. The focus is on addressing the root causes of health concerns, leading to gradual and progressive improvements rather than just masking symptoms.

The time it takes to see changes depends on factors like the severity and chronicity of the condition, individual response to treatment, the specific methods used, and adherence to lifestyle adjustments. Some patients report initial improvements within a few weeks, especially for recent or less chronic issues. For more long-standing health concerns, significant changes usually take several months of consistent care and lifestyle modifications.

Patience, consistency, and follow-ups are key. Treatment plans are adjusted as necessary to ensure optimal outcomes. It’s important to have realistic expectations and stay committed to the treatment plan. By partnering with Fresno Medical Center and embracing this integrative approach, you can achieve meaningful, lasting, and sustainable health improvements.

Insurance acceptance for functional medicine services can vary from practice to practice, depending on the physician, services offered, and insurance provider. Many functional medicine consultations and certain diagnostic tests may be partially or fully covered by health insurance providers using conventional medical billing codes. However, specialized services such as advanced diagnostic testing, personalized nutrition plans, or supplements may not always be covered by traditional insurance plans. For those whose insurance does not cover all aspects of care, detailed invoices or superbills can be provided for submission to insurance companies for potential reimbursement.
