Functional & Integrative Medicine Care

Overview

We’ve found that most patients aren’t concerned with whether a treatment is conventional or alternative. They’re looking for what works; for the path that leads to real healing and lasting results. Our approach is rooted in integrative medicine, where care is tailored, not templated. Functional medicine is one pillar of what we do, with its focus on uncovering and addressing the root causes of illness. But we don’t stop there. 

Our team brings together deep expertise across multiple disciplines—hyperbaric therapy, ozone treatment, naturopathic and osteopathic methods, critical care, surgery, orthopedics, and more. Each patient’s care plan is thoughtfully designed from this broader landscape of tools and insights. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all medicine, rather a full-spectrum care that sees the whole person, honors their story, and quietly delivers what modern healthcare too often overlooks—true attention, deep listening, and results that speak for themselves.

Where You'll Begin

Every new patient begins with a series of appointments that sets the foundation for meaningful care. This is where we slow things down, look beneath the surface, and begin to understand how your symptoms came to be—not in isolation, but as part of a larger pattern

We don’t treat symptoms in silos. We look for the deeper drivers of imbalance: metabolic, hormonal, environmental, and inflammatory to begin connecting the dots. This series helps us uncover what your body has been trying to tell you and gives us the clarity to move forward with intention.

Below, you’ll find what to expect in each step of the process. It’s not a formality. It’s the beginning of something more honest, more personalized, and ultimately more effective.

Begin by completing this Request Appointment form. Once we receive your submission, our team will contact you within 2 business days. During this initial call, our patient advisor will get you scheduled with one of our RN care managers to begin the process. Before your first appointment, you’ll have a few forms to submit electronically, including a comprehensive intake form to learn about you and your story.

This first appointment is with your assigned RN care manager. During your visit, we explore your entire health history, lifestyle, nutrition, and childhood experiences to tailor our investigation to your specific needs. These conversations “tickle the memory” which might remind you of things that may be relevant at your second appointment with your clinician. We will also begin the process of having you send us any of your previous records for your care team to review. 

At the second appointment, you will meet with your assigned clinician. Your clinician has received the detailed health data from your initial session with the RN care manager. Based on this information, your clinician may recommend specialized functional testing or begin treatment with one of our tailored services.

Once your lab results are ready, at your third appointment you’ll meet with your clinician again to thoroughly review these findings. This session is focused on developing a personalized treatment plan that targets the root causes of your health concerns. Our approach is customized to you, blending functional medicine and regenerative therapies with conventional treatments or prescriptions, if needed. 

Some in-office components that may be part of your treatment plan that rapidly accelerate your healing include IV therapy with ozone and nutrient infusions. Depending on your specific needs, we might also integrate additional modalities such as PRP, HBOT or EBOO to enhance your healing process.

These therapies are selected to complement each other, maximizing your body’s natural healing abilities. Additional testing may be ordered if necessary to further refine your treatment strategy.

We’ll focus on sustaining your treatment plan by incorporating specific herbs and practitioner-exclusive supplements. Depending on your plan, this may also include bio-identical hormones or peptide therapy. And we’ll remind you to not underestimate the power of adequate sleep, play, hydration, prayer, and proper elimination in supporting your health journey.

After those visits, our team will review any remaining test results, assess your progress, and map out next steps. If you had blood work or a stool test, those results will be reviewed in separate appointments.

As a Concierge patient, you now have full access to everything this program includes—direct communication with your clinician and RN care manager, regular updates to your treatment plan, prescription management when needed, and ongoing tracking of your health milestones. This continuity of care is at the heart of long-term healing. No single test offers what this level of support and insight can provide.

What our functional approach treats

Our approach is fundamentally rooted in identifying and addressing the ‘root cause’ of health issues. Through comprehensive assessments, including detailed patient histories and lab testing, we pinpoint the foundational factors contributing to diseases. This focus on root causes allows us to manage and treat a broad spectrum of symptoms and conditions. Below, we highlight the 14 conditions where our expertise excels.

Lab testing

Our bodies are complex networks of interdependent systems that must operate in harmony. When an imbalance occurs, pinpointing the exact cause of your symptoms can be challenging. At our clinic, we conduct extensive testing across various body systems to piece together a comprehensive view of your health, aiming to identify the underlying reasons for your condition.

Frequently asked questions

We have the information you need for our functional and integrative treatments and the common questions we answer for our patients.

These can range from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on who you see and what is discussed. We’ll give you an idea of how much time to allow when you schedule an appointment.

If you are coming into the clinic for your appointment, this would be a great time to add an IV vitamin infusion or hyperbaric oxygen treatment if they are part of your treatment protocol.

As you undergo various lab tests and reviews, our providers will recommend specific supplements to help optimize your levels and address root cause issues. To assist you in this process, we offer our Concierge patients an exclusive discount to use on the James Clinic store toward the products our providers recommend.

Additionally, our partnership with Fullscript allows us to offer a broader range of premium supplements at a 20% discount. These products are thoroughly vetted to ensure they meet our high standards. Your healthcare provider will guide you on the best supplements for your needs.

Most conventional medicine focuses on controlling symptoms. You’re given a diagnosis, a prescription, and sent on your way. We believe that’s not enough.

Functional and integrative medicine ask a different set of questions. We look for what’s driving the issue beneath the surface: things like inflammation, hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and environmental stressors.

From there, we design care that’s tailored to your biology, your story, and your goals. It’s a more thoughtful way of practicing medicine. And for many of our patients, it’s the first time they feel truly seen.
