Functional Medicine is about treating the whole person, not just isolated symptoms.
At Prima Medicine we describe functional medicine as a patient-centered, science-based approach that focuses on treating the whole person and finding root causes (like inflammation, hormone shifts, and lifestyle factors) rather than only addressing symptoms; Our functional medicine physician Dr. Mandana Shafai, MD uses in-depth assessments and advanced testing to create personalized, evolving treatment plans that can include chronic disease support, nutrition guidance, lifestyle coaching (sleep, stress, activity), and hormone balancing to help restore overall wellness.
