FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE PHYSICIAN In Virginia

No. I’m based in Richmond, but I provide virtual medical care to patients throughout Virginia. You must be physically located in Virginia at the time of your appointment.

I describe myself as a holistic physician because I consider whole-person care in each treatment plan. I’m also a board-certified internist and practicing physician, so I can order testing, prescribe medication, and coordinate with your existing healthcare team.

Look closely at each practitioner’s professional license, medical training, functional medicine education, clinical experience, and ability to provide the services you need.

Functional medicine practitioners in Virginia may include physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, dietitians, health coaches, and other professionals. Their training and scope of practice can vary. As a physician, I can evaluate your health within the context of your complete medical history, order testing, prescribe medication, and coordinate with your primary care team.

No. You’ll maintain a relationship with your primary care physician for routine screenings, vaccinations, urgent needs, and general primary care. My role is to complement that care by providing additional time and expertise in functional and lifestyle medicine.

Yes. I can prescribe or adjust medications when they are appropriate for your care. I also consider nutrition, lifestyle changes, supplements, and complementary therapies alongside those decisions.

I can order standard laboratory testing through your local Quest or Labcorp, self-pay testing through Ulta Lab Tests, and advanced functional health testing through Rupa Health. You complete the testing near you, and we review the results during a virtual follow-up visit.

I do not bill insurance. Patients with commercial insurance may request a superbill to submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement. I cannot provide superbills for Medicare or Medicaid because I have opted out of both programs.
