What is

Functional Medicine?

At Ikaria we believe that it is important for everyone to feel beautiful - inside and out. The functional medicine aspect of our practice allows you to take control and advocate for your health. Have you ever felt off and known there is something wrong with your health, but you are unable to get any answers or diagnoses? Functional medicine is patient centered care that focuses on finding the root cause of the symptoms you are experiencing. We are so excited to educate you and empower you to take control of your health!

What to expect during a functional medicine consult

Our functional medicine consultations are 45 minutes and cost $200-300. During the consultations we will explore the symptoms you are experiencing, educate you on what could be causing these symptoms,  and recommend private testing. We recognize private testing is expensive and it is not in everyone's budget. If you do not want to have private testing done we will come up with an empiric treatment plan that will help you address your symptoms.
