Functional Medicine Doctors for Whole-Person Care

A functional medicine clinician takes a broad, patient-centered view of health. Rather than focusing only on a diagnosis or individual symptom, they review health history, lifestyle, nutrition, stress, sleep, medications, and personal goals to look for contributing factors. Functional care can complement conventional medical treatment and may include preventive planning, education, lifestyle guidance, appropriate testing, and coordination with other providers.

Conventional clinicians commonly diagnose conditions, prescribe treatment, manage urgent concerns, and provide preventive services. Functional medicine adds a deeper focus on patterns and possible contributors across lifestyle, environment, history, and daily habits. At Holistic Direct Primary Care, Dr. Tartt blends family medicine with functional, holistic, and alternative perspectives, helping patients receive evidence-informed medical care while developing individualized wellness strategies.

Functional medicine may be part of primary care, but the right arrangement depends on your health needs and existing care team. Holistic Direct Primary Care provides adult primary care along with functional approaches and can coordinate with specialists when needed. Patients should continue emergency care, specialist treatment, and prescribed medications unless a qualified clinician advises a change after reviewing their situation.

Visits begin with a detailed conversation about your symptoms, health history, medications, family history, routines, stress, sleep, nutrition, movement, and goals. Dr. Tartt assesses the information in the context of your overall health and discusses appropriate next steps. Your plan may include preventive care, lifestyle education, conventional treatment, supplement guidance, monitoring, referrals, or follow-up support through the patient portal.

Functional medicine weight management focuses on sustainable habits and the factors that can affect progress, such as nutrition, activity, sleep, stress, medications, and health conditions. Your clinician can help establish realistic goals, review relevant medical concerns, and create an individualized plan. It is not a quick-fix program; progress is monitored and adjusted based on your response, health status, and preferences.

Yes. Virtual visits can be a convenient option for many functional medicine conversations, follow-ups, education, care-plan reviews, and routine concerns. Some situations require an in-person assessment, point-of-care service, or referral, and your clinician will advise you when that is appropriate. Holistic Direct Primary Care also offers in-home visits for eligible patients within its service area.

Non-member visits are listed at $210, while membership pricing varies by age tier and includes selected services such as annual physical exams.

Functional medicine appointments are not a substitute for emergency services. Call 911 or seek emergency care for symptoms such as chest pain, severe trouble breathing, signs of stroke, uncontrolled bleeding, loss of consciousness, severe allergic reactions, or thoughts of harming yourself or others. For non-emergency concerns, a prompt primary care visit can help determine appropriate evaluation, treatment, or specialist referral.
