Functional medicine is a personalized, root-cause approach to care. Instead of focusing only on symptoms, we look at how every system in your body is connected and work to identify what's actually driving how you feel. The goal is long-term healing, not just short-term relief.

Functional medicine consultations go deeper than a typical visit. You'll have more time, more thorough conversations, and access to advanced testing. Dr. Himes works alongside your existing providers to fill in the gaps and build a plan tailored to you.

It helps to bring any previous lab work, medical records, or a list of current medications and supplements. The more context Dr. Himes has going in, the more productive your initial consultation will be. Our team can walk you through what to prepare when you call to schedule.

Initial consultations are typically longer — plan for at least 45 minutes to an hour. Dr. Himes does not rush. Follow-up appointments are generally shorter but still thorough. Your time with him is focused entirely on your care.

After your initial visit, Dr. Himes will review your history, any lab work, and the goals we discussed together. From there, you'll receive a personalized protocol with clear next steps, whether that involves additional testing, supplement support, lifestyle changes, or other recommendations.

Yes. We work with children and families to help support overall wellness, identify root causes, and create personalized health plans based on individual needs. Age requirements and services may vary, so we recommend reaching out to discuss your child’s specific concerns.
